Kyle Larson finally joins Door Bumper Clear — and he brought his spotter Tyler Monn with him. The guys get into Larson's frustrating winless season, his wild weekend bouncing between Cup and sprint cars, and what it's like working with Tyler after a last-minute change landed them together at Hendrick Motorsports.

Plus, Larson breaks down racing SVG, the skills he's picked up from watching the Supercars star, the Indy 500 double, Connor Zilisch's future at Hendrick, and why Corey Day fans might need to trust the process.

Because apparently Tyler Monn is one of the best karaoke singers on the planet. Want more DBC? Check out and subscribe to the new DBC YouTube channel! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome to our motorsports podcast where we discuss F1, IndyCar, IMSA, NASCAR, our own racing adventures, and some other adventures!A new street course with a mixed review. The weekend started off slow and bad after the track not being set up in time which led to no running at all on Friday. From there much of the scrutiny was about the hairpin which was a hot corner for action at a very very slow pace. In the end, the race turned out to be very entertaining with a full throttle run to the end that saw Marcus Ericsson charge through the top 5 and pass Romain Grosjean for the win in the final 10 laps. An excellent podium with Ericsson, Grosjean, and Power. With all that said, Palou finished a measly 4th which has extended his championship lead over the few behind him that are in contention. Now with a points lead of 133, we could see the championship decided this weekend on the streets of DC for the Freedom 250!Joey Logano wins at Richmond for the Cup Series.Coming up this weekend: F1 is at Zandvoort, IndyCar is in DC, IMSA is at VIR, SuperGT is at Suzuka, and NASCAR is at NHMS.

This week on Bringing the Heat With Trey Lyle, Caleb Barnes joins Lyle to focus on the biggest takeaways from the race at Iowa Speedway and talk the hottest topics of the week so far. One driver who has been a not-so-hot topic is Tyler Reddick, after a mistake took the No. 45 out of contention in the opening laps over the weekend. While Barnes believes the panic level is pretty high for the team, these next few races are key for Reddick to regroup and try to rebuild some confidence before the start of the Chase. With just three races left before the cutoff, Barnes and Lyle debate the drivers with the most to lose — or gain — when it comes to qualifying for the field of 16 drivers. That includes some concern about Shane van Gisbergen, along with some hope for some of the Ford drivers to use their short track speed to close on the cut line. Is Corey Heim vs. Carson Hocevar the Next Great NASCAR Rivalry?It might be a little too early to say yes. This week, fans found out that Corey Heim will not be eligible to compete for Rookie of the Year in 2027 due to a new regulation NASCAR is putting in place to determine who can qualify for the award. Barnes believes it's an unnecessary addition, while Lyle wonders if the Cup Series will even have anyone else available to run for 2027 Rookie of the Year. This week's news also brings a number of schedule announcements, including the return of the All Star Race to North Wilkesboro Speedway. While Barnes is sad to see the points race taken away, he thinks it's an opportunity to go to work on the short track package. Meanwhile, Lyle shares his excitement that the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series is returning to the historic venue in 2027. This week's soundbite comes from Christopher Bell, who reiterates some of his frustration with finishing in the runner-up spot yet again. Barnes and Lyle review if Bell could have handled the final run to the finish any differently at Iowa, and what the remainder of the season could look like if the No. 20 team does wind up breaking through to get to victory lane in the next few weeks. Watch Bringing the Heat With Trey Lyle here or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to our motorsports podcast where we discuss F1, IndyCar, IMSA, NASCAR, our own racing adventures, and some other adventures!Alex Palou just keeps on rolling with another win this season at Portland. He is now 110 points clear of Kyle Kirkwood in 2nd place which is quite the position to be in for someone who is "out of the championship"....The race was fairly straight forward with some good mid-pack battles as strategy unfolded. Palou did have a great radio exchange with his engineer which highlighted really well just how dominant he is performing. From here, we have four straight weeks more of racing to cap off the IndyCar season which is plenty of racing to watch!Ty Gibbs wins at Iowa for the Cup Series.Coming up this weekend: IndyCar is at Markham and NASCAR is at Richmond.

On this episode of The Dale Jr. Download, Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with longtime NASCAR driver, owner, and racing veteran Ken Ragan, father of former NASCAR driver David Ragan, for a trip through some incredible stories from NASCAR's past. Ragan shares how he got his start in racing, his days behind the wheel in Cup/ARCA through the 1980s, and the relationships that connected him with legends like Robert Yates, Davey Allison, Richard Petty and Tim Richmond. He also remembers being part of Richard Petty's historic 200th win at the 1984 Firecracker 400, surviving a serious crash at Talladega, and the story behind his involvement with the growth of Legends Cars – shaping the careers of many NASCAR drivers today. From old-school NASCAR stories to the people and moments that helped shape the sport, Ken Ragan has a firsthand perspective on an era of racing that's impossible to replicate.

What's the true definition of a short track? Is Iowa a short track? Why is everyone rearranging Dale's furniture!? Dale's coming out of the gates hot today with a passionate opinion on what classifies a track as a ‘short track' compared to an ‘intermediate,' debating TJ  for a good ten minutes straight. The three talk about what Iowa should do with the repave, how Ty Gibbs kept Christopher Bell from victory lane, and that the complaints about the racing aren't a Next Gen problem. The gang also discusses how the Chase standings have shifted after contenders and pretenders continue to be separated, including Ty Gibbs catapulting to second in points after his victory. Dale gives his perspective on why reducing the number of cars in The Chase field would help the storylines around the fight to get in, and talks about how NASCAR's rule about changing brake pads is something that needs to be rethought. He also touches on Carson Kvapil's second straight O'Reilly Series victory, and why they can be contenders for the championship.  Ty Gibbs also joins to talk about his breakout season, his mom's impact on his life, and why he believes taking away the digital mirror would take drivers out of the Cup Series. Dirty Mo Dough and Ask Jr wrap up another exciting episode of Dirty Air.  Check out Dirty Mo Media on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DirtyMoMedia Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

With no race this weekend and Denny Hamlin on vacation, Todd Gilliland and Connor Zilisch step in to keep the show going. Todd just won the in-season tournament, and apparently everyone already has their hand out. Spoiler: he doesn't keep all of it. Off the track, Todd is an avid fisherman who would rather not actually touch the fish, and he wastes no time calling out Denny on both his fishing skills and his takes on the tournament. Connor opens up about the challenges of his rookie Cup Series season, breaking down the biggest adjustments going from O'Reilly to Cup and why the added practice NASCAR is rolling out can't come soon enough. The guys also debate whether NASCAR should rethink how qualifying order is decided. From there, Connor shares what it's actually like spending time with SVG, Todd gives a behind-the-scenes look at life at Frat (Front Row Motorsports), and the guys weigh in on whether Carson Hocevar should expect any grace from the field going forward. Other topics include: who would win in a boxing match between Zane Smith and Carson Hocevar, what an SVG vs. Austin Hill fight would look like, whether it's better to call or text a driver after wrecking them, who's in the dog pound, who's headed to the loser's dinner, which driver might be into conspiracies, and which one won't stop talking after a few drinks. Oh, and Connor thinks Todd might be going through a midlife crisis. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Daniel Suárez and Julia Piquet take over the podcast for a special episode of Bless Your 'Hardt. They're filling in for Amy and Dale while they're on vacation in Costa Rica. With Julia just six weeks away from her due date, the two talk about getting ready for their first baby. They discuss their 50-person baby shower, keeping the baby's gender a surprise, and the baby names they've had picked out for years. But don't get your hopes up... it's a secret. They also settle a few important debates, including exactly when Daniel should actually start cooking at the barbecue. Daniel and Julia look back at their relationship, from first meeting through Julia's brother Nelson in 2012 to dating, moving in together, getting engaged and eventually getting married. Plus, Daniel opens up about the emotional significance of winning the Coca-Cola 600 with his new team and what the victory meant to everyone involved.

As Dale Earnhardt Jr. prepares for the Prime Video broadcast of NASCAR's inaugural trip to San Diego, he sits down with road racing experts Shane Van Gisbergen and Connor Zilisch. The guys visit the studio on the heels of the announcement that Red Bull will sponsor both of their cars at Naval Base Coronado. The deal also includes special edition cans of Red Bull featuring Shane and Connor. The guy's chat about the impact Red Bull has had on motorsports and the importance of their return to NASCAR specifically.  Speaking of San Diego, the guys chat about the seemingly daunting course that has been laid out over Naval Base Coronado. Both Shane and Connor have spent time on the simulator to prepare, and they've both paid visits to the site as the course has been under construction. With a length of nearly three-and-a-half miles, the track will be the longest that Cup has competed on since their visit to Road America in 2022. Dale Jr. ponders what NASCAR's protocol on caution periods will be, as laps under yellow will take nearly six minutes to complete. The interview also discusses growing pains in the Cup Series, what each driver learned during their time in the O'Reilly Series, and what is on the horizon for Trackhouse Racing.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. invites a one-time rising star in the NASCAR garage, Georgia's own Reed Sorenson. After having a meteoric rise from the American Speed Association to becoming a development driver for Chip Ganassi Racing, Reed was on everyone's radar in stock car racing. He would enter the O'Reilly Series ranks in winning fashion, just narrowly missing out on Rookie of the Year honors to NASCAR Hall of Famer Carl Edwards. Ganassi tabbed him to replace Casey Mears in the Cup Series, and before Reed knew it, he was living his racing dreams at the young age of 20. Once there, though, Reed quickly realized that every rung up the ladder in racing brought more challenges, and a series of missteps and bad deals would leave him searching for a stable opportunity in racing. Reed comes from a racing family. His father, Brad, was a longtime mainstay in the Southeast late model scene, running local tracks like Lanier on a weekly basis and even making a Busch Grand National start in 1992. Once Reed was old enough to reach the pedals, though, his family focused completely on his racing endeavors. He'd start out in quarter midgets and win his way across North America before graduating to Legend cars. Legend cars led to late models, and Reed caught the eye of Lorin Ranier during his time racing with ASA, which helped facilitate his introduction to Ganassi. Reed would experience the triumph of being one of the sports' top prospects before years of dealing with the cruel reality of the world of racing. Dale Jr. and Reed discuss his rapid ascent to the NASCAR Cup grid, his near-misses and opportunities, and his departure from full-time racing.
