  As an older sibling, I have SO much respect for Kelly. Older daughters tend to be parentified really early and it can really mess up relationships and self esteem. To see how she took it on, made the best of it, AND kept looking out for her little brother is amazing. I'm glad Dale is giving her the props she deserves.

  I appreciate his humility, vulnerability, and taking accountability and responsibility. He seems to be a genuinely considerate human.

  I don’t know how Dale held it together during this, but his transparency, and his honesty are a example that would make the world a better place to live.

  I'm not a huge Nascar fan, I would watch some races. But Dale Jr. has to be one of the most relatable,  down to Earth, driver's.  A great guy, with an awesome sister.

  This is by no means a put down to Dale Sr, but Dale Jr is 1000 times a man his father was. I’m so happy he broke the cycle of being a “man” ! I really applaud him.

  I met Dale a couple years ago while my child was staying at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. He was just as genuine and gracious then as he was in this interview. Still touches my heart.

  Wow, I have so much respect for Jr and everything he’s become. NASCAR should promote Dale and listen to Dale to make the sport better.  Thanks for being a man and not scared of telling a very personal era while under the microscope of NASCAR and it’s fans.

  Dale Jr deserves alot of respect. Alot of people like him won't be open about stuff the way he is.

  I've had at least six concussions that I know of, plus one coma.  Thank you Dale Jr for sharing your story.

  I've been credentialed media for the Daytona 500. I watched him in 2019 leave the media center the morning of the race, immediately get swarmed by 200 fans who want just a moment with him. There were no cameras on him. He DID NOT have to spare a second for these people because he was working as media for NBC. He was no longer a driver. However Dale stopped right in front of the Budweiser Bistro (the main concession area in the infield) and signed people's hats, t-shirts, diecasts and anything else they wanted for a solid five minutes and gave those fans what they wanted. With a smile on his face. The man doesn't put up some front for a camera. With Dale, what you see, is EXACTLY what you get. THAT is why so many people respect this guy. There's plenty of examples in a LOT of sports of athletes who only care about two things. Championships and money. Dale cares about ALL of it. One of the finest people to ever grace the sport, regardless of what a statistics sheet may say...
