Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with longtime NASCAR competitor and former Coke 600 winner Casey Mears to chat about his recent return to the driver's seat. With the goal of reaching 500 career Cup starts in mind, Casey returned to Sunday competition this past weekend at Martinsville. Casey explains that the inspiration for the push to get 500 came from an interview he did a couple of years ago, where a journalist informed him that he had 489 starts. Thanks to time on the simulator, Casey was able to jump back behind the wheel after his five year absence and complete the race without too many mistakes.Casey and Dale discuss his upbringing in Bakersfield, California, and his time spent racing Stadium Super Trucks and off-road racing. Casey's relationship with off-road trucks stems back to his father Roger, who was prolific in the division, earning four class victories in the famed Baja 1000. Casey shares his experiences from the event and gives listeners great insight into what competitors face throughout the race. The guys also chat about Casey's time in the open wheel world, making the transition to stock cars, Casey's current day to day life and their friendship over the years.Dirty Mo Media is launching a new e-commerce merch line!

Matt Swiderski, the man affectionately known as "Squid" joins Davey Segal (7:40) to discuss his intriguing career that has spanned motorsports and aerospace. He explains why and how Daniel Suárez and the No. 99 team have turned a corner and flipped a switch ahead of the playoffs, why they were experimenting throughout the spring and summer and reflects on the option tire used at Richmond. Squid dives into his background in racing growing up in the midwest, working on street stocks and super late models in and around Chicago and how he wound up being a first-generation racer before getting hired at Richard Childress Racing after college as a data acquisition engineer. He explains what the role entailed, winning a then Busch Series title in 2007 with Clint Bowyer, working with Kevin Harvick, Casey Mears and others before making a career change. Swiderski explains why he opted to leave motorsports for a job at SpaceX, how his skillset transitioned to aerospace and his one-on-one interview with, you guessed it, Elon Musk. But his time there was short-lived, and he explains why racing was calling him back home to Welcome, North Carolina and RCR just 8 months later. He discusses his eventual rise to the crew chief role, why he was never dead set on pursuing that full-time, but once he got a taste he wanted more of it, stops along the way at Team Penske and Kaulig Racing, the recruitment process to Trackhouse, an ironic story of when he interviewed for the No. 99 crew chief position the first time, the culture at the team being similar to SpaceX, what he's learned in his 100+ Cup races as a shot caller, his realistic expectations ahead of his first playoffs and more. Davey also touches on Tyler Reddick's Michigan win, previews Daytona and Papa Segal pays homage to a NASCAR pioneer.
