It's amazing what you can get done in 30 minutes, and even more amazing if you do it while listening to Dirty Thirty! You'll hear from your favorite hosts, NASCAR President Steve O'Donnell & BJ McLeod, too! We open up with Actions Detrimental, where Denny Hamlin weighs in on his former teammate Kyle Busch's recent struggles and why it doesn't add up to him. Next, Dale Jr. talks about Ty Gibbs' prime years and whether they will be affected whenever the day comes where Joe Gibbs is no longer in charge of JGR. In the guest episode this week, you can't miss him if you see him — BJ McLeod walks us through being compared to Jeff Gordon in the late '90s and why his big break never came. Over on the Bless Your 'Hardt set, we're back to talking about phones, and Amy gives us insight into the proverbial journey her phone goes through daily. And last, but definitely not least, NASCAR President Steve O'Donnell gives us a rundown on the changes being made to Talladega's stages to combat fuel saving — and why they are NOT a permanent fix.

Dale and Amy are back for another episode of Bless Your 'Hardt, and things get chaotic fast. It starts with their oldest daughter dropping a very “Dale-coded” phrase on a grown man over FaceTime, and Dale's explanation only makes it funnier. Amy opens up about brain spotting therapy and a buried childhood memory involving a seventh-grade teacher, a Hakeem Olajuwon jersey, and a moment of public embarrassment that stuck with her longer than she realized. Dale answers with one of his own from his teen years, getting called out by Tony Eury Sr. for not offering pizza to a crew, and how it shaped him. They also get real about couples therapy and the one piece of advice that completely changed how they handle arguments. Of course, it would not be an episode without the chaos: Dale giving a 2,500-person speech with a cardboard collar still in his shirt, the girls walking around with one earring each, and Travis going down a Google rabbit hole after Dale makes up a wild alligator “fact.” Plus, Ask Amy returns with questions about festivals, cats, and social etiquette disasters.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with one of the hardest-working members of the NASCAR garage this week, longtime racer and car owner BJ McLeod. After finding his roots in the Florida super late model scene, BJ took lessons he learned early on in his family's fertilizer and orange harvesting company to successfully assemble a fleet of NASCAR entries. BJ's racing start came through years of go-kart barnstorming up and down the East Coast with his father, before acquiring special permission to enter the late model ranks at the tender age of 12. Through mentoring from legends Pete Orr and Gary Balough, BJ became a terror at Florida strongholds like New Smyrna and Orlando Speedworld. He'd win the coveted World Series of Asphalt in 2010, and it was time for the next challenge. That next challenge came in the form of the world of NASCAR. BJ put together rides in the Trucks Series before taking on the O'Reilly Series with his own team. When the opportunity to purchase a charter and go Cup racing came about, BJ partnered with fellow racer and businessman Matt Tifft to roll the dice. He would make the financial decision to sell the charter to Spire Motorsports, but still aspired to embark on a Cup racing career, which he independently financed from his other businesses like the Pigeon Forge Racing Coaster. Today, BJ remains one of the hardest-working owners and drivers in racing, akin to 1992 NASCAR Champion Alan Kulwicki. His conversation with Dale covers his humble beginnings, championship years in late models, and fulfilling his unique dream of being a driver/owner in NASCAR.

It's not often that racers go on to have competitive second acts to their careers after retiring from the limelight. This week on the Download, Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with a driver who retired a NASCAR Truck champion and retraced his family roots back to the short tracks: Johnny Benson Jr. Born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Johnny grew up in the shadows of his father John Benson Sr., one of the finest chauffeurs the Midwest had to offer in the 1960s and 70s. John made a name for himself in the supermodified ranks and served as part of the Michigan invasion of the mid-60s to the legendary Oswego Speedway, where he captured the crown jewel Oswego Classic in 1966. At home, he was an accomplished parts builder and fabricator, which is where young Johnny got his first hands-on experience. Once John stepped away from driving, Johnny rose to the occasion to race for the family company, initially stepping into Southwest Michigan's dirt late model ranks. He quickly graduated to pavement competition, taking on the challenging American Speed Association tour in the mid-1990s, where he captured his first national championship in 1993. The feat landed him on the radar of many in the NASCAR ranks, including none other than Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Ernie Irvan. Johnny received a shot at the big time in the Busch Grand National Series, where he'd continue his winning ways with a season points crown in 1995. He was promoted to the Cup Series, driving for Bahari Racing, Roush Racing and finally MB2 Motorsports, capturing one lone victory at Rockingham in 2002.  Johnny's Cup opportunities would run their course, but he'd find later success in his NASCAR career driving for Bill Davis Racing in the Trucks Series. He'd become one of the few drivers in NASCAR history to win crowns in multiple series when he won the Truck title in 2008, before returning to his short track roots, getting behind the wheel of a supermodified in International Super Modified Association competition.

Batting second in the proverbial DMM lineup is Actions Detrimental with Denny Hamlin and his explanation on why they run so many caution laps in between stages. Next up, we had to highlight the callers in Door Bumper Clear's Reaction Theatre segment who covered everything from makin' babies to not-so-nice Easter wishes.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with late model stock standout Lee Pulliam on the heels of his O'Reilly Series debut at Martinsville. Growing up in Semora, North Carolina, on a farm, Lee's family's weekly trips to South Boston Speedway inspired him from an early age. As he aged through high school, he devoted his entire existence to figuring out how to get on the race track. Lee explains that he saved every dollar he could to purchase a race car, and that purchase came in the form of a limited late model that took over a year to get race-ready. He entered the ranks at South Boston, and before long, he carved out a career in the Mid-Atlantic that will be celebrated for decades to come. Lee's dominance at South Boston, Motor Mile, and other East Coast strongholds earned him four NASCAR Weekly National Championships. While he had a firm footing in the short track world, he only had one opportunity to rise to higher NASCAR ranks, which unfortunately folded after a series of bad luck. Lee returned to his grassroots and continued his winning ways until he made the difficult decision to step away from the driver's seat and concentrate on owner duties. After a triumphant return to the ValleyStar Credit Union 300 at Martinsville, which nearly saw him in victory lane, his emotional post-race reflection motivated Dale Jr. to find him a spot at JR Motorsports, leading to the veteran finally making his O'Reilly Series debut this past weekend.

We covered a lot of ground this week ... from Formula 1 stories, to stolen cake and a debate that still has the NASCAR world buzzing — this Dirty Thirty is 30 minutes of prime content for your listening pleasure. To kick things off, Scott Speed walks us through the wreck that ended up leading to his departure from Formula 1 and his entry in the NASCAR Cup Series, of which he knew next to nothing about. You'll hear from Denny Hamlin after his race at Darlington, where his co-host Jared asks about all the hype leading up to the race and whether or not the product lived up to the expectations. If you haven't heard this next part yet, buckle up. It's one of the most controversial takes we've had on any platform yet. Producer Travis Rockhold makes a claim about Hall of Fame Nominees you'll just have to hear to believe. On Door Bumper Clear this week, we asked Freddie, Tommy, Karsyn, and guest Matt Weaver the question: Is Hendrick Motorsports worried about being this far into the season without a win?

We'll catch you right here next week on Dirty Thirty! Don't miss us too much. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week on Bless Your ‘Hardt, Amy's birthday celebration did not exactly go according to plan, and somehow it involved two carrot cakes, a mystery bundt cake, and a situation where Dale may or may not have taken someone else's cake. Amy and Dale recap her birthday, including dinner at Epic in downtown Mooresville, along with a special birthday drink presented by High Rock Vodka, a funny debate about old school cars versus today's safety features, and why self-driving cars are a hard pass. Plus, Dale shares stories from his Key West trip, including a bar shot that involves getting smacked, and things spiral into conversations about color analysis, closet chaos, and why he refuses to throw anything away. The episode wraps with a chaotic round of Family Feud and Ask Amy, where they give advice on meeting the parents and talk about what age they would go back to if they could.

If you're a motorsports fan, you've probably heard the name Scott Speed. From his journey through Formula 1, ARCA, NASCAR, and Rallycross as part of the Red Bull family, the three-time X Games gold medalist has sure done it all. On this week's episode, Dale Jr. sat down with the former Formula 1 racer to learn about his career journey. Though Dale and Scott shared the track for many years, they never got the chance to sit down and chat. Today, that changes. What spawned from a love of racing video games and an admiration for his father's own career quickly grew into national go-kart success and a call from Red Bull. Scott was quickly thrust into the Formula One pipeline, moving overseas and becoming Red Bull's test driver for F1 as a teenager. Scott became the first American to compete in F1 since Michael Andretti. A career as a teammate to Sebastian Vettel quickly disappeared after a rainy wreck at the Nürburgring and a heated exchange with the team boss. Scott's career took a sharp turn back to America, where he joined the NASCAR circuit, winning multiple races in lower series before going full-time in the Cup Series in 2009. Though Scott's stint in NASCAR was short-lived, he opens up to Dale about how a broken back in a Rallycross race introduced a new career opportunity with former NASCAR driver Josh Wise – taking Scott out of the seat altogether for a role he never expected.

Dale Jr. and the crew celebrate 700 episodes with plenty of laughs and nostalgia, including some fun stories and a look at a signed Dale Sr. trading card. They preview a big CARS Tour weekend with limited spots and high stakes, share what made Dale's Nashville test feel like stepping back in time, and dive into everything that made Darlington weekend stand out, from throwback energy to the opinions it always brings out across the garage. They break down the on-track action in Darlington, including Justin Allgaier's strength on restarts in the O'Reilly series and a Cup race that had a little bit of everything with strategy, tire falloff, and late-race intensity. Tyler Reddick joins after a hard-fought performance to talk through the challenges he faced, and the crew weighs in on the Reddick vs. Buescher moment while also highlighting a few underrated runs across the field.

We managed to jam-pack this episode of the Dirty Thirty with highlights from SIX of Dirty Mo Media's shows this week. Our hosts need to stop making it so hard to pick with these banger moments — this show is only thirty minutes, guys! First up, Denny Hamlin predicts where his final win total lands and talks about what it meant to have his family in Las Vegas for victory number 61. A day later and possibly a dollar shorter from an extra night on the strip, we hear from the fans of Door Bumper Clear in Reaction Theatre, where Wood Brothers Racing President Jon Wood shares what he would personally do to will Josh Berry into some better finishes. After that, legendary wrestler Magnum T.A. describes the circumstances surrounding the car wreck that almost took his life, and still affects him to this day. In Dirty Air this week, Dale Jr. reacts to the news that Carson Hocevar will run a throwback scheme of his dad's — and it just so happens to be Jr.'s favorite paint scheme of the Intimidator's. Speaking of favorites, our favorite power couple came back from spring break, so you know Dale & Amy have tons to discuss about skiing, falling, and laughing all the way. Lastly, Jeff Gluck interviewed Ricky Stenhouse Jr. to get some insight on what goes into (and comes out of) throwing a punch, after Daniel Suarez & Ross Chastain almost got physical on pit road last weekend. Now that's a show if you ask us! Enjoy the show and tune in next time to hear the very best from what Dirty Mo Media has to offer. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dale and Amy are back with a chaotic, story-packed episode after a busy stretch on the road, featuring a rough morning scramble, a forehead injury that ends with a Peppa Pig band-aid, and some wild kid antics involving scissors and scabs. Plus, the Dirty Shirley drink of the week sparks a hilarious conversation about getting older and how your body starts doing unexpected things. They also recap their family ski trip in Colorado, from first-time skiing and a few big falls (not on the slopes) to fearless kids, chair lift struggles, and a tubing trip that turns into a full-on “ask for the manager” moment. Add in a dentist visit that somehow requires a chaperone, a missed tooth fairy situation, and a fun round of Ask Amy, and you've got an episode full of laughs, parenting moments, and plenty of chaos.

If you've ever tuned in to watch Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the Download before, you might have noticed some professional wrestling action figures in the studio backdrop. On this week's episode, Dale Jr. has the opportunity to sit down with the likeness of one of these figurines: the legendary Magnum T.A. Dale has often shared his love for professional wrestling while growing up, watching on Saturday mornings after cartoon matinees had concluded. It was through this programming that he took notice of Magnum and Dusty Rhodes, as well as the other icons of the 1980s independent scene.  Magnum, whose real name is Terry Wayne Alan, explains that although he was a semi-successful wrestler on the collegiate level, he never dreamed of being a professional. His path into the sport came through a bartending gig he had while attending school in the Chesapeake, Virginia area. His training took him to the Pacific Northwest, where he'd forge a friendship with the legendary Andre the Giant, who was responsible for creating the Magnum T.A. persona. Terry would be on a fast track to becoming the World Heavyweight Champion when a tragic 1986 car crash changed his life forever. He and Dale talk about the state of wrestling in the 80s, unlikely paths in life, and having to give up something you love before you're ready.

This one is locked, loaded, and ready to rip. Dale Jr. starts us off with a conversation around the NOAPS driver making a lot of waves recently: Corey Day. He describes the conversation he had with the young racer, how the team dynamics work between JRM and Hendrick Motorsports, and what he sees happening moving forward with Day.

The short track racing world took notice of the moment and learned a valuable lesson: you DON'T mess with the Elledge sisters. Over on Bless Your 'Hardt this week, Dale tells Amy the full story behind Isla saying her first cuss word — and how a small part of him felt so proud. This is a story you're going to want to catch. Lastly, the internet's favorite mullet-having, sleeveless shirt-wearing, helicopter-flying personality stopped by the Arby's studio to talk about his new RCR deal. In this segment, he discusses the noise from the haters, his fans, and what he hopes to accomplish racing in the O'Reilly Auto Parts series. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On this episode of Bless Your ‘Hardt, Dale and Amy dive into the little things in life that somehow turn into big debates. From the phrase “I'm just saying” and whether it softens a comment or just makes it more annoying, to the Drink of the Week presented by High Rock Vodka, sparking a discussion about lychee and herbs in drinks. Amy also recaps a trip to the beach house that turned into a series of funny parenting moments and restaurant adventures with the girls (be for real… who is still putting gum under the table?!). Later, Dale admits he's been completely consumed by organizing his old trading cards from the late '80s and early '90s, proving once again how quickly a hobby can turn into an all-out project. The conversation bounces from kids discovering video games and birthday party chaos to the many spellings of common names and a surprisingly serious debate about how to spell “I'm'll”… or is it “imol”? A poll may be needed to settle this one. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. welcomes Cleetus McFarland back to the Download on the heels of his polarizing NASCAR Trucks Series debut. The beloved YouTube-content creator and part-time ARCA competitor joins the show to share some big news: he's moving up in the world of stock car racing. McFarland explains that he recently received an offer to join Richard Childress Racing for select O'Reilly Auto Parts Series starts over the next two seasons. The team is eager to work with McFarland to help give him proper seat-time experience and training to help unlock the racer he has shown glimpses of being. He will take his next step at an upcoming test at Rockingham before making his series debut at the track on April 4th. Cleetus recently garnered negative attention when he crashed out early from his Trucks series debut at Daytona, a move brought on by a lack of experience and lap time. Dale Jr. explains that while he is moving quickly into his racing career, the incident has happened to even veteran racers such as himself. He goes on to reassure Cleetus that the training and education he'll receive at RCR will expedite his growth as a racer, giving him information he'd never be able to gain in the ARCA ranks. The guys also discuss the inherent danger that comes along with Cleetus' stunt work, the prospect of going late model racing, and even share a little liver mush snack.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with one of the most accomplished open-wheel racers in history, three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti. After elevating through the karting ranks of Scotland and taking on the lower formula divisions in Europe, Dario set his sights on the US racing scene, specifically the Championship Auto Racing Teams series. Once stateside, Dario explains his journey wasn't easy, and he initially struggled until joining Barry Green's organization. Dario would have a breakout year in 2007, winning his first Indianapolis 500 and the IndyCar Series championship, but through all the success, he felt his motivation waning, and he was ready for the next challenge. The next challenge came in an unlikely form: NASCAR. Through a deal with Chip Ganassi, Dario would plunge into the world of stock car racing with both feet, taking on the Cup grid in 2008 full-time. The endeavor would be ill-fated, and before long, Dario was back behind the wheel of an IndyCar, where he began a dynasty championship run. This incredible in-depth interview dives deep into the heartbreak of losing loved ones in motorsports, the severity of head injuries, and the difficulty of walking away from competitive racing.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with a pillar of the short track racing community this week, longtime racer and chassis builder Jay Hedgecock. After growing up in a family with rich NASCAR history and attending the local modified race shops with his father, Jay entered the racing world himself, racing a micro midget that he dug out of his uncle's junkyard. The work he'd do to get the midget back into racing condition would begin 55 years in the field. He'd receive the education of a lifetime when he happened upon a job in Tex Powell's shop, after sharpening some drill bits for the automotive legend. Jay had firsthand experience working on NASCAR Cup cars through Tex, and before long, thanks to friend Howard Stewart, he'd find himself behind the wheel of a stock car as well. After spending years building and racing late model sportsman cars, Jay would return to his true love in racing: the modfieds. He'd go on to win multiple championships with the Southern Modified Auto Racing Tour and track titles all over the heavily contested Virginia/North Carolina region. All the while, he continued his car building efforts and went on to build short track machines for Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt. Today, Jay remains one of the most successful and celebrated car builders in the country, supplying late model stocks to much of the CARS Tour field and NASCAR Weekly champions.

He first came into the organization assisting his friend Bobby Moody in the body shop, and before long, he was hired full-time, assisting Lou LaRosa in the engine department. Danny explains that when the team expanded to a two-car operation in the late 90s, Dale Earnhardt Sr. expressed that he wanted his own, separate engine shop.

He shares anecdotes about Dale's attention to detail and knowledge of a racecar. Dale's leadership drove the RCR team to operate at the same meticulous level, which made them virtually unbeatable in the late 80s/early 90s.
