The Drive with Paul Swann for August 10, 2026.

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. And last, but fighting for position, it's Todd Gilliland and Connor Zilisch, who guest-hosted Actions Detrimental where they answered questions about life in "The Dawg Pound" — and you'll want to listen to find out more.

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!

Dale Earnhardt Jr. welcomed one of the fiercest competitors and hardest workers in the NASCAR garage to the Download this week, longtime championship-winning crew chief Jimmy Fennig. Best known for his thirty-year tenure at Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing, Jimmy helped elevate a young Kurt Busch to his lone NASCAR Cup Championship in 2004. Jimmy's journey to the top of NASCAR's crew chief rankings came from humble beginnings in southeastern Wisconsin. After growing up under the roof of two generations of dirt racers, Jimmy and his brother Jeffrey decided to try their own hand at the craft, building and racing a sportsman car out of local Hales Corner Speedway. Jimmy quickly realized he preferred turning wrenches to rubbing fenders, and he took a job preparing cars for Wisconsin legend Al Schill. It was through this connection that he'd meet Bobby Allison at Slinger Speedway, beginning a long friendship that brought Jimmy into the NASCAR fold. Jimmy experienced a short track pinnacle, winning the 1986 American Speed Association Championship with Mark Martin, and it was off to the races in stock car land. Jimmy would join Bobby at the burgeoning Stavola Brothers Racing outfit, and they'd capture the 1988 Daytona 500. After Bobby's tragic career-ending crash at Pocono, he'd take on an ownership role, and Jimmy would follow along, sitting atop the box for Hut Stricklin, Jeff Purvis, and others. When Bobby Allison Motorsports shuttered in 1996, Jimmy was the last one out of the shop, and he'd part for the Liberty, North Carolina location of Roush to reunite with Mark Martin. Dale and Jimmy's conversation covers the tough competition of ASA in the 1980s, the loyalty and grit of Bobby Allison, and achieving the top accomplishments NASCAR has to offer.

Over on Door Bumper Clear, Mark Martin joined to talk about Corey Heim's incredible start to the season, but his ineligibility for the Truck Series chase. On this week's Bless Your 'Hardt, Amy took inspiration from Ella Langley and Theo Von's conversation on what flower they would be. Her pick for Dale was perfect, and his ... got there eventually.

After a week off from the Cup Series and hopefully a Happy Easter (yes, even for you Denny Bros) — the Door Bumper Clear crew is back and joined by a Hall of Famer in NASCAR and on our guest list, Mark Martin! To start the show, Mark and the gang rehash all the happenings from this weekend's O'Reilly, Truck, & ARCA Series races at Rockingham. But first, Mark tells the story of how he once tried to hire Tommy Baldwin to be his crew chief. After that, we dive into some Spot On, Spot Off, where we cover: - Should the Cup Series go to Rockingham? - Where did Cleetus McFarland perform according to our expectations of him? - Why shouldn't Corey Heim be able to compete for the Truck Series Chase? In Reaction Theatre this week, it was short, but it packed a punch, with fans calling in to thank Mark how only they can, ask about Tommy's car warranty, and more nonsense as usual. Is it really S*** Show Hall of Fame if Connor Zilisch doesn't show up? Also, Mark Martin talks about racing in the rain, Tommy calls the SMART Tour race pathetic, and we all react to the massive pile-up at Port Royal. Lastly, we call out our Weekend Winners and tease our guest for next week - and you guys will never be able to guess who it is... See you then!
