It’s February of 1980, and Dale Earnhardt is hungry to return to victory lane. The Osterlund-2 car hasn't brought home a win since David Pearson filled in for Dale at the Southern 500 the previous year. Plus, with a new contract and sponsorship comes expectations, so needless to say, he’s eager to hold up his end of the bargain. Thankfully, he won’t have to wait long, as he overcomes adversity at Atlanta for his first speedway win and follows it up with a repeat at Bristol. He quickly goes from a potential flash-in-the-pan, one-time winner to etching his name into the NASCAR history books. But racing is a humbling sport, and his jubilation won’t last long. More engine problems and a lack of speed would relegate him back to the middle of the pack, and that pressure to perform would build up again. Unfortunately, this time, the pressure pushes Dale to make a blunderous mistake on the opening lap of the spring Martinsville event, and he has a run-in with a fella you never want to cross: King Richard Petty.…

Dale Earnhardt Jr. spends a little extra time with his Amazon Prime broadcast booth partners Adam Alexander and Steve Letarte on this week’s episode of the Dale Jr. Download. After an adventurous trip to Mexico City this past weekend, the three had a lot of notes to compare on their respective experiences. The guys marveled at the state-of-the-art Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez facility and how the stadium section provided a unique, grandiose feeling to the race weekend. They also share stories about working with their producers and how gratifying it is to receive positive feedback throughout a production for their racing insight. The three discuss how intimidating a television compound can be and how comforting it is that so many members of the NBC crew were part of the Prime productions. They also look forward to their upcoming time on TNT and anticipate what will be different when the move is made back to a network as opposed to streaming. The conversation takes a look at the Playoffs picture and how it has changed with Shane Van Gisbergen’s Mexico City victory, as well as the ongoing Ricky Stenhouse/Carson Hocevar feud. They also answer questions in an “Ask The Booth” segment, sharing what their go-to booth snacks are, thoughts on the In-Season Tournament & the funniest moment that has happened to them on air this season.

Becoming Earnhardt 1980 Vol. 2 - Clash of the Iron Gladiators 27:36

With the scene set, it’s off to the races in 1980. The NASCAR Cup Series heads out to Riverside, California, to begin the season, and sophomore Dale Earnhardt is hoping to improve his road course performance. He will, in fact, finish runner-up to Darrell Waltrip, who, after a narrow loss in the 1979 points race, is regarded as a championship favorite for this year. Dale caps his successful West Coast trip off with a new season sponsor and a contract extension with Rod Osterlund, and he’s understandably feeling at the top of his game. He rolls that confidence into Daytona Beach, where he shows his first glimpses of supernatural ability on the superspeedway high banks. He makes a last lap pass on the outside of Darrell Waltrip to pick up his first victory at the track, the Busch Clash. But when all the marbles are on the line in the Daytona 500, he has to go toe to toe with Buddy Baker and the fastest stock car in the country: Waddell Wilson’s Gray Ghost.

David Green: Why He Turned Down A Ride From Dale Earnhardt 1:52:11

1:52:11

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with 1994 Busch Series champion David Green to learn why he turned down a ride from his dad, what it was like replacing Ricky Hendrick, and how he navigated racing against his two brothers. After growing up in Owensboro, Kentucky and venturing into kart racing with his brothers David and (former DJD guest) Jeff, David made the transition into late model racing and found success in the NASCAR All-American Challenge Series. His relationships with Wayne Day, Mike Alexander and Bobby Labonte helped usher him into the NASCAR garage, initially building cars and making one-off starts in the Busch Series. But once Bobby Labonte was promoted to the Cup Series and vacated his family-owned ride, David was hired full-time and would lead the team to the 1994 Busch Series championship. David fills Dale in on an encounter he had with Dale Sr. where he was approached to replace his brother Jeff in the #3 DEI Busch car. He also reflects on his time spent driving for Hendrick Motorsports, replacing Ricky Hendrick when he made the decision to step away from racing in 2002. The conversation also covers David’s decision to retire from the driver’s seat, and how he took a position working as a NASCAR official as part of the research and development safety team, where he currently works today.

Ron Howard On Apollo 13, Dale Earnhardt & Why True Stories Matter 57:54

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with legendary director and film producer Ron Howard to learn more about his involvement in the Amazon Prime series Earnhardt, as well as a deep dive into Ron's storied career. After finding stardom as a child actor on the Andy Griffith Show and becoming an icon as part of the famed Happy Days series, Ron made the decision to move behind the camera and began a sterling career as a director and producer. Dale Jr. was curious about Ron’s process of picking a project to work on, which Ron explains can be different every time but relies a lot on his gut feeling. Ron says that the Earnhardt story checked many boxes of great storytelling as it was relatable and had larger-than-life characters that faced challenges. Ron recalls moving into projects that dealt with real-life events, which began when he took on Apollo 13. Although he originally felt that historical subjects might limit creativity, he found telling the stories in a film setting to be liberating, and it helped him step into the documentary world. The guys also chat about the films that surprised Ron with how they were received, and what he feels his greatest accomplishments in his career have been so far. Ron talks about the process of getting nominated for Best Director and how technology has evolved filmmaking and the art of storytelling on screen. Dale also inquires about Ron’s decision to leave acting and move into the world of directing, likening it to a race driver’s decision to retire from behind the wheel.
