“He Never Knew How to Say It”: Hank Parker on Dale Sr.’s Love for His Kids | DJD Classics

In this DJD Classic, which originally aired on September 13, 2023, bass-fishing legend Hank Parker Sr. shares his best Dale Sr. stories and how he found his way into stock car racing. While Dale and Hank have plenty of laughs, they also go deep into the emotional side of losing Dale Sr. and how Hank has coped over the years.

Close friends long before their rise in their respective careers, Hank recalls the hunting and fishing trips they shared and the rare moments when Dale opened up on a personal level. He also reflects on his own racing efforts — and how he put everything on the line to give his son, Hank Jr., a real shot at NASCAR glory.
