I had the distinct pleasure and honor of being one of the builders who worked on the 100 foot "Sunday Money'' yacht. As a die-hard Earnhardt fan, this was a dream job for sure. It was about 6 weeks away from being delivered when he passed. Dale, Teresa, and young Taylor visited the plant a few times while it was under construction. His boat captain was there most of the time. He was a very nice guy, and funny as hell. Dale was definitely an attention to detail kind of guy and genuinely appreciated quality craftsmanship. I vividly remember walking into work the Monday morning after Daytona. The flagpole just outside the main entrance to the plant was at half-mast. It was somber to say the least.
Man that had to be a sad day at work. I can't imagine what all of you guys felt that day.
Who ended up taking delivery of the new boat?
Every Yacht he owned would have been named "Sunday Money" then. Surely if you worked on a new one just before he passed, that's definitely the truth. I've seen pictures and videos of his other yachts', and they were no doubt dated, but it was the era as well.
Thanks for sharing. 4ever3 ❤
@@mikenonya6382 Very, very sad. A lot of die hard Earnhardt fans worked there.
That's why everyone loves Dale Jr.,because he's so down to earth and knows the value of a dollar and is a sensible young man,especially the older he gets.
He’s thrifty because he wasn’t spoiled growing up.
I love Dale Jr for this. Dude is worth hundreds of millions of dollars and still has the same mindset as me. Thanks Dale!
Nice to see someone with enough bucks to buy whatever he wants ,but sensible enough to say "Do we really need this at that price?" Love that attitude. He's not cheap, just frugal.
Buy it broke and fix it
he takes a private jet to dirt tracks lol
Have you been on a regular flight? I'd be taking a private jet if I could, too.@@chrismathewsjr
@@chrismathewsjr so would you, if possible
The funniest story I heard about Dale Sr. and the original Sunday Money came from a friend of mine, who has since passed away. He was the assistant boat captain on the yacht of a guy who at the time was the richest lawyer in the US. They are tied up at Chub Cay marina, with all the other big yachts, and they are using the crane to unload two motor scooters they had just bought for the boat. As they are setting the second scooter down, Dale Sr. walks up, in cut off jeans and a tee shirt and starts talking to them about the scooters and what a good idea to have them aboard. The boat captain, a guy named Rocky, obviously doesn't recognize Dale, Sr. Finally, Dale says, "Hey, would you mind if I took one for a test drive?" And, Rocky responds, "I guess. Are you a good driver?" And, Dale says, "Pretty good." At the point my friend could barely keep from laughing. So Rocky starts explaining the controls to Dale, still not knowing who he is, and Dale is soaking up the instruction like the professional driver he is. Finally, he drives off and Rocky turns to my friend and says, "He sounds like he knows what he's doing. I don't think he'll wreck it." My friend couldn't taken it any more and had to say, "You idiot, Rocky. That's Dale Earnhardt." And, Rocky responds, "Oh, okay. Where do you know him from?"
How could you possibly know who the richest lawyer in the country is? That is a statistic that is not possible to measure, at all...
@@NewAccount-lm2nz , Dickie Scruggs. Look him up.
@NewAccount-lm2nz , for some reason KZhead is censoring the answer. (I think it was because I used his nickname at first)
Richard Scruggs. Look him up.
The 2 happiest days of a boat owners life, the day they buy it and the day they sell it.
A boat is a hole in the water that you throw money into.
Boat = Bust out another thousand.
Best comment right here. Funny
Wow !! Never heard that before .
Truth
JR was smart enough to realize how easy it could be to fumble the bag. That is very admirable considering the unique circumstances he has been blessed with. Super cool dude.
Mitchell Stapelton with Satapelton Auto Works was looking at buying your Dads old bus, he also toured your old bus and bought Robbie Gordons old bus. You should sit down with him sometime, he has toured Robert G’s shop and has really helped bring old Nascar stories to life!
He will make it on here one day. He’s doing more now to get new eyes on the sport than any other creator I can think of.
@j.rowland3488 out of the groove and slapshoes are also good channels
Yes he needs to be on...
I would absolutely love to see Mitch on this show. He has the passion that these guys need on the show
Mitchell is awesome 😀
I think it was Stapleton42 that looked at Dale sr old motorhome. He's done a lot with old NASCAR drivers including Mark Martin, Lake Speed, Rusty Wallace just to name a few
I follow him he's the guy 😎
Way to go Mike... You got in the jab that the Boss IS A TIGHT WAD..!!! 😅. But that makes Jr the man he is.... Frugality is an honorable trait..!! Great show guys... as usual..!!!❤
Dale is so real, I love his podcasts.
Man imagine selling something online and have Dale Jr pull up too your house too buy it 😅
Not sure if I’d give him a discount or pick his pockets 🥴🤔. He can’t use the “I can only afford this much” card 😂
Id ask him if he'd autograph a few things and I'll come down on my price lol
@@Bable012 there’s that aspect also 🤔😂
Oh, the price just doubled. Lol jk. But that surely would be a thing. Glad i don't have that 'problem'.
@Stapleton42 did the video on Dale's motor home. Hobbies are fun and "stuff" is fun. Just remember though, you can't take it with you!
He absolutely did not let money change him… Dale Jr is an American Treasure
Used to see Sunday money docked out near Atlantic Beach back in the day. Looked so badass
Stapleton getting slight love on the show lol
I have the original blue print for Sunday Money and Dale signed it … rare piece
Now thats awesome!
Which Sunday Money boat? I remember the Hatteras sport fisher he had in 1994 being named Sunday Money with the checkered flag seating.
So happy you are carrying the EARNHARDT LEGACY WITH PURE CLASS SND WE'RE ALL GETTING TO KNOW YOUR DAD BETTER BECAUSE OF THESE PRECIOUS PRICELESS TREASURED STORIES THAT ARE BLESSINGS AND MEMORIES FOREVER!!! THANKS DALE AND MIKE FOR SHARING YOUR PRECIOUS DAD WITH US FANS THAT LOVE HIM( I'M OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER WATCHING RALPH RACE EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT AT THE OLD COLUMBIA SPEEDWAY IN CAYCE SOUTH CAROLINA. WAS THE BEEST DIRT TRACK AROUND AT the time. Love you ALL 💔🤗💔💕🙏🏻🙏🏻🙄🏁🏆🏁🙏🙏🙏🤣🤣🏁🏆🏁
MC Hammer - His horse trainer told me himself - " i tried to warn him - He said i'm good - next thing i know he's broke "
Dude I love these stories keep em coming! Your dad was a legend and so intriguing to hear about!!!
Dale and Amy recently had one of my daughters friend, who is a young photographer take family photos of their girls and Amy. Such a wholesome folk. It’s sweet.
Just remember Dale , Boat is acronym for Break Out Another Thousand.✌
LoL
Stapleton42 is the guy that looked at Sr's old motorhome. he wound up buying one that was an old robbie gordon one.
Car owner Felix Sabates was the big Nascar yacht guy and was a business partner of a friend of mine back in the 90’s. Unforgettable moment being Sabates guest and watching Felix flip a coin with his car owner buddy Jim Mattei just outside the Nascar trailer during red flag of which Sabates won the coin flip to see who was going to get they’re yacht built first by my buddy with Trinity Yachts. Needles to say my mind was blown having lived in a mobile home at the time.
What a cool story!
@@COCarDude Part 2 of that story was when Leonard Wood walks up at that same time wearing his Citgo uniform with radio headset, Jim Mattei says to Leonard I’ve got your driver next year who was Michael Waltrip since his driver Geoff Bodine was moving on.
John Dane lived in my hometown of Pass Christian, and I knew him when I lived there, and he knew me, but we were not good friends or anything. But, you never knew who was going to be with John when you ran into him. It could be a movie start, or some Middle Eastern prince, you just never knew.
@@ralphholiman7401 That is a fact, I John as well went to church together and have been in his home on a few occasions. Those guys John and Billy were very low doing big yacht deals with millionaires, you have to consider they worked with foreign oil tycoons were so wealthy they couldn’t give away money faster that they’re wealth accrued more wealth.
@@alanbranch851 "foreign oil tycoons were so wealthy they couldn’t give away money faster that they’re wealth accrued more wealth". I'd like to have this "problem" 😁🤣
“Broke” is the 30 for 30 doc Dale Jr was referring to about athletes going broke. Highly recommended
I have several good friends-all diesel mechanics-that spent a bunch of time in the engine room of Sunday Money and enjoyed Dale's visits.
Thanks for the stories Dale! Really enjoying your channel.
The one thing that is on the top of the long list of reasons why I respect Jr is his honesty. He is one of the few well known people who is not going to lie about his faults. He was like this on the racetrack also. If he knew that he caused a wreck, accidentally, he immediately apologized on the radio. During the years that I watched NASCAR every weekend, I think I could count on one hand the amount of other drivers who would do that. Jr is really a class act. This is one of the reasons he was voted the most popular driver for a record setting 15 years in a row (until he retired). Not the only reason, but he is respected!
Speaking of vehicles that Dale Sr owned, my brother-in-law is the current owner of the King Air that was Dale Sr’s. The planes current base of operations is a small county airport about an hour north of Knoxville TN. When my brother-in-law and sister purchased it, it still had the DEI logo painted on the tail. Dale Sr must have had some clout. The aircraft registration number ends with DE. I assume for Dale Earnhardt.
Custom tail numbers aren’t all that difficult to get. Bit like a custom license plate, you can apply for the number.
Yeah the tail number thing isn’t that hard. A local car dealer here named Billy Fuccillo use to always end his commercials saying “IT’S HUGE”. You could always tell when he was in town because the private jet terminal is right next to the road and you’d see his jet sitting there with the tail number ending HUGE😂
@@darrellgrant7615 Stop sneeking around Albany Airport! LOL
@darrellgrant7615 that dude was nuts 😂
Jr's jet he lost in the crash was N8JR
Love DJ to death. So humble, smart, focused, and blessed. Sr.'s spirit lives in him.
Sunday Money is here in Brunswick Georgia now. It did get some damage from being pushed against the concrete dock during hurricane Idalia a couple months ago. Ive been shown around on it and it still has a bunch of champagne and wine glasses with his name and car number etched into them and his special lounge chair is onboard too. Very nice boat. Ill be honest though, when it first showed up here a couple years ago i didn't know who's it was but i thought it was a big televangelists or preachers yacht based on the name 🤣
My dad was like Dale Sr. He doesn't have Earnhardt money, but he's doing OK. He doesn't like to spend money, but when he does he'll spend the money to get the best version of what he's buying. We had two boats while I was growing up. A 26ft Sea Ray cabin cruiser and later a 16ft Chris-Craft runabout. My most vivid memory of the Sea Ray was watching my dad wince every time he put gas in it! I know how much marine fuel was in the 80s, I'd hate to know how much it costs today!
The definition of boat is "A hole in the water you throw money into" 😅
Neil Peart wrote that owning a sailboat is like standing in the shower and tearing up hundred dollar bills
A friend i had here in Pensacola FL, used to be the first mate on the original Sundays Money that was the sport fishing boat in the keys. He has since passed but showed me pics of him, Dale Earnhardt and Richard Childress holding up Mahi they caught!! Cool stuff
I’m new to Dale Jr’ podcast and can’t get enough
Couple years ago I looked up the location of Sunday Money on some live boat GPS app. It was docked in Montauk NY , for the summer. 50 miles from my house. H Jumped in my truck and went for a ride. Was barely able to see where it said Sunday Money but I did see it. Awesome moment.
It's down in Brunswick GA right now. I follow it from time to time, same with Mr. H's "Wheels" and MJ"s "Joy".
That opening, we've all been there, but for most of us it's 17-20 foot bass boats. I grew up in the boat business, it's wild how much boats cost these days. The most expensive bass boat in 1990 was like $40,000 tops, with every option. I just went and found an old ad, couldn't find a bass boat, but 1998, Monark 22 foot Pontoon boat was $13,000!
Dale jr. Always enjoy your podcast go for it buy a boat buy a big boat ✌️🇺🇸
😂 i feel the same way, one of my biggest fears is being broke. Edit:😂 a boat is a hole in the water where you throw your money.
That Lady you have Dale IS WORTH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE AND MORE.... Don't go Cheap on her..!!!❤❤
Boats are great fun. Lots of great memories on Lake Wylie with my Dad, Cale Yarbrough and Buddy Baker.
Awesome! How was it hanging out with Cale my favorite driver of all time??
The fun you have entertaining friends is worth the money!
The fact they mention Stapleton is awesome
Lmao I was the same with our wedding. So many times I was going “are you out of your mind???”
Dale jr brother I'm proud of you man. Great thinking. Always careful with that money Brother. Like you never have it. Bless you man your Dad would be proud
Boating is just great memories with the family, wife and kids love it. You cant put a price on that! Time flies.....
The issue with boating is it starts out fairly expensive and gets ridiculous extremely quick. It doesn't help that it's really hard for guys to take their boats out and see people with "nicer" and more expensive stuff than they have and resist the urge to try and keep up images.
as a captain, holding 200 ton masters & 100 ton masters.......the acronym for boat has been the same, for the last 15 years i've been on the ocean: *B* ust *O* ut *A* nother (Hundred) *T* housand@@jamiemiller6156
Jr. Is the best!! The more he reveals the more ya like him!!
Enjoy your money bro! Love this topic. Just live and keep being a good man.
man @stapleton42 getting a shout out on the dale jr download for his video on Dales bus is great
Thanks for the video, I was lead pyro and yes Curtis was on my crew!
OMG , awesome man !!
I remember back in the day Sundays money and Richards boat being docked in Daytona great times for sure.
Loved going by the water during Daytona speedweeks and watching all of the drivers’ boats. I know Jeff Gordon always had his near where we would eat off Ponce Inlet.
Wish I'd known this at the time. Cool to hear. Thank you
@@NamathCB you kind of had to know the boats. They weren’t all together. It helped to know names. I don’t know if it still goes on with so many young drivers
24K
Dale parked his at the Charthouse during speedweek and my sister knew him well and Teresa and his Captain had the hots for her
Great video, I have not watched your channel in a while. I’m kinda in your same boat. Everyone thinking your riding your fathers coat tail but your Not! It keeps a strong man in of faith to keep weathering the storm. My brother and I took over the family business at the end of 2006. Father said you have $80,000 worth of bills due in thirty days, sink or swim! I paid my bills first and ate last. Charlotte was good to us in those hard times of 2008 and afterwards. Thankfully we don’t have to travel that far these days. Although my son does want to attend UTI in Charlotte. Maybe he will shine and get a job on the circuit. God Bless you!
Dale Jr’s spending habit is me 😂
Met you dad at little kitchen in Mooresville as well as a little kid at the parade of flags in Charlotte. Seen you at the Landing. Love the podcasts. Come see us on the north end of the lake. We don't care about celebrities. We love big boats and big block Chevrolets and having a few beers. You don't have to buy the boats, but we would love to drive ours and cook for you!!! Thanks Jim
A friend with a boat is better than a boat with a note 😊
I helped take care of Jeff Burtons Yellowfin here in Charleston, SC at Bohicket Marina. I remember him coming down with his boys and taking them out on the river. What a great segment. Thanks for the memories fellas!
Recently I had the opportunity to walk through the hauler your dad used when he passed at Daytona, friend of mine who bought it found flight itineraries and track information in some of the tool boxes.
I saw your dad on Sunday Money at Marsh Harbor. I think it was in the 90's. But I could be wrong.
Can you guys post the full video podcasts on here pleaseeeeee
Jr has millions stacked upon millions and will never go broke. His kids, kids, kids, kids will never have to work if managed correctly. But you can't take it with you Jr. Always remember that.
Garth Brooks said "i have so much money, no i have more money than my grand kids grand kids can spend”
That's what the ol'commodore Vanderbilt probably thought too.... He was wrong of course.
Dale seems like a genuine dude man !!
You know the old saying about a boat the happiest day in your life is when you buy it and when you sell it .
London Kentucky loves you guys
Had the pleasure of seeing the Sunday money in person under way in Virginia, it was beautiful
I worked at Hatteras yachts and was working on Dale's last Sunday money a 100 plus foot yacht and got to meet him in person for the first time and I was able to get an autograph and became a fan because at the time I was not because of his driving style.
Stapleton42 channel represents!!!
I've always been the same way. I'm pretty much cheap but will splurge on certain things. But it basically comes down to, I ain't paying more than I think something is worth. If the cost doesn't make sense, it doesn't matter how much money you have.
Its good to see ya doing well. I left nascar as a fan over the flag and that driver for petty. With you not driving it simply was no fun anymore. Was awesome to watch an listen to you. Take care sir an enjoy life.
Good to know there is exactly someone like me out there.
I saw it in Montauk a few years back loved that boat
I soo understand that.. just how guys are.. yet happy wife happy life..
Oh God, Dale, if you don’t like wasting money, you gotta be careful w/boats. Talk to someone that has something like what you want - every move you make with a boat costs way more than you think - and it is constant; you pay for a slip every month, have guys pull it out of the water for winter, winterize it, etc, etc. It’s like checks every month just to own it. A house boat has all the potential issues that a house has, a boat has, and a car has, all rolled into one, lol.
I remember Sunday Money being a 55’ Hatteras Sport fishing boat. It was parked across dock from us in the Bahamas in 1994.
the original. He was having a larger one built at the time of his passing.
i have an old wrangler poster from the 1982 Southern 500 that Dale Sr signed for me that day One of my most prized possessions
Sunday Money was a Hatteras built in my hometown of New Bern, NC.
Are you talking about the sport fishing boat? I remember a approx 55’ Hatteras that was a sport fishing boat that Dale owned back in 1994. He was docked across from us down in Treasure Cay once and that boat was an attention getter.
My dad was & still is my super hero, Iiss him everyday
miss mine too
Seems like Jr understands when it comes to finances. Don't think we will ever walk into a parts store and be waited on by Jr!😂
Living in Florida we knew where SR’s home was and Sunday Money was docked behind it along with Taylor’s Toy up on a lift. It became a ritual to go by and see the boats and they were there unused for a couple years. It was strangely sad the day we came by and they were gone.
Just saw the original Sunday Money go by in NSB on the ICW .My Dad chilled on that boat with Sr in the Abacos
i have a oooold picture of Sunday Money somewhere in the storage bins, i have a picture of Sr and Jr with eachother before the 01' 500 and lots more! should dig em up lol
The old saying..."B.O.A.T. means Bust Out Another Thousand."
Smart. The more possessions, the more they possess you of your time and your money in the end.
Stapleton42 is the mentioned KZhead channel
It’s amazing that a simple race car driving can earlier so much mulla . Insane.
That's what it is. He so frugal and good business wise. He could afford the boats.
Jr is right about boats. I used to calibrate and service the GRACO 2KS spray paint systems for boat companies. I’d flush and replace the Dose valves, integrators, static mixers, regulators, and calibrated the paint ratios and catalysts. Calibrate the static spray guns. I’d walk around and check out the boats being built and the quality-craftsmanship is just not there. Gaps in the joint fit up, off square, the carpet grain isn’t square. Trim to carpet rolls where the carpet was cut to short or too long. These are $60+ bass boats. Buy a boat that’s ready except for finishing the interior and complete the interior yourself. If you can read a measuring tape, use a square, straight edge, and hook blade for carpet. You’ll save yourself a lot of money and future problems.
Imagine being worth 500 million having money to buy whatever you want whenever you want and still looking at used boats
Yeah! I wanna be like him!
Smart man.
It’s not how much you make. It’s how much you save. Look at all those NFL and Prize fighters that made millions and are now broke. Poor money management skills. Don’t live above your means.
Weddings and Funerals. They got you coming and going.
This story is funny to me. Your boat “Loose Change” rarely went out and one time I did see it going out you were at a race.
I have a friend who played professional baseball for several years. Not a huge star, but a solid player. He had the good fortune of playing for the Texas Rangers for a couple years and having Nolan Ryan take him under his wing. He says Nolan saved him by showing him how to save and invest his money in real investments and not fly by night stuff. He also taught him how to think about money. So now he’s in his 40s, is comfortable, and baring a major economic catastrophe, doesn’t have to worry about his boys college etc. On the other hand, he has several stories of teammates who made a lot more money, but are beyond broke. **He says the number one rule is to find a good wife and keep her. He married his high school girlfriend and they are still together after a several decades. I’m not sure if you can count that as good advice or dumb luck.
Yeah divorce(s) will lose you a lot of money really fast
You tube has a video of Sunday Money. 5 years ago it was for sale after a refresh in 2012. Asking price was $4,200,000.
I used to work at Old Port cove remember it well
Sunday money is such a great name
That was cool.
I miss your dad he was my superhero man love his stories
I remember that yacht
I was on Sunday Money a couple years ago up in Montauk.
The other parameter he didnt mention is - when people find out 'its him' the price goes up 200%
Dale is just a good dude. Get that boat though!
