Ernie Irvan on Motor Week LIVE!

-RacersReunion® RADIO

i allways liked ernie - he is one of the funniest guys to be around - he aint got a poker face he is allways smiling - had lots of fun with him - the first time i ever met him he was helping install seats at charlotte motor speedway doing some welding - he could really drive a late model on dirt - he was just plain exciting to watch - you knew you were in for action when he showed up - he gave dale sr the chills - dale never did really like racing him .

just consider the source - watching those guys is a total waste of time - totally meaningless !!!!

the rcr thing is a little deeper than what people know - rc himself has more interests now than before - how much money goes into the team is important - you cant just rest on your laurels - remember when dale sr had acouple seasons of trying to play catch up running mid pack - kurt schelmerdine wanted them to stay ahead on technology - rc wanted more money in his pocket - when you get set you can get complacent - then the edge is gone - mwr is hungry now and clint made the right choice for himself - at rcr austin and ty will own that place - no one knows the future - but at rcr blood will be thicker than water .

Dale Earnhardt Commercial Outtakes

Stock Car Racing History

one of the funniest things i remember about dale sr - bill elliott had set the record at 212 mph - we were at the next race andbill elliott and some other drivers were taking call in questions - well dale sr went by and dropped in and took a call from a little girl about 12yrs old - she asked him what was the fastest he had ever run - and he said something like 211 mph just a little behind elliott - we all laughed and gave him down the road because about two weeks before he was on that tractor at his farm and got over a yellow jacket nest - that was the fastest he ever ran -they didnt care he was a nascar champion - it was one of those moments you hope no one was watching - but we were and it was funny as hell - dale got mad at us - he could dish it out but he didnt take it too well .

i personally think the autograph thing is overated - there is a difference in signing a die cast and signing a autograph book or picture for a kid - the value is in proof - if your going to sell it you better have apicture of the driver signing that item - there are some creative forgers - i once saw a guy at a show who could duplicate dale sr autograph perfectly - only a real handwriting expert could tell the difference - so if you buy something without proof you dont know what your getting - having a personal item like a hat or shirt ,picture,autograph book or a race ticketis just that - personal - you the fan know its real so no proof is needed - these items shouldnt be sold ever - having something no one else has is cool - billy scotts wife barbara has the coup-de-grace - she has a autograph from dale sr signed - love dale earnhardt - no one else has one and i bet hers isnt for sale .

the new gerneration x fan base is not growing as well as nascar would like - but they could remove half the seating and still make train loads of money - just the money they fleece from parking in a weekend is over a million dollars - if you are a vendor every tray is counted and every dollar drained - these guys are all about the dollar - ive seen some of the new marketing packages for next year and nascar is going after their newer target audiences - more gimmicks and more showtime type entertainment - just wait till next year - it is only going to get more entertainment oriented - and nascar considers these good problems to have - i think the drivers are stoic also - but they are talented behind the wheel - watch them sign autographs they dont smile or even look at the person they are signing for and if the cameras arent rolling you may not even get one - buddy baker saw a big name driver tell a fan he didnt sign autographs - most of the drivers dont want to bother with fans and that is a fact - it is what it is and the show must go on .
