Nastycar and some of their “rules” are what have ruined a once great sport. Restrictor plates. Really? Are they scared someone will go fast? IT’S A RACE! Fighting? Yarborough and the Allisons ring a bell? I’m a little too close to this subject to get involved here. We are out of the racing business now, and I don’t want to upset any family here so FOR THE RECORD THIS IS MY OPINION ONLY. Not to reflect the views of any race teams either existent or non existent. Dale, you and your dad gave us many great races and decades of racing entertainment. For that we thank you from the very bottom of our hearts!
I have zero love or hate for either driver, but going after a guy while wearing a Helmet is weak…especially when that Helmet is rated to help guys survive in 160mph crashes. Clint looked weak and foolish for that move, IMO.
Hey Dale Jr.. When are you gonna get back in a car and race and why not race in the Camping World SRX series if not in a Cup race… Your thoughts on this….. Loved going to see you race at Bristol..
This other guy is to smiley and fake
Here's the thing with what the guy in the booth is saying to JR if what he says happens what if one driver hits a guy so hard that it kills him now he is going to eat those words because if a driver did die then the driver's parents will be with out a child if he's married and has children then that's a wife who has lost her husband kids who will grow up without there daddy and then the guy who caused it will most certainly do jail time and have to deal with knowing he hilled a man. I get the excitement of having a fight but these guys get paid to drive cars at 200 mph and push them to the edge that's dangerous enough we get to see cars wreck flip fly hit each other in the car so I don't think we necessarily need a fight outside of it there's enough excitement in the race to be sufficient these guys get paid plenty of money they should be able to work it out some other way if they want to fight do it on the track or they're strapped in to one of the safest machines ever designed that's the best way to deal with it in my opinion I'm 43 years old and if you would have asked the 23-year-old me out of said beat the s*** out of them but I've grown up and I know the severe consequences that can come from hitting someone too damn hard even if you don't kill him you could damn sure do a lot of damage think about Dale Jr and what he went through with his concussions it was horrible for him he had to step out of the race car and retire because of the concussions so there's always that possibility too to consider you could give someone such a severe concussion that they can't drive anymore and as much as fighting is a part of the sport and there's the allure of it I don't think NASCAR should be promoting it I know it's going to happen but they should try to dissuade it from happening it doesn't set a good example for our youth that's just my opinion though.
Bowyer is a punk weasel and way to teach your son how to act.
People want fair rules for a fight that stemmed from an unfair move on the track 😂
RULE #1 There are no rules…..
Years back either Michael Waltrip did not like Spam or Lake Speed said something stupid and Michael laid haymakers while Lake was still in the car.
When did racing become so girly?? It use to be hey I wouldn't have bumped you if you could drive and your car wasn't slow
Clown sized boxing gloves shown on tv.
Put a boxing ring in the infield and let them go
they cant allow a fight until someone falls … thats just stupid (put that idiots mic on mute) … great way to end a someones career … I can see it now, a driver in the points lead gets a concussion from someone not in the chase and sits out several races … just because of hurt feelings … who ever throws first punch should be suspended for 5 races .. if you want fights, go watch hockey or WFC … I love racing, not fights !
If a dude wrecks you on purpose, there aren't any rules to the fistfight he just invited himself to.
I think it’s OK to get your frustrations out one or two punches and then Becca because you’ll always pay the consequences and that’s when everybody’s man enough to understand that and it’ll balance out just by opinion thank you ve
Newman needs one of those inflatable copilots from the movie Airplane.
Was Newman ever on this podcast…. or ANY podcast? He seems like a black hole social media wise.
Dale is that an angels and airwaves sticker on your laptop?
Ryan Newman roadblock Newman I call him
Ryan Newman roadblock Newman I call him
Hey Junior I bet you he wanted to walk over to your old man's car the old man with a kicked his ass when he got out of the car
At 4:03 – you missed a *beep*! LOL
How is there only 209,000 subscribers. This is pure gold and I can’t stop watching.
I'm still bummed over the heretofore lack of video of Richard Childress beating the crap out of Kyle Douche's face! "Hold my watch…." LOL !!!
There are no rules to fighting
Bowyer v. Newman would make a helluva fight if they both had a mind to. But Bowyer has a sense of humor too, while Newman is just a redass!
Reminds me of Waltrip and speed in the same race back in 94.
I think today's racing lacks that I enjoy getting a kick out of the Tony Stewart comments every time I see him it makes me laugh the drivers today and the racing today lacks them personalities and and it's it's sad it makes it harder to watch though I love racing it's just too clean of racing I guess it's a nice way of putting it
And as I'm sitting here I'm thinking wow what would today's Young racers think about racing with the likes of Tony Stewart and and Spencer Jimmy Spencer and some of the LOL some of the tempers back 20-25 years ago they probably be scared to death and very intimidated but I think about that you know if these guys were rubbing and racing with Tony Stewart today he probably scared the daylights out of these guys LOL
I really get a kick out of these guys watching them pre-race as you know announcers and and getting their opinions because they carry that same attitude as they did when they drove if you get them on a rainy day and the races postponed a few hours and you go to their RVs and ask him questions you never know what the hell you were going to get and what answer she were going to get today you do you know what you know you know what they're going to say and you know prim and proper but back when Stewart and all them guys were in their Hay Day and it was postponed because of rain and you take that Mike and and the TV crew to their RV it was like hold on you never knew what they were going to say and the sport lacks that it just slacks the personalities that it had 15 you know 15 years ago no it's interesting it just it's it's lacking something and I'm not sure what it is you know something that the New Gen car can't fix if that makes any sense
Get newman and boyer in ring now… I bet on newman…
Don’t let it turn into pro hockey. Talking about hockey ‘code’ in regards to fighting is ridiculous. Just ask Donald Brashear when he was blindsided by McSorely. Or the Bertuzzi/Moore incident. Countless enforcers taking their own lives due to depression from being concussed multiple times and pain pills.
Be careful what you wish for.
I remember after a race where Marcus Ambrose put a pop knot on Casey Mears. Didn't seem to matter. But hey, if you feel the need, at least televise it!
Don’t fight fair ,fight to win!
Leah is a smoke show in this video.
When you gone punch someone at least let him out of the car but in fighting there is no rules Richard Childress punching kyle bush priceless richard you did not punch him enough
You should never enter a fight if it isn’t serious enough to be attempting to kill the other person. Anything less should be talked out.
We could just do what pc democrats say and just hug each other and fly a gay pride flag for world peace instead of the very very bad mean evil violence hahahahahahahshs
Let us remember the post 1979 Daytona fight put Nascar on the map.
Great is subjective for sure,,
Yes, I want the guy to get laid out! There ARE rules in hockey fighting. Definitely apply hockey rules to NASCAR.
Remember Daytona 1979: Donnie Allison vs Cale Yarborough.
Ya' gotta let the driver get out of the car, though. I do think they need to take their helmets off first, then "Go at it, boys !!".
Bower may be 6', and lift bails of hay, but he is only 150lbs., while Newman is only 5'7" and 180lbs., I think Newman can and would take him in a hockey-style fight.
Dale… rules in a street fight.. WTF.
Don't run mouth, dont poke a bear
If Newman would have got out of the car. That would have been different.
Hey Jr. You remember that time you were on the cross? Yeahhhh.
It’s a child that “just goes over there and punches him”. A gentleman, I dare say, A MAN, fights fairly, with honor and dignity. I know it’s possible since I’ve done it since high school.
I don't claim to be a badass, but those punches looked like rock em sock em robots and pretty weak.
Dale senior's last IROC race he was unhappy with Eddie Cheever. There is footage of him saying, I ain't never hit a man sitting in a car before and then he tells Cheever how he felt. That's good enough for me.
The guy behind the keyboard seems like a tough guy. It's always the bigger ones that are the easiest to drop, yet the loudest to talk.
Boyer didn't leave a mark with those PITTY PAT PUNCHES.
