After watching this guy answer Dales questions, I believe everything Mayfield and Spencer said about him. you can tell this guy is a weasle.
the Mayfield affair was a crutch to cover up his own messy issues on addiction/substance abuse/alcoholism!
And cover over how CONTROLLING Brian tried to be over ANYONE interested in his ex wife! Domestic issues are DIFFICULT for many of us…. I am sure BRIAN learned & is even a better man now… I hope the sane is true for Jeremy & Brian’s Ex.
Amen. You could tell Jr and Mike wanted to tell him to answer the fkn questions
@@irongoatrocky2343 prove your accusations...
@@W4114C3 Brian is that you???🤣
Whether you like Brian or not, it's undeniable he's a huge sleezeball.
I was thinking of an adjective that ended in _____'bag'.
Kind of guy where you shake his hand and you better count the rings on your fingers.
😂
He’s just greasy looking
@@happyjohn8256 Nothing. He's already said enough. Many opinions validated.
Brian is a shining example of what happens when a rich kid who has never had to work for anything in his life is handed the keys to a huge business. Tanks NASCAR popularity, makes wild changes, gets busted for DUI, take absolutely zero responsibility and plays it all off as "part of life".
And He RAIL ROADED MAYFIELD because Jeremy DATED Brian Boyz EX WIFE!
Notice when talking about HIS DUI, he says “It happened” never says “I did it” pretty clear refusal to accept responsibility for his actions. And when talking about the current state of NASCAR he tries to spin it as something positive that he did, again never accepts any responsibility for the decline in popularity.
Tony George from IRL/Indycar is a saint compared to him looking at things now.
Credit to Brian for doing the interview, no credit for actually being accountable and answering the questions truthfully.
Well said. 100%.
I didn't believe a thing that Jeremy Mayfield said about Brian France until I saw Brian being interviewed here and realized that he doesn't operate in any form of reality or take any level of accountability for his actions whatsoever. Regardless if it's about the sport, or his personal life.
B-I-N-G-O!
It's not about me it's about making other people successful then I will be successful. Brian gave the word and I heard it.
Talks like a politician
In summary: “I suffered no consequences, things have really worked out for me”
🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣
No different than any other rich person.
No matter what u think of Brian France, you have to give him credit for being true to his character……his character being of a completely sleezeball.
He certainly didn’t break character here did he 😂🤔. Stayed true to his pathetic self
I pray for BRIAN… he obviously is not ADMITTING & OWNING his failures, addiction, and still trying to MOVE ON WHILE IN OBVIOUS DENIAL to all the public
@@stephengreen2898 the sad part about him being in denial means he is probably still using drugs and abusing alcohol. He looks like and sounds like he’s on some sort of oxy in these podcast videos. Wouldn’t be surprised if someday he shows up in the news as having “died unexpectedly” or crashed into another tree but didn’t walk away this time. He’s been well known for driving around trashed for years and basically every time he was caught in Daytona the police there covered it up for him because let’s face it Daytona FL is only what it is because of the France family and is a mega cash cow for the city
@@tritontransport no doubt. He's sweating through the entire interview like he's doing cardio
Can this guy give a single straight answer to anything? He sugarcoats everything he says even when he's no longer in power and really has nothing to lose. He could just be honest about his choices and decisions and possibly gain back a lot more respect
His family still owns NASCAR. So he has to be careful what he says.
@@MrJking065 him dodging questions and sugarcoating doesn't make him or the sport look any better
@@Twinspinner That's not the point.
@@TwinspinnerNo, but he still has to be careful what he says. There was a legal case at some point.
@@bassrob88He is a reason fans lost some faith in NASCAR honestly.
Looking at his eyes and hearing his answers, he still has addiction issues.
Yup agree
For sure.
red in the face...
@@coreytyler6066 was just about to say this. This is a alcohol abuse dead give away
Mr France always will have Substance Abuse Issues.......
He will always be in denial about why he has them, let alone what it takes to move on from them!
I was willing to cut him some slack until Junior asked him what he did to turn his life around and he didn’t even TRY to say something politically correct. No re-evaluating his life, no getting clean, no going to rehab, no apologies, NOTHING. That was a softball for a “talking point” and he didn’t even do that.
I honestly kinda wonder if he was under the influence of something during the interview
The health thing was maybe as honest as you will get. And I guess he could have meant mental health. I don’t need details about everything, but he could have done less copy pasta.
My thoughts exactly. The color in his face screams alcoholic.
@ Tim mummert,,,,,,, also the way he blinks his eyes slow screams opioids.
This guy should run for office, he’d fit in perfectly in DC as a revisionist, regardless of which side of the isle you’re on
Yes indeed,,,he can really blow some smoke,,,he did learn that in collage!
No. Let’s not give him ideas
lets not forget ,,, he's a big "Right Winger" that received millions of Dollars,
OUR MONEY !!) for NASCAR AFTER THE 2008 WALL ST. CRASH ,
@@jstrawser I think that alone definitely makes him a strong candidate for gross POS of the decade. What I don’t understand is who in their right mind would want to do business with this Liver Destroyer?
This man takes no accountability.
What turned your life around? Uuuhhhh my life is pretty great. Good Grief
Hes really an entitled shithead. And the railroading of jeany mayfeild is really a character flaw. He seems to think his title gets him to bully people
Brian who cares what you got? Its not about you! You avoid the questions
Mamma always said, if you can't say anything nice... Through this journey with Brian, I've been trying to find something nice to say. I'm glad he's happy not being the CEO anymore. That's it. That's all I've got.
@ Karl Lambert, Well said sir!!
Good job my friend!
Dale asked him some great questions and he just wouldn't take ownership or seem accountable.
Dale does that with so many of his guests. Most open themselves up at least somewhat and you come away understanding and appreciating them more than you did before. Didn't work this time.
"no biggie; just driving drunk . . .life moves on" what a horrible human
What else should he say on this platform? He said it should never happen. Yet it did. Can't change it. What do you want him to do? Cry? Go on a 10 minute speech convincing people to not drive drunk?
@@BornIn1500 Yes. In addition to doing some public groveling and begging for forgiveness.
@@BornIn1500 driving drunk??? He was on oxy’s and thats not something you just take occasionally. There’s a much bigger story he could of explained but didn’t mention anything about it.
@@BornIn1500 yes . . .obviously; why we here in NYC bring all high school students to the field and show them crumpled remain of cars in fatal accidents (Police and Firefighter bring the car) due to drinking (or any drugs) and driving. Mr. France was too blasé.
He was intoxicated on alcohol and oxycontin.
The same dude that went after Jeremy Mayfield with a vengeance
Dale was trying to give him a way to repent in a meaningful way and without maybe exposing himself too much legally, but it seems he did not see it that way.
Well said!! 👍👍
I agree with you and the dumb ass failed to take advantage of it let alone even see it dangling in front of him.
Millionaire problems just ain’t the same as the rest of us. I mean that “bad day” would land many in jail and destroy their lives. Didn’t have any affect on his, maybe made it better……….
Dale really knows how to talk to this guy honestly. Notice he says how did this effect you? And he immediately says YEAH! 😂
8 minutes of this guy was enough for me to get the vibe that he'd be everything I'd hate in a boss.
Brian France is not an honest person. Dale tried. Brian wasn’t gonna open up and be honest.
I was so hopeful but fully expected this kind of interview. SMH
He gave the most political answers that anyone could come up with
He made it sound like it was a great thing. A stepping stone to improving an already great life. Very first step in recovery is to admit there is a problem. He's still not seeing it as a problem and actually is claiming it as a great benefit to himself.
You can just look at him and tell he's a heavy drinker. May not be popping Vicodin anymore but def still downing the scotch and bourbon
politically correct
He's trying to dodge the question again.
When he didn’t even realize the date Dale asked him about, shows how oblivious this guy is to life. This was 8 minutes of him giving wishy washy answers, rambling on and on, and how awesome his life is even after getting DUI.
So you think that someone that gets a DUI should have to forfeit the rest of their life and live in the gutter? It’s a really dumb thing that thousands (hell probably millions) of people do everyday. I’m extremely fortunate that I never got picked up in my younger years, but I don’t think I’m some horrible human being because I had some drinks and drove home. People make mistakes, and they pay for them, this dude included, but I don’t think differently about him because he made some changes in nascar that I hated.
@@toddschlicher wow you completely missed this guys point and went on a totally unrelated useless tangent
@@1234KeithB So true! Great comeback.
As someone who has lost a loved one to a drunk driver .. I found the lack of contrition appalling .. "so it happened and life moves on" .. yeah Brian .. not for everyone. Kudos to Jr. .. for givin' Brian the OPPORTUNITY to express remorse .. anyway.
I'm sorry for your loss. Terrible thing for anyone to go through.
He lacks any form of empathy for anyone outside of his own mirror.
As a person that got caught driving drunk without hurting anyone, I felt like I hit the lottery. In my case it was enough to wake me up and change my ways. Life-changing doesn't do it justice. I was handed the opportunity to change my life with only a fine, community service, and a night in jail as negatives so I took it and made better decisions since then. I regret ever driving drunk, but I don't regret getting pulled over that night.
So sorry for your loss.
“I have had a very fortunate life so I suffer no consequences for my actions, it was a good thing I stepped down from Nascar so I can make even more money” is basically what I got from this
I'm glad highlights are posted because i dont think i could listen to the entire podcast of him dancing around every answer and word vomiting something that sounds nice while still sounding high.
Yeah, he talks a lot and doesn't say much.
He sure down played that and skirted the questions lol
I gave this segment a second listen. Still an disingenuous person. Nothing but political speech.
Same and same conclusion. Nothing but the boilerplate responses. Never answered anything directly either.
Same and same here, as well.
Crazy isn’t it? The guy was high on oxy’s and says it was "just a bad day" 😂. You don’t take that stuff on occasion, he was a pill head and didn’t mention anything about it…
Agreed
@@SosopChabot right?! I had a "bad day" for 5,478 days lmao
Ive watched all of these Brian France videos and still don't know if I understand him any better
He doesn't understand himself....it's the problem.
He is a third generation rich kid, but he also did more work probably than most guys would have done in his position. Could my be easy being the son and grandson of such strong personalities.
Brian wears me out to have to listen to him always has always will
God I can’t believe he did this interview and Dale did such a great job.
Dale did not run him down.....
He just asked the point-yet questions and let Mr France either bury or redeem his self!
Once big bill left it ain't been the same
Don’t forget Little Bill (France Jr)
Little Bill was pretty damn good in his own right…
@@rcr-zt4of even though he has flaws, including removing North Wilksboro from the schedule
@@MegaMr46 At the time North Wilkesboro did not fit the growth of NASCAR. Enoch Staley was known to be reluctant to upgrades to the speedway and that is in part of what did them in at that time. Plus he never owned North Wilkesboro. The two dates were split between the Bahre family and SMI.
Brian should go into politics, he’s amazing at question avoidance 😂
This is your best work yet on the download. Brian is polarizing, but human. You asked the hard stuff but were gracious.
Interesting how he crashed and burned after what he did to Mayfield.
Karma.
It amazes me that so many of you think that Mayfield was innocent. The dude was on drugs, and hanging around some shady characters. What happened to Mayfield wasn’t because of this guy or anyone at nascar, it was because of his actions. It’s funny that a lot of you believed every word out of Mayfields mouth, but not a word this guy says, because you don’t like some changes he made in nascar.
@@toddschlicherno he was not on drugs ever.. Mayfield like lot of other drivers liked to drink Beer that was it..
Fans DO NOT HAVE FACTS about WHY BRIAN went after MAYFIELD, but NASCAR insiders know… And THEY WILL NEVER TELL…. This is like TIM RICHMOND and his having AIDS!
HE WASN’T READY! For the DMM. The “What was the first thing you changed in your life?” IMO was dodged completely.
Dale is a great broadcaster in this format. Has cred. Straight shooter let's his guests talk.
Jr has his own demons/issues (we all do!) but not to the extent that Mr France does
Jr has found a way and the support structure to deal with them,
Mr France on the other hand is nowhere close to that!
Good job DALE! You have credibility and I know you WISH BRIAN a full recovery and provided the opportunity for him to COME CLEAN with Fans everywhere…. And BRIAN is not ready! He must think he can still CON, DENY, DISTRACT, BULLY, TALK CONSTANTLY avoiding NAMING his demons…. Says “YOU” instead of “I” … “IT” instead of NOUNS naming the thing! HE NEEDS REHAB FOR LONGER THAN A YEAR IN LOCK UP, probably… He is CURSED with $$$$ and ENABLERS! He may never RECOVER, but by God’s grace HE CAN… STICK BY HIM, Dale, IF HE WILL LET YOU…. People like you are probably the only ones who can get through to him.
Is it me or is that the biggest roundabout answer I've ever heard
"How did you turn you life around?"
"I'm really rich so I didn't have to"
LOL, this guy. The epitome of absentee c-suite executive.
Had an opportunity to come clean and be a a man. Was looking for words like “ashamed, devastated, heart wrenching, life changing, etc. Sounds like a politician.
Totally agree.
He could have detailed that he has a wife and family he loves and would not trade them fire the world and that would be better than saying we just need to move forward. I think Brian does not get that the fans did care enough to put some faith in him as the CEO.
@@ethanweeter2732 Right…He basically said he was rich before the DWI and still rich afterwards so all is good. Sad
Never lets his guard down, you can never reach the real human behind the facade
That is a problem. It would have to be bad for his family. Any wife or close loved one would have to be frustrated by that personality.
Maybe there isn't anything beyond the facade. Just a shell of a human being.
That is really bad for nascar. It sucks more after this interview
THIS INTERVIEW is GREAT to help BRIAN see that HE CANNOT CON the Public or NASCAR professionals ANY MORE… And he is so RICH he will never have to sober up & be real…. He can live HIGH on the RICH BOYZ HOG till he dies!
This guy makes getting a DUI a way to move ahead
He almost took Nascar down with him.
You’re wasting your time, Junior. You’ll never get a straight answer out of him.
This is the guy who caused NASCAR to collapse in the late 2000s
😭😭 only words coming out his mouth he gave no answer he don’t care 😂 all he was saying “I’m good i got a great life”
Tap dancing 101. the entire interview
He says “grow the pie” in every single short video clip from the podcast lmao 😂
This guy said a whole bunch of nothing in this video
I have yet to listen to the entire podcast, but he's said a bunch of nothing on EVERY clip I've watched. What a pathetic person. Probably the worst thing for the sport, but as an example of a terrible all around person beyond the sport as a whole.
Blah, blah, blah, personal responsibility? What's that?
“I’m Brian France and I’m gonna talk about everything except the DUI.”
As a recovering addict who sponsors multiple people, I call bs. Even in the first 55 seconds, he's already trying to diminish what he did. He's not mad for what he did, he's mad he got caught. Trash "human being"
Exactly… taking oxy’s to the point of being unable to drive properly was “just a bad day” 😂😂😂 No other story here…
He was prepared. He knew it was going to be brought up.
@@SosopChabot right like I had 8,439 days in a row with pills in my system but THAT, THAT was a bad day lmao
human beings can BEHAVE like trash…. BUT NO HUMAN BEING “IS” Trash! BRIAN needs to own his failures THEN move on…. I wish him SOBRIETY, ACCOUNTABILITY, and an AUTHENTIC life beyond his PAST failures
@@stephengreen2898 Very well put sir.
He talks mainly in third person. What things did you work on Brian???!? IT IS ABOUT YOU BRIAN!!!
It took some balls from Dale Jr to ask those questions😂
Not really. I think Brian knew it was coming, but he was definitely conflicted on how to answer, that much I can tell.
DALE has always had BALLS… And by GOD’s Grace, He learned to BE HIMSELF and drive HIS OWN RACE with Integrity! KELLY HELPED… And his real MOM… and many others too
"I've got a cool life. I'm rich. I can do anything I want."
You should have a full video podcast on CZcams
Dude is drunk now
Painkillers.......I know, I used to be an expert in their usage.
This guy never cared about Nascar or had an interest in it. It was just an income for him.
My perception is my own....he seems to have benefitted from Nascar but never seemed to love NASCAR. I think people can tell when you don't believe in the product you sell and I don't think he really believed in it apart from what it gave him and his family. He would have been just as happy if the product was widgets instead of racing.
Love how the only thing Mike had to say in this was "What the hell?"
We need a shirt with Mike's face with the caption" What the Hell"? 🤣
@@jamieingram4998 send that idea in. Good chance it'd be made lol
I was waiting for another restaurant analogy
Did he even answer the question.
"made a bad decision that day..." No, I'm sure it was like any other day. You just got caught.
Drunk drivers always say they made a mistake. No, you committed a criminal offense. I call BS.
He is beating around the bush
Thanks Dale Jr for asking the hard questions. Not surprised Brian France evaded the answers as best he could. My impression of him hasn't changed after this DJD. *shrugs*
He doesn't want to answer the questions. Just say something got away from you, you made mistakes and you are getting through it! He has a huge platform that he could use to reach a lot of people in that situation. Instead he chooses to answer like a politician which is not answering!
He should have been a politician. Won't really give a reason why it happened and sidestepped it.
Brian France going away was the best thing ever for nascar.
@ David s,,,,,,, to bad the damage he created is unfixable
Dale you can ask the difficult questions. Proves you have the sport first in mind
It wasn't just a DUI. He was also busted for illegally possessing oxycodone, which exposed the incredible hypocrisy of his treatment of Mayfield.
Typical CEO Mentality, no accountability at all.
Looks hammered. Hello Uber!
Thought the same thing, eyes are glossy and bloodshot, must've tied on a good one
@@bluecollarjedi7600 Painkillers
@@darksu6947 painkillers with alcohol, because he likes to party 😄. I'm joking of course.
Bro going back and watching this. Dale’s reaction to Brian saying “Life moves on” just completely skimming over the question, he’s like “Life moves on???” Shits hilarious
It's amazing how you can have it 5 minute conversation about the elephant in the room, and never say elephant. No one ever mentioned DUI, or arrest.
Your right and don’t misunderstand me cause I can’t stand this POS but I think he expected those questions. I believe he intentionally planned on pulling that filibuster and circumventing Dale’s question by blowing himself going on about how lucky he is and what a great life he lives blah blah. He probably knew what Dale’s air time was and planned accordingly. If so he may have accomplished not getting hit with those questions but it all went against him in the end.
This guy is the reason nascar is a shell of it's former self.
He alway says " it wasn't about me anyway ". No it isn't, it's about everyone else and everything else he messed up.
He brought the sport to its knees.
Anyone else feel like they need a shower after listening to him?
As messy as it ended, it ended as it should. Well said .
Mike Davis sums it up pretty good "Like, What the HELL?" Brian is obviously trying his best to smooth his image over - despite how he talks like a politician, he took on this interview probably fully knowing what was gonna be asked. Admited to some blatant mistakes. He's at least content with his life. Could you imagine if he'd come on the podcast an play victim for an hour and half?
he wasn't playing victim?
He still hasn’t dealt with his demons. He should have admitted that he blew it! It wasn’t the first time for him either. People in Daytona all know of another very public time he drove home home drunk and clipped a few cars and got away with it! I sure don’t think Dale or Mike bought any of his explanation. They were hoping he would man up and come clean and he let them down. Good job Dale Jr.
Surprised he didn't say well a commissioner of a different sports league did bad things too 😂 he wanted to expand nascar lol
this man is pickled, look at his eyes and skin God bless him I believe that he is still fighting some demons. I pray that I am wrong.
That is bad if he is still an addict. The point is to rehab before it gets worse. That should have been rock bottom for him.
@@ethanweeter2732 Most millionaires don't have a rock bottom because they never run out of money.
I googled his net worth 1.5 billion no wonder he talks out of the side of his mouth "okay for me but not for thee" he stutters and stammers I'll bet when he's done with the interview he won't remember none of it
This is what corporate America does to men
more like oxy and alcohol
Thanks Jr.
Part 2 of Bloomquist please
I'm sure I'm not the only one that saw that "Deer in the headlights" moment.
Dale you did a superb job with the wording of your questions providing him options that could have been good or bad for him and still get some type of admission from him. Instead the fool circumvents your questions and tries to impress everyone by bragging what a great life he has. Your interview successfully allowed Brian to show everyone the type of guy he really is. Well done.
As bad as things are getting right now, im still so glad he's not in charge anymore.
More spin than a laundromat.
Brian France's legacy is one of failure.
Perfect opportunity to apologize to fans and NASCAR community……nope.
He would make a great politician. He dodges questions beautifully.
Did he really discuss the issue? 🤨
NO… He DODGED the BALL and acted like he has NO BALLS!
I’ve watched all the podcasts, read a lot of the comments, I thought people had been a bit rough on a guy that was just trying to do the right thing, I’m a traditionalist, but his argument for introducing the chase made a degree of sense.
Here was his opportunity to do some good, we all struggle with stuff at times, we all wonder if there is an easy way to get through, he could’ve been a lot more open and honest, instead he chose to talk in circles. It doesn’t seem to me like getting caught has changed him at all.
Thank you for the video
I wonder who talked Brian into being here for this interview.... he certainly didn't want to be there. Although, he seems to have a distorted view of reality, so who knows what he thinks and the way he perceives how this went.
He'd make great politician. He avoids questions skillfully.
From what I get from these interviews. He was always following other sports rather than trying to lead them. They are all dependent on TV money and can't exist without it
His family still owns NASCAR and if worth $1B+.
It’s very disgraceful that NASCAR let Brian France stay in charge even when he was in substances when they they knew it or not. Very very sickening. The fact that NASCAR still hasn’t apologized for letting him stay as CEO while he was a drunk and druggie shows how NASCAR has been since the Brian France administration
Well TBH it was not NASCAR it was his dad who owns NASCAR. It is a family run company. So you will never get an apology. Brian paid his dues. And moved on.
