On this week's guest episode, Dale Jr. sits down with Jody Davis, former Major League baseball player and friend of his dad's. Jody remembers the first time he met the Intimidator and the time he went over the wall for him on his pit crew. In the land of Bless Your 'Hardt, Amy & Dale Jr. chat about Cleetus McFarland's get-up for his dinner with Dale Jr. at the local steakhouse ... and why Dale was not expecting it (but he should have!) And lastly, Noah Gragson and Zane Smith joined Door Bumper Clear, and during Reaction Theatre, Noah shares a story of a fan who cussed him out, thinking that he was actually Zane.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sets out to learn more about his father as he sits down with longtime Earnhardt confidant and former MLB catcher Jody Davis. Jody had an MLB-record setting career as the man behind the plate, spending time with the Chicago Cubs and Atlanta Braves before retiring in the early 90s. It was during his time on the Cubs that he'd meet Dale Earnhardt Sr., through a connection with Wrangler Jeans. He'd find himself at the 1986 NASCAR Cup season finale at Atlanta, where coincidently Dale Sr. would win his second championship. The two quickly bonded over their love of the outdoors and made off-season plans in Montgomery, Alabama to go hunting. Dale Jr. and Jody reminisce about Dale Sr.'s competitive and daring nature. They also discuss the time Jody spent on the road with the famed No. 3-team as an over the wall pit crew member. The conversation also covers Jody's career through the minor leagues after being drafted as a freshman in college, his memorable seasons with the Cubs, and his post-playing career as a team manager all over the world.

Let's get ready to DIRTY THIRTY! Your week's been too squeaky clean — you need a dose of Dale discussing The Chase field, Door Bumper Clear commenting on Carson Hocevar, and a story about one of Dale Earnhardt's commercial props that Dale Jr. still has.

Next up, Denny Hamlin had a tough day in Iowa because his brakes were basically useless. He discusses his conversations with NASCAR and the penalty they pondered creating if he went too far with his antics. Then, in Door Bumper Clear, the gang highlights the comments Carson Hocevar made about the sport "being on a ventilator" and why they simply disagree with him. Our guest on the Dale Jr. Download was Ken Ragan this week, and he had a front row seat to Richard Petty's 200th win -- literally! Last but definitely not least, Amy can't believe it when Dale Jr. reveals he still has a rather unusual item you wouldn't expect the Intimidator to have owned. All this fun in only 30 minutes?

Racing is back this weekend! What better way to get fired up than with a round of the Dirty Thirty — 30 minutes, Dirty Mo Media's best, most hilarious, and eye-opening moments. Starting us off, Mark Martin came to our neck of the woods to sit down with Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the Arby's studio! He and Dale talked about the playoff committee last year and why Mark wanted to stick to his guns on getting the best format possible for the fans. For Dirty Air this week, Dale Jr. hosted a round table of industry members — including Marcus Smith, Jeff Burton and Matt Weaver. The conversation took us to discuss the All-Star Race, the sentiment surrounding it, and what could happen to it in the future. Door Bumper Clear may have been on vacation, but they brought you an extra episode to enjoy! In this segment, you'll hear a riveting Rowdy story from superfan Frankie Dodd, who was everything we expected a DBC fan to be.

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. On top of that, Mark raced with a hand-operated clutch in his late model just weeks after suffering a vicious crash. After discussing Mark's new book, he and Dale Jr. discuss the current state of NASCAR racing, namely the points format that Mark spearheaded as part of NASCAR's Playoff Committee. Plus, Mark shares his potentially radical idea to fix racing with the Next Gen car. All of this packed into another can't miss episode of The Dale Jr. Download!

Chris Buescher was there when he, Dale Jr, and others cleaned up North Wilkesboro Speedway to preserve it for digital scans. Never did they think it would make a full comeback. Andrew Kurland reports. 

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.

In case you've been living under a rock this week, we've had ourselves a week here at Dirty Mo Media — so why don't we take the best 30 mins, package it into a highlight show, just like we do every week. Deal? Deal. We start off with Dirty Air, where Carson "The Hurricane" Hocevar plays host for Dale Jr. while he's out doing something or other in California in between San Diego & Sonoma. Carson dives into the incident between him and first-time winner Corey Heim, the celebration the fans missed out on, and... oh yeah, Cleetus calls in. Next up, Denny Hamlin discusses the final battle between his two drivers, Tyler Reddick & Corey Heim. Did Tyler do the right thing by letting Corey go? DH's answer might surprise you. On Business of Motorsports with Kelley Earnhardt Miller, CEO of Lionel Racing, Howard Hitchcock explains the process of getting diecasts into consumers' hands, and how it takes longer than you might think.

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.

Dale, TJ and Freddie are joined by The Hurricane himself, Carson Hocevar, for the entirety of the show to talk about prepping on iRacing, Spire's standout performance, qualifying on the front row, and the unknowns of tire wear on the abrasive San Diego circuit.

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.

Door Bumper Clear welcomes a guest everyone has been asking for: Cleetus McFarland! Danny Stockman, aka Downforce Danny, also joins the fray to discuss Cleetus's aspirations in NASCAR, including a future bid for the Daytona 500. Finally, Dale Jr. welcomed rapper and TV personality Vanilla Ice into the Arby's studio. The two discuss their first meeting at a Las Vegas nightclub, Vanilla's career surge from Ice Ice Baby, and the prized car in his collection with a special connection to Dale Earnhardt Sr. It's variety you can't find anywhere else — all in 30 minutes!

Amy and Dale are back with another episode of Bless Your 'Hardt, and the Earnhardts might have a new family hobby. After their daughters discover a new obsession at golf camp, Amy starts plotting the family's future on the golf course while Dale isn't exactly ready to commit. Meanwhile, a post-Nashville sleep schedule has Dale running on fumes and relying on Amy for a very specific kind of support. The conversation bounces from the origins of "Denny Bros" to updates on the Dale Jr. Foundation Tahoe giveaway, upcoming family adventures at Hersheypark, and a debate that becomes far more passionate than anyone expected. Then there's the gift. Amy brings something to the studio that leaves Dale completely speechless and threatens to derail the entire episode. If you've ever wondered what it takes to make Dale Jr. genuinely uncomfortable, you're about to find out. Before wrapping the show, they tackle listener questions, grocery store etiquette, phone privacy, beach house construction chaos, and the traffic stop that continues to live rent-free in Amy's head. From family stories and random tangents to unexpected arguments and one unforgettable surprise, this episode has a little bit of everything.

With us starting our own NASCAR show and with the race being in Nashville this weekend, no better way to start your weekend with the guy who helped launch our new show, Ryan Blaney. Following the intro, the boys are joined by 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Champion, Ryan Blaney. We didn't have Ryan for very long but the boys made the most of the time that we did have. Will and Taylor aren't the biggest of NASCAR fans so some of the questions that are asked make no sense but are hilarious. Including when Will asked if the drivers "Shake and Bake" and use the "Slingshot" method from one of the best sports movies of all time, Talladega Nights. This interview allows Ryan to show his true self and he fit in perfect with the boys. EnjoySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Coming off a heavy weekend for the sport, all of our hosts took time to acknowledge the passing of Kyle Busch, offer support for his family, and tell stories about the Rowdy they knew. Dale Jr. starts us off by sharing about the final text conversation he had with Kyle about racing one of his late models and how Rowdy never truly wanted to be labeled as a villain of the sport. Over on Door Bumper Clear, Freddie Kraft invited longtime spotter of Kyle Busch, Tony Hirschman, and broadcasting phenom, Eric Brennan, to discuss Rowdy, his Hall of Fame career, and the incredible number of wins. In this week's Actions Detrimental, Denny and Jared recall the time when Kyle decided to race through New York City on foot to win a bet, and the bond that he and DH shared as teammates. Lastly, Amy opens up about the loss of a friend in KFB and her favorite memory of him.  It's hard to believe he's gone, but it is the stories we tell that will keep him alive - so share yours with us. We will see you all next week on Dirty Thirty. Check out Dirty Mo Media on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DirtyMoMedia Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with longtime fixture in the NASCAR garage, Morgan Shepherd, to learn about his journey from bootlegging to becoming a multi-time Cup Series winner. Born in Ferguson, North Carolina, Shepherd followed his father Jesse Clay's footsteps into the moonshine lifestyle. It was here he honed his driving skills, and after a close call with the police scared him straight, he decided to exercise fast driving on the local short tracks. He took to the legendary Hickory Motor Speedway and began winning on a regular basis in the late model ranks. Through the 1970s, Morgan began moving up the NASCAR Late Model Sportsman rankings before winning the national crown in 1980. This accomplishment catapulted Morgan into full-time Cup competition, and before long, he would pick up his first win in the top level of stock cars, at Martinsville in 1981, driving for Cliff Stewart. Morgan drove for a litany of owners throughout his Cup career and would park cars in victory lane on four different occasions. He spent the latter part of his driving days chauffeuring rides for his own team, breaking several age-related records along the way. Morgan would make his 1000th NASCAR national start in 2018 at the tender age of 76. Morgan joins Dale Jr. for a conversation about his legendary career and his current battle with Parkinson's disease.

They also discuss Hendrick Motorsports' dilemma of what to do with Alex Bowman and the rapidly rising Corey Day, who continues to turn heads on a weekly basis in the O'Reilly Series. And let's not forget Corey Heim, and what that means for Riley Herbst and 23XI Racing.  The conversation also covers the schedule changes we've seen this year in NASCAR and what can be on the horizon in the coming years. They preview the highly anticipated San Diego street race and what drivers will need to do to get up to speed on a new circuit. Finally, the guys take a look at the races that will be covered on Prime Video this season, and they make some predictions of who will be taking home the wins each week.

Then we hear from SVG himself on whether he feels it's truly an advantage or not.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with one of the most promising rising stars in the NBA, Charlotte Hornets small forward Kon Knueppel. Kon lit the professional basketball scene on fire this year as he became the first rookie in NBA history to lead the league in three-point shooting, shattering several records along the way. After growing up in a basketball family in the Milwaukee area, Kon was recruited by Duke, where he helped lead the team to Atlantic Coast dominance. He would declare for the NBA draft and would be picked fourth overall by the Hornets, helping to turn their performance around for the 2025/26 season. Kon would ultimately lose a highly contested Rookie of the Year battle with fellow Blue Devil Cooper Flagg by one of the narrowest margins in league history. Funnily enough, despite having two basketball legends for parents, Kon didn't show much interest in the sport until he got his hands on video game classics like NBA2K and NBA Jam. Kon became interested in the legends of the past and learned to love the game through its history. By high school, he was one of the most promising collegiate prospects in the country, and he fielded offers from many major Division One schools. Dale and Kon's conversation covers the Hornets successful comeback season, the changing culture of the team and his journey from a close-knit, basketball crazy family to being a perimeter shooting phenom.

This week, Dale Earnhardt Jr. catches up with a driver who has firmly established himself as one of the top drivers in the NASCAR Cup Series, 2023 Champion Ryan Blaney. Ryan enters the studio with major news: he is signing a long-term extension with Penske Racing. He explains what his time with the team and legendary owner Roger Penske has meant to his career and how he can't imagine himself anywhere else in racing. While Ryan currently finds himself fourth in season points, his year hasn't been without turbulence. The guys chat about Ryan's pit road mishap at Texas and his ongoing issues throughout the early events of the year. Ryan explains that he's confident in the team's speed; they just need to put all the pieces together. Dale and Ryan share admiration for the new NASCAR points standings, which harkens back to previous favorite times in the sport. Ryan applauds the fact that race wins mean so much more under this format, and it's no longer about being “welcomed to the Playoffs”.

Our first stop comes in at Dale Jr. Download station, where Dale dives into the happening over at Richard Childress Racing and the news that Jim Pohlman is OUT as Kyle Busch's crew chief (although he technically got promoted...)  Next up, we travel to the moon and back — sort of. Noah Gragson and Chase Briscoe joined Door Bumper Clear and had a riot of a time. But the train really went off the rails when they got into this weekend's waxing crescent moon and how it *allegedly* affects the grip of the racetrack. We end up with Noah calling Josh Berry, Riley Herbst, & Austin Dillon to confirm the conspiracy. Dale interrupts the show to tell you about FAN DAY on May 21st at JR Motorsports!  Back to the action of the show, Denny Hamlin chimes in on the debate stirred up by Stephen A. Smith, which entailed whether or not NASCAR drivers are considered athletes. All the way back at the very beginning of the week, The Teardown hosted NASCAR's newest CEO, Steve O'Donnell, to talk about the future of the sport and what he plans to do with feedback. Our closer is a popular man this week — Carson Hocevar stopped into the Arby's studio to discuss his first-ever Cup Series win, his all-time celebration, and the motion that comes with watching it back.
