Putting Country back in Racing. Brilliant. Getting back to the dirt roads where racing started.

I'm gonna buy me a bottle to help support this

[Chris-xgm]

Never saw this coming. My favorite two from totally opposite ends. We are so proud of our Kentucky boy. His voice is what true country is. Dale jr. is nascar. Never missed a race during his career. Never missed a Dale jr. Download. Can’t wait for the 500.

[velvetjones]

JRM dipping their toe in Cup racing is going to be cool. I wish all great success.

[ohio-en]

If it took putting a car in the 500 to have this conversation...so be it. This conversation is the gift no one knew we needed, until we heard it. thank you

I’m a huge Stapleton fan and I love Traveller Whiskey. I’ve always enjoyed open wheel racing but never got into NASCAR, but I’m absolutely tuning in for this race. Best of luck at Daytona guys 🇺🇸

Chris is a genius he knows anything junior touches turns to gold, this is the best advertisement money can buy, Junior is so popular his whiskey sales wil quadruple from this. The car is sharp i cant wait for this race

[deadnarco]

Can’t wait to see how far Jr Motorsports can push them to success!! Your father would be very proud of everything you’re doing!!

[ThyBooon]

I was a die hard Jr. hater when he drove, (I’m was and still am a Stewart fan” but JRM had been my second fandom for years now. I haven’t stopped smiling since this announcement happened.

[bevnracin]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH ❤ JR Nation has been waiting for this and I'm here for it ! 👏🥃❤️🎉

[tylersanders]

Dale and Chris just made history. I think I might watch this again and again. I am very intrigued and supportive of this! Excellent video too! Chris Stapleton, I am a big fan of one of your older songs called "What are you listening to". In my opinion that's one of your best songs you've ever sang and you knock it out of the park! This is right up my alley, excellent country music and one of my favorite names in NASCAR. Good move guys!

[davidhiggs]

Might be my favorite DirtyMo product yet. Great job Dale!!! Chris is pretty cool dude in his own right!!!

[chrsdavism]

Chris' words from 47:20 - 49:00 literally brought me to tears. He is so right, there's no other feeling like that one, lucky / blessed is he who gets to live that out professionally.

[cuttnhorse]

That 8 minutes with Justin Timberlake at the CMA’s brought the house down! The best ever!❤

[bodine]

Do it for Dale. Thank you Dale Jr., Kelly, Rick, Chris, and Justin for driving! Thanks to the race team as well! I wish all of you guys and girls the best at Daytona!💯🤙🏻

[tntinavolfan]

To say I am proud of JRM is an understatement!! I am so looking forward to the Daytona 500 and to see that beautiful car on the track! I haven’t been this excited since Dale Jr was in the 500! 🧡

[Lodihighfootball]

Haven’t been this excited for the Daytona 500 in a long time I was a huge Earnhardt fan when he passed, I barely kept tabs on the sport. I mean, I pulled for Junior really haven’t paid much attention since then this will get me watching again… Chris Stapleton puts on a great concert seen him twice now when he’s talking about being in the zone or in the pocket with his band, reminds me of back in the day when I was playing linebacker we used to call it in the zone, everything just kind of flows almost an outer body experience type situation so coolto hear him. Talk about that experience and totally relate. Very freaking interview.

[oneworldonegoal]

Double PS Love how much Chris had input, he speaks as well as he sings, and what a well spoken driver Justin is too - happy for everybody over there plus cool that it ties back to the old whiskey and fast cars days! 🥃🎵🎶 M. In Miami : )
