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.

With Kyle Larson, Ryan Blaney, Denny Hamlin, Chase Elliott, Bubba Wallace, Tyler Reddick, Christopher Bell, and more all in the fantasy conversation, this is the episode you need before setting your NASCAR Fantasy Live, DraftKings, or weekly league roster. Can Larson keep his Nashville magic rolling? Is Blaney the safe play? Is Bubba Wallace the value pick? And which under-the-radar driver could steal your fantasy week?

Ryan Blaney picked his first win of the season last year at Nashville Superspeedway. We asked him what he remembers most about the victory. David Styles for PRN's Garage Pass
Recorded: May 27th 2026 | Welcome to the first episode of Racin' With The Boys. For the first episode, we thought we'd give you guys two of the top drivers in NASCAR, Ryan Blaney and Bubba Wallace. The guys start off the show about asking Bubba what it is like driving for one of the GOAT's in all of sports, Michael Jordan. Bubba and Blaney get into what is like driving for two of the premier teams in the sport in 23XI and Team Penske. Bubba gets into how cool it is to be driving the 23 car for Michael Jordan and how it can be difficult at times racing against the other owner of the team, Denny Hamlin. Bubba and Ryan are really good friends and talk what it was like coming up through the ranks of NASCAR together and racing each other when they were kids. The guys get into what race preparation looks like each week and how much actually goes into getting ready for every week. Ryan gives his thought on how the new NASCAR playoff, "The Chase", is better than the previous playoff format as it rewards consistency rather luck. Will and Taylor then have some fun with the guys asking what they get their crew members each year for Christmas, let's just say, the boys need to get better at gift giving. Bubba has a wild take by saying "Talladega Nights" is a terrible movie and thinks it paints all the drivers as dumb rednecks. The boys then end the pod talking about how tough it was losing Kyle Busch suddenly. Each of them pay their respects and say how much he meant to them and how it still doesn't feel real. All in all, this is a fun listen and shows off how much of dudes both Ryand and Bubba are.

Denny Hamlin gets his second win of the season…only this one doesn't actually count since it was the All-Star Race. Denny won the pole after spinning out before his qualifying lap even counted. Like most of the weekend, qualifying was a tad confusing. On Sunday, there was immediate carnage only adding to the confusion. The drivers who paid the biggest price were those locked in to the All-Star race like Chase Elliott, who technically didn't race in the All-Star race. Plus, Denny has a new location suggestion for the All-Star race next year Thanks to Goodyear there was plenty of tire wear. Plus, low downforce and added horsepower had lots of drivers having control issues. On the track, Denny and the 11 team had the best car. The one area where Denny continued to struggle was restarts. He explains what's going on and why he is determined to figure it out. On Saturday, Corey Day made a statement and the rumors about his future are flying around. The guys get into whether or not he is ready for Cup racing. For more content head over to our YouTube page https://www.youtube.com/@ActionsDetrimental Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Only have 30 minutes? Well, this episode of Dirty Thirty packs a full-sized podcast punch into a half-hour runtime - and it's all the best parts from Dirty Mo Media's shows, including: Dale's Martinsville Rant, A Really Angry Fan Voicemail & Jeff Gluck's Interview with Cleetus McFarland. We start off with Dale Jr. giving us a rant for the ages, where he gives a fiery explanation about how he differs from drivers who get upset about door banging at Martinsville. 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. Plus, ahead of his race for Richard Childress Racing at Rockingham, Cleetus McFarland chatted with Jeff Gluck on the Gluckcast about advice he's gotten, how to grow a YouTube channel, and what he wants NASCAR fans to get out of him racing in the sport. And last, but certainly not least, break out the tissue boxes — Lee Pulliam recounts the emotional embrace he shared with his daughter before climbing the JR Motorsports No. 9 at Martinsville and how much she knew it meant to her dad. Thanks for listening! See you next week, right back here on the Dirty Thirty. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Door Bumper Clear crew returns from Martinsville after a weekend that seems like it couldn't have gone worse, but things brighten up because we have Todd Gilliland joining us, who is all smiles. In the opening segment, or B.S. as we like to call it, we cover tons of ground, including the cause for Luke Baldwin's unfortunate wreck, Bubba Wallace's detrimental crash, and why the world of ARCA was buzzing this week. In Spot On, Spot Off, the topics we brought to the table were: - Was Alan Gustafson's call luck or strategy (or maybe even a little of both) - The package at Martinsville and the racing product - Jesse Love & Rajah Caruth's well-handled post-race conversation - The NASCAR Hall Of Fame Nominees List In Reaction Theatre, we hear from the Chasesexuals, try to pronounce SVG's full name, and get a not-so-nice Easter message for Denny Hamlin. Following that up is S*** Show Hall of Fame, and it felt like our nominees were being served up on a silver platter — with everything from Nashville Fairgrounds' short tracks faux pas to Porsches flying over catch fences. For Ask DBC, we ask Todd Gilliland if he really looks at the flag man, what he's doing with his week off, and what his go-to road trip snacks are. The gang wraps up with DBC picks, Weekend Winners, and their closing thoughts before teasing who we have coming on next week — hint: an undeniable Hall of Famer is making his return!

Denny Hamlin and Jared Allen sit down to unpack a frustrating day at Martinsville Speedway, where Denny came up just short, and walk through exactly how it slipped away. From a loose wheel in the final run to a tough restart that put him behind the eight ball, plus a pivotal moment battling Ryan Blaney that may have changed everything, nothing is off the table. Meanwhile, Chase Elliott ends up in victory lane for Hendrick Motorsports and Chevy, and the guys dig into whether his aggressive third-and-fifteen strategy call is getting the credit it deserves. They also get into the bigger conversations from the weekend, including the Bubba Wallace and Carson Hocevar incident, ongoing frustration with caution lengths and TV breaks, and Justin Allgaier's O'Reilly Auto Parts win. Things heat up in a Hall of Fame debate as Denny makes the case that lower series success shouldn't automatically punch a ticket to NASCAR's highest honor, while Jared pushes back with a more balanced take. And in true Martinsville fashion, the weekend also somehow included 46,000 hot dogs being eaten by fans. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It's Door Bumper Clear's 400th episode! So, we had to go big with our guest, and there's no one bigger than Randy LaJoie, a.k.a. “Big Rand.” He joins DBC to talk about Phoenix, his racing seats, and the crazy stories from his racing past. To open the show, Randy takes us down memory lane with stories about racing Dale Earnhardt, the race car he still hates, and how he got into making life-saving seats. Then the gang dives into the race in Phoenix, where horsepower, tire pressure, and Ryan Blaney's comeback became some of the biggest storylines of the day. In Spot On, Spot Off, the topics they tee off on include: • A crew chief's aggressive tire pressure play after Stage 1 • Ty Gibbs' post-race comments about being with “the right guys” • Cleetus McFarland's breaking O'Reilly Auto Parts Series news • The reality of Chase Briscoe making the playoffs from 32nd in points We then hear from you guys in Reaction Theatre, where the toasters were put away, and the race fans were out to play. S*** Show Hall of Fame didn't disappoint, with Oscar Piastri, Dirt Crown Vics, and an unfortunate cameraman leading the way among the nominees. To wrap up the show, Randy LaJoie tells the insane story of his scary Daytona flip and shares his best Buckshot Jones memories.

Denny Hamlin earns his first top-five finish of the season in Phoenix, but the car still wasn't as fast as Christopher Bell and Ryan Blaney. Denny explains why they had the best car in November but didn't have that same speed this time around. He admits he's checking the points after every race, but he isn't worried yet because the season is still long. Sunday's race featured more horsepower, failing tires, and racing that felt like old-school NASCAR. Denny explains why Goodyear isn't to blame for the tire issues and why the teams may have pushed things too far. The guys also debate the classic strategy question once again: two tires or four? Plus, Denny is happy that “win and you're in” is gone; they discuss whether Chase Briscoe's title hopes are already in trouble, preview why Darlington could turn into complete chaos, and Denny reveals he's going fishing at Celine Dion's later this week.

How have two weekends of the NASCAR season already passed us by? It feels like time is flying at the speed of sound, and that's why this power-packed 30 minutes has the very best from Dirty Mo Media's week of shows following the race in Atlanta — so you can catch up on all the action. Dale Jr. kicks us off with a conversation surrounding the storm that blew through Atlanta, known as Hurricane Hocevar. He and TJ discuss what payback looks like and Hocevar's role in the sport, which is much more important than you might think. Next up, Dario Franchitti was supposed to join us in the Arby's studio, but the snow up north forced him to call in; however, the distance didn't keep this episode from being an instant classic. We pick up with him here about his friendship with Jimmie Johnson, and how his Truck ride with Tricon for St. Petersburg came together. Get the bathtubs ready, Blaney fans, Ryan dropped in to Door Bumper Clear, where we learned about his pet llama's daring escape and the unconventional ways he's taking care of that sweet 'stache he's sporting. Remember that Hocevar guy we talked about earlier? Well, he and Jeff Gluck talk about the waves he's making in the Cup Series in one of our newest shows, The Gluckcast, dropping every Thursday on the Teardown's podcast feeds. You'll want to hear how he feels about his driving style, sending apology texts, and how he feels about his nickname. That's all we have for you this time! We'll see you next week for another turbocharged episode. Real fans wear Dirty Mo. Hit the link and join the crew.
