Kevin Harvick recalls the time he was CHEWED OUT by Dale Earnhardt | Harvick’s Happy Hour

Totally can see Dale saying “You load this m’fer in the truck!” 😂

This is a creepy yet amazing story. One of those ‘test’ cars wound up being the Atlanta 2001 winner.

I think one of the reasons Earnhardts 2000 season was so good was because they had Harvick testing. The fact Earnhardt wouldnt test is wild. He was too busy. You needed to test back then. Thankfully they had someone like Harvick around.

I'm sure Dale would be beyond incredibly proud of Dale Jr. and Kevin today.

"we were young, and didn't care" Worthy of the book of quotes!

If ya need a pillow!! 😃 Man I miss the Intimidator!!!!

The Jordan boys are great folks congrats Tyler on your new baby!

If Dale was still around, He’d shake his head so hard at the kids around today.

Bless him. Dale was resistant to any change of his "norm". Gave the man a car almost a full second faster, but because it wasn't set up the way he thought it should he refused to drive it. Must be why he was called Iron Head.

I can imagine the look Dal3 gave him when he said that about the pillow 😂😂

Sucks we can never hear these stories from the man himself. I know Dale was pretty hard headed and difficult at times but i feel like he would've opened up more once his driving career was over

I'm sure if Dale Sr was still around he could have said to Kevin harvick that's not what happened.😊

Harvick is a class act

Btw I dealt with this same issue. I raced from 4-25yrs old. Stock, sprint, winged sprint, legend. Now I watch my 6 kids. But all 21yrs. All the older guys or car owners. Would try to set my car up with a 1980-1990 setup. Why? Because the first success they had was with that setup in that time frame. But they fail to realize the cars, shocks, springs, aero packages, tires etc all had changed. As a result my #1 rule is. ALL SETUPS HAVE A 1yr expiration date and need to be re-certified yearly! If aeropackages are changed it will change everything. Sometimes only a 1% change. Other times 75% change. That rule was born as a result of me being paranoid I would end up like the old guys using outdated setups. It’s so easy to fall in that trap when your in the moment. By nature all Drivers hate change! So with my kids I’m very aware. When I build a new car they will complain or resist. Not because they don’t like it. It’s simply because drivers hate change. You gotta be mature enough and acknowledge it. So you can put pressure to help them change. Literally every new race car, my daughter loves it after she races it 1-2x. But I still have to force her to drive the new car. Just because the confidence gets ripped out from under a driver everytime you change something. They fear the specific car or setup is why they’ve won so much. So taking that car away, rolling in a new race car. They fear they’ve just lost something. Not realizing the new car is 50% better.

Dale's way or the highway I guess.

#3 lives on 🙏🏻 Kevin you were lucky Dale didn’t smack you 😂

3 laps to go -#17 in line and you Won Daytona ! BEST WIN IVE SEEN 😉

Im pretty certain dale and richard had hand picked kevin to take over for him when dale retired
