Dale Earnhardt Jr. reunites with an old friend from a different world, longtime PGA competitor Boo Weekley. For those who don’t know Boo, he’s a world-class storyteller and one hell of a golfer. If you don’t know Boo, you’ll be a fan of his after this episode. From his legendary porta-potty story to the time he once fought an orangutan, it’s safe to say you’ll be entertained during this one. After establishing himself as one of the most unique personalities in the professional golfing world, Boo became connected with Dale through another lifelong interest: auto racing. Boo explains that he grew up now far from a local dirt track in Florida, and his entire family followed NASCAR passionately. To quote Boo himself: “It wasn’t football on Sundays, it was NASCAR”. Dale recalls several instances of Boo traveling to Charlotte for race weekends, and how he became friends with many of Dale’s close friends during those trips. Boo’s professional career came about after he had given up on playing golf. He explains that while he was working as a hydroblaster at the Monsanto plant in Pensacola, he was convinced by longtime friend Heath Slocum to attend a local tournament. He ended up winning and quickly declared himself “professional,” and began collecting sponsorship to enter larger, higher-paying events. Boo became a fan favorite on the PGA Tour thanks to his memorable nickname and down-to-earth personality. After taking some time away from the sport due to injuries, he is now back full-time playing with the PGA Tour Champions.

Dale Earnhardt Jr welcomes in his father's championship-winning crew chief Doug Richert for a special edition of the Dale Jr Download. On the heels of the Becoming Earnhardt: 1980 series, the two dive into Dale Earnhardt's sophomore season & first Cup Championship. Doug was only 20 years old at the time, but he has plenty of stories to tell. Doug's relationship with Dale Earnhardt went beyond the race track, as he shares stories of the two of them spending time waterskiing on the lake in between race weekends. The #2 team started the season swinging, winning the Busch Clash in Daytona. From there, the team won races at Atlanta & Bristol and were early contenders for the Winston Cup Championship. In the middle of the season, Crew Chief Jake Elder leaves the team, suddenly putting Doug in charge. He talks about the abrupt transition to the Crew Chief role and what challenges he and the team faced. Dale and Doug discuss the #2 team's main opponents and how they weren't afraid to ruffle feathers along the way. Doug also shares the story of winning the championship at Ontario and why he got in trouble for taking an unauthorized victory lap in Dale's car. If you loved the newest season of Becoming Earnhardt, you're going to love this.
