If asked, any person, about what their reaction would be if an outsider intrude into their personal spaces of their home, the answer is fairly predictable. They will hate it, without any single drop of doubt. Drawing the same reference, how would a driver in NASCAR react when their personal space is meddled with? The reaction is already given.

Talking about personal space and maintaining the sanctity of those spaces is important in multiple stages. And in contemporary times, the drivers have spoken up about the intrusion of those spaces of NASCAR. One such space being the team radios that forge a connection between the drivers and their respective teams. But more often than not, these conversations become the topic of hot debate, and sometimes a source of entertainment.

However, the recent incident at the All-Stars-Race at North Wilkesboro is surely grabbing the attention and forcing people to think otherwise, especially Dale Earnhardt Jr. 

Dale Earnhardt Jr Shows His Displeasure With the Easy Access to the Team Radios

Although the race at North Wilkesboro Speedway, finished on a good note, without any major issues on the track, one incident that has captivated the attention of the whole of NASCAR was Bubba Wallace being subjected to derogatory remarks. The team heard the message on the team radio, “Go back to where you came from you a******. You’re not wanted in NASCAR.” This was after someone had infiltrated the #23 team’s radio.  

This incident has enraged the fans of NASCAR, while also leading the governing body to launch a full-fledged investigation in order to find the guilty party. 

This incident led the co-owner of JR Motorsports to also reveal his stance on the incident. While conversing with his co-host Mike Davis, the veteran driver gave an overview of the race, “Bubba Wallace, he had just finished second. He‘s proud of it, of course, everybody didn’t like getting their b*tt kicked by Kyle Larson and Bubba flips the bird to the TV screen, during his interview. I suppose I didn’t see it, but I saw it on social media, apparently.”

He also stated, “Some fans had gotten on his radio at the end of the race. And we’re raising hell and seeing it’s pretty bad s***. And so I thought that was bad and I remember back in the day, people we used to on our radios and say some pretty stupid things.”

However, Junior also considered the fact, “But I’ve always felt like, that we…this isn’t going to be popular among our fans because they love the access. But when I started driving race cars our radio frequency was a, it was a private conversation. There weren’t scanners. Fans in the stands might have… there might have been a few fans that understood the technology enough to be able to have a scanner in their hand, but there were so few. The conversation on the radio was you and the team.” 

“You said anything you wanted, and you didn’t have to be secret about your decisions. Open communication, everything was you know talked about, whatever was going on. And I was in. I was around the sport for long enough to where it completely developed from that. Which I know that’s probably hard for the people to write their brains around.” 

Nevertheless, the veteran also heaved his displeasure. “When I was a rookie, when I was racing in the Xfinity series, not many people were listening to your radio. And then scanners became more popular, then you could rent a scanner.”

While these radio conversations are readily available on the internet for entertainment purposes, sometimes these conversations often reveal the untold side of our favorite drivers with all the curse words that are blurted out by the drivers during their frustrated times. Not to forget, publically publishing it can raise untoward situations. And the two-time Daytona 500 winner certainly does not endorse this fact.

Dale Jr, also exclaimed, “And now they basically just handing out scanners and they’re emailing you every driver’s radio frequency and it’s basically just a frequency. Just a free-for-all, that’s what it is. Kind of transactions to it and I have never loved it because I cussed a lot. I had an embarrassing moment on the radio, fighting with Tony Jr. That we’re public fodder and even going on broadcast driving the races right.” 

To this, his co-host Mike Davis also added, “They were in the marketing campaigns, your stuff.”

However, the 2x Xfinity Series champion also disclosed the fact, “So I had to change. I had to start minimizing what I would say and think about knowing that it would be used against me in some way.”
