We open the show with Dale discussing Corey Heim's eligibility for the Rookie Of The Year being, quite frankly, non-existent.

Mark Martin's story of resilience, raw talent, and unmatched car knowledge defined the modern era of NASCAR drivers... and today, he sits down with fellow NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. to discuss it all! Mark details key moments that defined his career, especially turning down the Ranier Racing No. 28 car ahead of the 1982 season. From there, Mark discusses his long and complicated relationship with Jack Roush. Mark feared Jack, but a trip to a test track and an unauthorized plane landing helped Mark realize the true level of their relationship. In that same trip, Mark and his team got reckless and totaled a group of rental cars — and somehow, the story never got out. And Jack? He was none the wiser. Racing back in the '80s and '90s brought its own slew of challenges, and Mark details several such moments, including subbing out of the car at Pocono mid-race due to heat exhaustion.

Jordan Anderson's path to becoming a NASCAR team owner was anything but conventional. From pitching sponsors as a 12-year-old to selling his Super Late Model after being caught in the fallout of a series of bounced checks, Jordan shares the moments that kickstarted a racing career that began with one simple goal: making a single NASCAR Truck Series start.

Dirty Mo Media may have started with a Dale Earnhardt Jr. podcast, but DMM President Mike Davis never believed it would stop with one driver, one podcast, or even one sport. Today, he is leading DMM through its next phase of growth while trying to protect the honesty and audience trust that helped build the company in the first place. In Part 2 of Business of Motorsports, Kelley Earnhardt Miller sits down with DMM President Mike Davis to talk about what the company has actually become: a motorsports media network telling stories from every corner of the sport, and now pushing into new ones too. Mike gets into how DMM decides which shows are worth betting on, why some ideas need years to find their audience, and why he's comfortable having a few misses to find the next big hit. He also tells the story of how a trip into the rodeo world turned into a friendship with Jerome and Tiffany Davis, the launch of Dirty Mo Rodeo, and a bigger vision for where DMM can go outside of racing. Growth hasn't come without tension. Mike talks candidly about navigating DMM's relationship with NASCAR, the balancing act of staying independent while still being part of the sport, and why DMM has walked away from business rather than tell its hosts what they can and can't say. This is the story of how Dirty Mo Media keeps growing without losing the authenticity that made it work in the first place, and where Mike believes DMM can go next.

Everything bad happens when Dale Jr. isn't home… at least that's what Amy is starting to believe. On this episode of Bless Your Heart, Dale and Amy are back at the beach house talking about the latest adventure that went wrong while Dale was away at the race. After a massive storm rolled through, Amy, Karsyn, and the girls found themselves stranded with a dead golf cart and had to push their way home. That leads to Dale building his case that Amy might be the reason his vehicles keep breaking down, including the story of what happened when she took his restored S-10 truck for a drive. The conversation doesn't stop there. Dale reveals the one very specific song he wants played at his funeral, Amy shares her thoughts on his growing trading card obsession, and the two debate whether hobbies are ever really “too much.” Then they switch over to Ask Amy, where they answer fan questions about Freddie's chair, pickle wine, favorite childhood memories at their grandparents' houses, and the ultimate breakfast debate: pancakes, waffles, or French toast. It's another episode full of stories, laughs, and the adventures that somehow always find Dale and Amy.

Mike Davis didn't set out to run a media company – he set out to help tell Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s story. Today, he's President of Dirty Mo Media, leading a company that's grown from a single podcast into a full network of shows, live events, and branded content across NASCAR, motorsports and new verticals outside of the racing world. In Part 1, Kelley Earnhardt Miller takes Mike back to the beginning: becoming Dale Jr.'s publicist during the Budweiser years, helping navigate the historic departure from DEI, and launching the original Dale Jr. Download with no business plan – just an instinct that NASCAR fans wanted more Dale Jr. content. That instinct turned into Dirty Mo Media. As the company grew beyond one show, Mike made the call to move from behind the mic as co-host of the Download to behind the scenes – becoming President and eventually an equity partner, focused on building the infrastructure, team, and strategy behind DMM's expansion. This is the story of how one NASCAR podcast became a media company, and the partnership that made it possible. Part 2 drops next week, where Mike and Kelley go deeper on what DMM looks like today and where it's headed next Check out Dirty Mo Media on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DirtyMoMedia Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Kelley Earnhardt Miller welcomes Howard Hitchcock and Richard Barry, the CEO and COO of Lionel Brands Group, to the Business of Motorsports for a conversation that pulls back the curtain on one of NASCAR's most beloved and misunderstood businesses. What most fans see as a toy or a souvenir is actually the product of a 12-to-18-month process involving complex CAD data from OEM tech centers, hand-applied waterslide decals, Chinese factory peak seasons, and approval chains that run through teams, NASCAR, Goodyear, and every single sponsor on the car. Howard and Richard break down why scarcity is not a bug but a feature, how the collapse of single-sponsor deals reshaped the entire product line, and why getting confetti placement right on a Chase Elliott victory car matters more than most people would ever imagine. They also get personal, talking about what drew Richard to invest in a brand with 126 years of history, why Howard collects presidential china, and how a three-year-old kid getting a diecast signed at a fan event captures everything this hobby is actually about. If you have ever wondered how a win on Sunday becomes a collectible in your hands months later, this is the conversation that explains it all.

There's a hurricane in the Arby's studio. That's right – Carson Hocevar AKA ‘The Hurricane' dropped by today to fill in for Dale Jr as our host for DJD – and this episode was unforgettable. Right out of the gate, Dale Facetimed Carson, thinking that taping had just ended, but in fact, it was just getting started. Carson filled everyone in on his relationship with spotter Tyler Green, how the two navigated Naval Base Coronado, and the winning celebration that every fan would've been talking about had Carson pulled off the victory. In typical Hocevar fashion, Carson gave his takes on Reddick's sportsmanship while racing Heim for the win, his own run-in with Corey Heim, Noah Gragson's heated discussion with Kevin Magnussen, and so much more from the race weekend in San Diego. Cleetus McFarland also calls into the show to talk for a quick minute, right before Carson gets back to more of his opinions on all things NASCAR. Plus, a Kay Adams update.
