The Dale Jr. Download

If you’re a motorsports fan, you’ve probably heard the name Scott Speed. From his journey through Formula 1, ARCA, NASCAR, and Rallycross as part of the Red Bull family, the three-time X Games gold medalist has sure done it all. On this week's episode, Dale Jr. sat down with the former Formula 1 racer to learn about his career journey. Though Dale and Scott shared the track for many years, they never got the chance to sit down and chat. Today, that changes. What spawned from a love of racing video games and an admiration for his father's own career quickly grew into national go-kart success and a call from Red Bull. Scott was quickly thrust into the Formula One pipeline, moving overseas and becoming Red Bull’s test driver for F1 as a teenager. Scott became the first American to compete in F1 since Michael Andretti. A career as a teammate to Sebastian Vettel quickly disappeared after a rainy wreck at the Nürburgring and a heated exchange with the team boss. Scott's career took a sharp turn back to America, where he joined the NASCAR circuit, winning multiple races in lower series before going full-time in the Cup Series in 2009. Though Scott's stint in NASCAR was short-lived, he opens up to Dale about how a broken back in a Rallycross race introduced a new career opportunity with former NASCAR driver Josh Wise – taking Scott out of the seat altogether for a role he never expected.

Dale Jr. and the crew celebrate 700 episodes with plenty of laughs and nostalgia, including some fun stories and a look at a signed Dale Sr. trading card. They preview a big CARS Tour weekend with limited spots and high stakes, share what made Dale’s Nashville test feel like stepping back in time, and dive into everything that made Darlington weekend stand out, from throwback energy to the opinions it always brings out across the garage. They break down the on-track action in Darlington, including Justin Allgaier’s strength on restarts in the O’Reilly series and a Cup race that had a little bit of everything with strategy, tire falloff, and late-race intensity. Tyler Reddick joins after a hard-fought performance to talk through the challenges he faced, and the crew weighs in on the Reddick vs. Buescher moment while also highlighting a few underrated runs across the field.

We managed to jam-pack this episode of the Dirty Thirty with highlights from SIX of Dirty Mo Media's shows this week. Our hosts need to stop making it so hard to pick with these banger moments — this show is only thirty minutes, guys! First up, Denny Hamlin predicts where his final win total lands and talks about what it meant to have his family in Las Vegas for victory number 61. A day later and possibly a dollar shorter from an extra night on the strip, we hear from the fans of Door Bumper Clear in Reaction Theatre, where Wood Brothers Racing President Jon Wood shares what he would personally do to will Josh Berry into some better finishes. After that, legendary wrestler Magnum T.A. describes the circumstances surrounding the car wreck that almost took his life, and still affects him to this day. In Dirty Air this week, Dale Jr. reacts to the news that Carson Hocevar will run a throwback scheme of his dad's — and it just so happens to be Jr.'s favorite paint scheme of the Intimidator's. Speaking of favorites, our favorite power couple came back from spring break, so you know Dale & Amy have tons to discuss about skiing, falling, and laughing all the way. Lastly, Jeff Gluck interviewed Ricky Stenhouse Jr. to get some insight on what goes into (and comes out of) throwing a punch, after Daniel Suarez & Ross Chastain almost got physical on pit road last weekend. Now that's a show if you ask us! Enjoy the show and tune in next time to hear the very best from what Dirty Mo Media has to offer. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dale and Amy are back with a chaotic, story-packed episode after a busy stretch on the road, featuring a rough morning scramble, a forehead injury that ends with a Peppa Pig band-aid, and some wild kid antics involving scissors and scabs. Plus, the Dirty Shirley drink of the week sparks a hilarious conversation about getting older and how your body starts doing unexpected things. They also recap their family ski trip in Colorado, from first-time skiing and a few big falls (not on the slopes) to fearless kids, chair lift struggles, and a tubing trip that turns into a full-on “ask for the manager” moment. Add in a dentist visit that somehow requires a chaperone, a missed tooth fairy situation, and a fun round of Ask Amy, and you’ve got an episode full of laughs, parenting moments, and plenty of chaos.

If you’ve ever tuned in to watch Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the Download before, you might have noticed some professional wrestling action figures in the studio backdrop. On this week’s episode, Dale Jr. has the opportunity to sit down with the likeness of one of these figurines: the legendary Magnum T.A. Dale has often shared his love for professional wrestling while growing up, watching on Saturday mornings after cartoon matinees had concluded. It was through this programming that he took notice of Magnum and Dusty Rhodes, as well as the other icons of the 1980s independent scene. Magnum, whose real name is Terry Wayne Alan, explains that although he was a semi-successful wrestler on the collegiate level, he never dreamed of being a professional. His path into the sport came through a bartending gig he had while attending school in the Chesapeake, Virginia area. His training took him to the Pacific Northwest, where he’d forge a friendship with the legendary Andre the Giant, who was responsible for creating the Magnum T.A. persona. Terry would be on a fast track to becoming the World Heavyweight Champion when a tragic 1986 car crash changed his life forever. He and Dale talk about the state of wrestling in the 80s, unlikely paths in life, and having to give up something you love before you’re ready.

This one is locked, loaded, and ready to rip. Dale Jr. starts us off with a conversation around the NOAPS driver making a lot of waves recently: Corey Day. He describes the conversation he had with the young racer, how the team dynamics work between JRM and Hendrick Motorsports, and what he sees happening moving forward with Day. Next up, Denny Hamlin talks about the wreck he didn't realize he caused, which resulted in Connor Zilisch going for (another) spin in COTA's turn one. He goes on to praise the driver of the No. 88 and says SVG might not have it so easy on the road courses this year, thanks to his new teammate. In another supercharged segment, Karsyn Elledge describes her point of view from the volatile CARS Tour victory lane.

On this episode of Bless Your ‘Hardt, Dale and Amy dive into the little things in life that somehow turn into big debates. From the phrase “I’m just saying” and whether it softens a comment or just makes it more annoying, to the Drink of the Week presented by High Rock Vodka, sparking a discussion about lychee and herbs in drinks. Amy also recaps a trip to the beach house that turned into a series of funny parenting moments and restaurant adventures with the girls (be for real… who is still putting gum under the table?!). Later, Dale admits he’s been completely consumed by organizing his old trading cards from the late ’80s and early ’90s, proving once again how quickly a hobby can turn into an all-out project. The conversation bounces from kids discovering video games and birthday party chaos to the many spellings of common names and a surprisingly serious debate about how to spell “I’m’ll”… or is it “imol”? A poll may be needed to settle this one. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. welcomes Cleetus McFarland back to the Download on the heels of his polarizing NASCAR Trucks Series debut. The beloved YouTube-content creator and part-time ARCA competitor joins the show to share some big news: he’s moving up in the world of stock car racing. McFarland explains that he recently received an offer to join Richard Childress Racing for select O’Reilly Auto Parts Series starts over the next two seasons. The team is eager to work with McFarland to help give him proper seat-time experience and training to help unlock the racer he has shown glimpses of being. He will take his next step at an upcoming test at Rockingham before making his series debut at the track on April 4th. Cleetus recently garnered negative attention when he crashed out early from his Trucks series debut at Daytona, a move brought on by a lack of experience and lap time. Dale Jr. explains that while he is moving quickly into his racing career, the incident has happened to even veteran racers such as himself. He goes on to reassure Cleetus that the training and education he’ll receive at RCR will expedite his growth as a racer, giving him information he’d never be able to gain in the ARCA ranks. The guys also discuss the inherent danger that comes along with Cleetus’ stunt work, the prospect of going late model racing, and even share a little liver mush snack.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with one of the most accomplished open-wheel racers in history, three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti. After elevating through the karting ranks of Scotland and taking on the lower formula divisions in Europe, Dario set his sights on the US racing scene, specifically the Championship Auto Racing Teams series. Once stateside, Dario explains his journey wasn’t easy, and he initially struggled until joining Barry Green’s organization. Dario would have a breakout year in 2007, winning his first Indianapolis 500 and the IndyCar Series championship, but through all the success, he felt his motivation waning, and he was ready for the next challenge. The next challenge came in an unlikely form: NASCAR. Through a deal with Chip Ganassi, Dario would plunge into the world of stock car racing with both feet, taking on the Cup grid in 2008 full-time. The endeavor would be ill-fated, and before long, Dario was back behind the wheel of an IndyCar, where he began a dynasty championship run. This incredible in-depth interview dives deep into the heartbreak of losing loved ones in motorsports, the severity of head injuries, and the difficulty of walking away from competitive racing.

Dale’s dipping his toe into the world of sports trading cards… and Amy’s already bracing for a full-blown obsession. The Drink of the Week doesn’t win Dale over (unless it’s extra dirty), and a new slang term making the rounds in their friend group sparks some unexpected self-reflection, and maybe calls a few people out. They also address the 2027 Daytona 500 rumors and recap their Disney Cruise, complete with a Haunted Mansion bar and a Medusa moment that got a little too real, and a few teenage decisions involving skipped school and questionable judgment that absolutely would not hold up today. In #AskAmy, they debate the ideal number of nights in Key West, the go-to hangover breakfast, pets their kids will never be allowed to have, and take a trip down memory lane to Dale’s MTV Cribs house.
