Two-Time IndyCar Champion Josef Newgarden's Unconventional Motorsports Journey (FULL INTERVIEW)

- Dale Earnhardt Jr brings two-time Indycar Champion Josef Newgarden to the studio for a conversation that turned out to be one of our favorites of the season. Why? Because the American open-wheeled racer is a dynamic personality in the sport on and off the track. Dale Jr. gets Josef to tell us about his forbidden desire to become a racer and how his first shot at racing came in sanctioned international scooter racing. From starting with scooters, how did a Nashville, Tenn.,-area native take a path through Europe to end up an IndyCar driver? It's a story that doesn't make much sense to some but is certainly intriguing.
Newgarden credits his father's influence, belief, and sometimes "hands-off" approach to making him into the racer he is. Oh, plus he played a role in introducing Josef to a Disney princess, who then became his wife. Oh yeah, it's that interesting of a story!
He talks about a Team USA racing scholarship that paved the way to success overseas. However, that success was met with challenges and at one point depression admits Newgarden before coming back to the states at the low point of his career. Then the opportunity of a lifetime presented itself and the determined young racer seized it. Fast forward a few years and he's a two-time IndyCar Champion racing for one of the biggest teams in the sport, Penske Racing. Newgarden opens up about the turning points that happened in this incredible journey.
Newgarden and Dale Jr. go over the new street circuit in the downtown streets of Nashville and the excitement building up to the Nashville Grand Prix. How will the surface, layout, and the big bridge over the river affect the event? Will a diving team be on hand?
The 30-year old driver talks about how one of his favorite drivers, 7-time NASCAR Champion Jimmie Johnson, has transitioned to the IndyCar ranks and what challenges he has faced in the process. That and so much more in this dynamic interview between a stock car racer and IndyCar driver. - Zábava
Damn it, now I'm a Newgarden fan. I'm a fan of, like, 80% of the Indycar field..... I love it when these drivers come on here with Junior and we finally get to really see their personality. Josef seems like a great guy.
You get to see Joseph's personality every single time he is on camera, FACT!! The fella is super kool and down to earth/genuine
Yep! New fan here too.
Josef has been that dude ever since he chose to drive his rookie year with Sarah Fisher.
If you want to see Josef’s personality, watch the Penske Games on CZcams - silly games with all of the Penske drivers, except last year was the last of them. I like a driver with personality and realism and he fits both.
Nice, we getting full episodes here now? That's great for us who's live outside of the US.
Absolutely Rafael! I’m just outside Sydney Australia
@@miltonjoyner4201 Especially since Sling is not recording most of the episodes for me
I’m not outside the US but so glad this full episode is available here now.
Definitely, I live in southern ontario only a 2 hour drive from Michigan international and i only get bits and pieces of episodes 2 or 3 at most and I'm lucky if i get 30 mins total
@@BurnNotice2023 qqqq
I love that we get his podcast on CZcams. Jr is really a natural at TV. And his podcast means he is a natural on radio, podcasts, etc.
Awesome... How do you ķeep rocking these people's stories... Dale come on dude it's just ping pong.... I bet you get into and enjoy the moments of playing a game.
Wish he would put his full show on CZcams like this all the time in stead of snippets and asking at the end "if you enjoyed this please go to other platforms for the full show"
I love an unexpected surprise. This interview may possibly be be one of my personal favorites that I’ve listened to. Great insight, fun, educational and funny all in one and the best part is that it was completely unexpected. Josef represented himself, and all forms of racing exceptionally well. Well done by all involved. Interviews like this is what brings new fans to another series.
I completely agree! Now i want to watch him race and Im looking forward to Nashville!
Excellent Analogy, what a class act Newgarden is!
@@jayaudette2063 I agree. He really is!
You stated my sentiments to a tee. Almost made a scene at work, listening to the podcast when he was introduced.
I would love to be " Dale Jr for a day"!
I adore Josef. He is such an inspiration and a talent and such an incredible interview.
And now a winner of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race!
Just spent 1 hour and a half enjoying myself…listening to his story…now I know who I’m going to pull for in the series…my son is big into the Indy cars…so now I can follow and have a driver to pull for…besides you know 7 time lol
Wow this was a really great podcast..Josef is so humble and cool !!
As an English man listening to this, it has made my day! I had no idea Dale watched British touring car racing, or loved our Brands Hatch road course (Ive been there many times) And as for Mr Newgarden, he has just got a new fan! What a great guy, brilliant podcast! Dale please get some or a F1 driver on your show please, especially Lewis Hamilton!
There’s a big British touring car following down south. It’s what nascar used to be, on road courses.
Honestly ricardio would make more sense since he drivers number 3 because of sr
Ricciardo or Perez before Hamilton. Hamilton is such a clown act.
@@waltersobchak8080 Riccardo, Perez, what have they done or achieved? That's the equivalent of having Corey lajoie and Cole Custer on a British BBC show!!!
@@abritandhisbikeinpoland6802 I think they are better ambassador's to the sport for an American audience (i.e. they come across more authentically). Never said they were more accomplished. BTW, I think BBC fans would still enjoy the insight of a mid-field driver. Hell, that's where all the F1 entertainment is most races (with the exception of the last couple races this season).
Finally!!!!! A full episode here on CZcams!!!! Thanks guyz!!!!
Wow what an amazing interview with newgarden! The personal story about meeting his wife, priceless! Met Newgarden once an wished him luck at St. Pete grand prix! Been at St Pete Grand Prix for last 7 years!
i am now officially a Josef Newgarden fan!
I already am.
Me too
Huge IndyCar fan here! How is it that the IndyCar series not promoted Josef and his great story more is a mystery.
Junior, what a great interview - you clearly have a talent for bringing out the best in an interviewee. Well done.
He’s only a 2 time champion and has won 23% of all the races he had for Team Penske in his first four years (and on track to match that again this year). Why the heck would IndyCar promote him?? /s
I became a fan of his when I saw him win his first race at Barber, where he found a way to pass in the final corners that no one else could do. I can’t tell you how irksome it is that he gets so little attention compared to likes of Rossi and Herta. The last 4 champions have been Newgarden, Dixon, Newgarden, Dixon, and had there been one more race last year I’m convinced Josef could’ve taken it. Yet it seems like the media always treat him either as a new guy with potential or a journeyman driver, as opposed to treating him like the generational talent he is.
I’ll get off my soapbox now, but mark my words: Josef will be recognized as one of the IndyCar greats if he doesn’t jump ship to F1 or something like that.
I love the way he describes Will Power. Much like Dale Sr. So competitive and passionate on the track, but off the track? One of the best and most compassionate people you could ever meet.
I'm 48 seconds in and I already know I am going to love this format!
Thank you for putting out the full video. I hope there's many more to come. It's way better when you can see the interaction between all of you.
I absolutely loved this interview. I am so glad the whole roll was played. Love Jr and root for Newgarden in Indy. Always been a fan of nascar but Josef is kicking it in Indy. Also how cool he was in same grade as Josh who is another I'm rootin for. Great job 👏👍
Omg I hope you guys keep releasing full episodes
This guy is cool asf! Everything just aligned up perfectly for him.
FINALLY DOING THIS
THANK YOU GUYS
Thank you for FINALLY putting a full interview on CZcams. Guessing it's only because of the Olympic coverage, but PLEASE continue this in the future. The show leaves out too much and there's something about seeing the faces and reactions vs listening on the podcast. Keep up the good work Jr, Mike, Dilner and Leah
Exactly. Body language is everything.
My new favorite Indy car driver with a great Dad.
Agreed
I think this is the most "star struck" ive ever seen Jr. He seemed so excited to see Josef and even got out of the the chair to shake his hand
Totally agree… that was fun to watch.
Thanks for the full episode!! Maybe more in the future? 😁
Yes! Love these, you need to put more full interviews on here!
Wow. What a pleasure it was to watch this interview learning about Dales other passions and Josef's life experiences from the beginning and into his professional racing career.
Josef has a new fan. What a great interview!!!
Dale Jr is the best long interviewer out there - because he is so sincere, he is able to bring out the great stories and truth, from his 'interviewees'. Love these! Terrific interview!!
I listened to the podcast first but had to show wife and daughters how he met Princess Ariel 🤣. His story telling is impeccable.
This was just GREAT. I can't remember when I've enjoyed watching more.
Let’s go!! Finally full video!!
Yes, full episodes! :)
This was one of the best podcasts yet. Amazing insight into the sport of auto racing. Great job Dale and Mike.🏁🏁🏁
Absolutely love the full episodes on here! Listening to the podcast is great but you can't beat hearing AND seeing the guests. Adds a whole new side to an already awesome show. Thanks!!
Thank you so much for putting this whole thing on CZcams! You guys have proven yet again how legendary y’all are.
Love the full-length video and as always Jr. And your team opening my eyes as well as others to a wide range of athletes . So great job to you guys and thanks to Newgarden for being a bad ass starting out racing a damn scooter to a 2 time Indy car champ.. showing that you literally can accomplish ANYTHING if you have the drive and the passion... definitely gained a new fan Bud !
Amazing fucking interview! That might be the best yet. Growing up going to MIS, I’ve attended several open wheel races. I hope it makes a comeback.
Dude, Open wheel is back. Check those ratings. The car count on road courses next year will be approaching 30. Jump on the train!
@@shredofmalarchi I was 50 yards away from the fatalities at the US 500 in 1998. I can still see the ambulance under the bleachers and the tarp thrown across top of the carnage. I haven’t revisited since. That was a dark day.
IndyCar just had the highest cable rating in 28 years. It's back!
Josef Newgarden is a kickass person with humility and an awesome driver. I can't wait to see his future, and his past is already awesome. Go Josef!!!!
Cole Trickle: "ESPN. The coverage is excellent, you'd be surprised at how much you can pick up." Haha.
I always wondered why they picked Cole Trickle as the name for that character. Maybe Jr. Knows that story... I'd love to hear it if he does.
This was my second favorite podcast. John Force #1
I was rolling around on the floor just listening to the Podcast. To actually see it, would be amazing.
Because of Josef will start watching Indy car again. Excellent podcast Jr!
Thanks to all. A very special interview.
Always a great podcast when you have Indycar drivers on, and this was no different. Thoroughly enjoyed learning more about Josef and cant wait for you to have him back.
Dale is such a humble, genuine dude. You'd never know he was a loaded, HOF driver, and the son & namesake of a legend. His father would be so proud of the man he became.
That was one of your best interviews I have seen! Awesome job Dale and Mike! And thank you Josef for snd entertaining and insightful conversation!!!
I had never heard of this guy before today, and by the end of the podcast I was a fan. Dale, Mike, and the rest of the team conduct the best interviews, and really make their guests shine. Always a fun time.
This was a great interview! Anybody else think Josef sounds a bit like Steve Letarte?
I kinda see it.
now that you mention it...
Agree 💯
He damn sure does!
Yes he has a voice similar to Steve Letarte.
Best interview! Enjoy these days, great racing in F1, NASCAR and IndyCar! Thank you Dale, my daughter and I cheer Josef on every race! God Bless!
My favorite IRL driver interviewed by my favorite NASCAR personality.. Great representative of the sport. Articulate, funny, personable and an incredibly talented driver.
Josef has never raced in the IRL. His rookie year was 2012.
@@Posirep I am old. Still call it Winston Cup sometimes.
It's IndyCar man. It's like me calling nascar the grand national series.
@@shredofmalarchi still call it tin foil as well. Pretty sure everyone knew what I meant. My apologies for the insult.
Nah don't worry, if is IRL or IndyCar, the important thing is your support and that counts, I'm fan of Josef too. By the way Holland the country says they change their name to The Netherlands, HELL NO! for me will be always Holland.
What an excellent guest and interview! Best Dale Jr. guest EVER! It was awesome seeing the NASCAR and Indy worlds come together. That 1.5 hours FLEW by! GREAT show, everyone!
Great to hear Josef's Story and thank you, Dale for having him on!!!!!
I just watched this interview. It was great. It was so good to hear this with no cursing. He seems like such a nice guy and nice to look at too🙂
Loved this episode! Josef was exceptional. Thanks Dale for another great Indycar Interview
Josef Newgarden is an amazing young talent... I am more impressed that he is a humble... grateful young man... he gets that a hundred bucks is a hundred bucks. So many people today at least in racing are wealthy... and the fans are not most likely... it brings a tear to my eye when the "stars" of the sport get it! Thank you Josef for being a great racer but more importantly a good person.
Great interview Guys hope you get Josef back for part 2 CHEERS from Australia
Wow, that was good. I am a full on Josef Newgarden fan now. Good job Jr! This was very well done and I can see the effort that you put into your podcast.
Every time I watch this show I say it is the best one ever, and I say it again today.
Great to see the whole interview. Jr is a natural interviewer. Love the podcasts.
Like that Cale Yarborough driver's suit over on the wall behind Mike.
Finally Dale. Been asking for at least a year. Please continue! What blessing. All of the Dirty Mo Podcasts should be aired in their entirety on the CZcams
Great job JR and Mike. Really showcased Joseph Newgarden. Always been a fan of his and this give more reasons other than his driving abilities and Penskie to like, and root for him. Didn't know alot about his background, but he is a very rounded driver. I now see why the Captain wanted him in his car and honestly cares for Joseph and his future. Well done guys....
Loved the interview. I hope you get more IndyCar guys on the show. I’d like to hear the perspective of a non-American driver running in IndyCar.
This was one of the best interviews ever!
I’ve always like Newgarden, but now l like him even more
And now… the guy finally has the crown jewel! Immortalized forever in silver on the Borg-Warner! Gotta get him back ASAP!
Let’s GO 2 crew!
What a great interview. Jr was having the time of his life and so was Josef. Then the way he met his princess. Doesn't get any better.
What an absolutely entertaining interview. Great job by all!
loved this talk. Hope the Nashville race delivers in every possible way!
1:20:34 Finally.... the best part of the interview. A Prince meets his Princess. 🤴🏰👸
Unusual for Dale Jr to air the entire interview on CZcams especially with an IndyCar driver
No TV broadcast because of the Olympics.
Hopefully yall add a few more!
Hope you do it every day please keep them coming
Well damn! I was hoping it was because I asked for it last week! Haha
So it is a one off?
Thanks for airing the full podcast on CZcams, hopefully it continues.
After this interview, I am now a Josef Newgarden fan. Great interview Dale!
Awesome interview, I love the momentum of IndyCar at this time. Motorsports is in good hands. Way to go Dale jr., you're the best!
That was Awesome!!! My favorite NASCAR driver interviews my favorite Indy Car driver. Josef is a class act. Don't think it was mentioned that Josef has won 2 Indy Car Championships
Fantastic podcast, thanks for including the entire podcast on CZcams!!!
I'm watching this for the 3rd time in the first 2 days since it came out. There's just something about Dale Jr. and Newgarden talking. I guess they both have that intangible "It" factor. To be fair, I think that Mike has it as well. Just a great interview all the way around. Wishing continued success to Josef - what a great guy!
So glad you guys put the entire interview on here hope you guys do this going forward so much better
Loved watching the entire interview and not just a clip!! Keep'em coming!! Awesome job!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🏁🏁
Best interview yet! Looking forward to part 2!
One of the BEST yet. Great show!!
Can not wait for a part 2. I have had the honor of racing him virtually during lockdown in 2020 and he is one of the most chill guys ever.
Best of luck in Nashville Josef!
Absolutely enjoyed getting to know Joseph ,such great stories❣❤❤❤🥰
Dude definitely has a career in broadcasting once his career is over. He's the one I always look for in the standings cause I'm rooting for him. Likeable guy for sure
I'm a big race fan, but even outside of racing, this was simply one of the best interviews I have ever seen/watched. Kudos to all involved. Thank you.
I really like this guy. Great personality. I wish him the best and plan to start following him.
PLEASE!! Keep doing full episodes on youtube this is awesome!
Wow! That was a fantastic interview! From now on, I will be rooting for Josef! 🏁👍🏼 My son started racing karts when he was 7. He is almost 21 now. Always a Father/Son team, no sponsors. Unfortunately, my work schedule did not allow us to travel to very many ‘big’ races, but we still had, and have, fun racing together! 😁
Amazing interview, all the similarities in your experiences, the confidence factor. Thanks for sharing the whole thing.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY!!! I really enjoyed sitting down for an uninterrupted 1.5hrs with no commercials, real organic conversation, and I got to see all of it! Radio is nice and has its place and yiu can get a sense of inflection, but I enjoy facial expressions. Adds depth right? Maybe? Please incorporate this long format/full interview as a regular feature for all DirtyMo Media content 🙏🙏🙏Thise guys are awesome too. Love tje spotters/different perspectives
Really enjoyed the interview Josef to hear ur story was amazing & your Dad sounds like amazing guy as well. My son chase is in Formula 4 now and wants to be driving in Indycar in the future.
I think this is one of my favorites! Great interview.
One of the very best podcasts to date. Thank you Dale, Mike and Josef. I’ve always liked Indy Car.
Maybe the best driver interview I have ever seen. Both by the host and the one interviewed.
What an INCREDIBLE interview!! Josef was awesome. So many interesting stories!!!!
Outstanding podcast!!!! My favorite!!!
I love that you have the whole interview on You tube. No editing. Excellent !!!
Without a doubt, the most interesting and incredible show you have ever done. I am now a huge Josef fan, what a very cool, articulate and interesting man. I wish him all the success in the world!!
Love Josef’s stories! Great interview. I’m a fan
Now I have someone to root for in Indycar.
What a great interview!! So great to get to know him!!
So so glad for the full episode. I listen to the podcast first but then like to watch clips to see facial expressions/body language. This full episode is much more preferred than clips. I hope it isn’t the last full one we get. I’m going to watch whatever y’all put out anyway. Love this podcast! Josef was a great guest. Definitely need at least a second visit if not more. Thanks again for continually producing great content.
