The Dale Jr. Download

Kevin Harvick knows that he wouldn’t have the life he does today without grassroots asphalt racing – but current and future generations may not have the same opportunities.

Today, Kevin joins the Dale Jr Download to explain his plan to rebuild grassroots short track racing under the CARS Tour banner, and how his passion to help other drivers build brands and successful careers is what continues to fuel him during retirement from NASCAR.

Since retiring from full-time Cup Series driving, Harvick says he’s busier than ever, and he walks through how his management business and hands-on work with the tour have grown. The CARS Tour is expanding nationally with new tours across the country, plus the CARS STARS Super Tour.

Harvick explains why short track racing became so fragmented over the past two decades and how one set of rules could give racers a clear path forward. He also covers how to get drivers to promote themselves, and what teams can realistically earn. The conversation then turns personal, with Harvick talking about racing late model stocks, learning to compete without worrying about results, and racing against his son Keelan. Dale wraps up with a recap of the new CARS Tour structure so fans can see how every series fits together.

Breaking news….Carson Hocevar is suspended for Homestead and Dale came back in studio to react to the news.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming. Dale and TJ are back in the studio to break down a wild weekend at Martinsville, including the controversial brake-checking incidents involving Carson Hocevar and Josh Berry, the racing product, and if long green flag runs mean it was a 'bad race.'

Plus, the guys dive into Dodge's return to the Cup Series in 2027, what it will take to get the manufacturer competitive, and why Kaulig Racing could be the perfect fit. Also, why isn't NASCAR handing out charters to the new OEM? Dale breaks down why it's more complicated than you think.

Dale and TJ also break down Justin Allgaier's recent announcement, the O'Reilly Series championship picture headed into Homestead, and wrap it all up with another edition of Dirty Mo Dough and Ask Jr.

We’re back in studio for another round of Bless Your ‘Hardt, and Amy has a question that requires a call to Ryan Blaney.

After dressing up as Alan Jackson, Amy can’t figure out how anyone eats with a mustache. Dale gets Blaney on the phone, and his answer confirms it’s just as much work as she suspected.

Dale shares stories from his Ohio hunting trip, including a brand-new Crock-Pot that shattered the moment he unboxed it and a hunting blind with wasps buzzing around that he decided to sit in anyway. Amy is switching to a fake Christmas tree and asking Dale to keep his giant Sharpie away from her presents.

Plus, Ask Amy settles how long you have to wait before posting about a movie, whether leftovers are fair game, and how many times is too many on the snooze button.

Plug in the aux, headphones, or surround sound — it's time to get into some Dirty Thirty! This week's best moments from Dirty Mo Media include: Dale's Zane-Hocevar thoughts, Jimmie Johnson's first wave around, and the Red Clay Strays on the business of Nashville.

First up, although a penalty has already been issued for Zane Smith, Dale Jr. shared his thoughts on how he didn't care for the contact Zane Smith initiated after the race with Hocevar, especially with the injuries we've seen in the Next Gen car.

Over in the land of Door Bumper Clear, 7-Time Champion Jimmie Johnson joined this week, and Tommy shares his view from the neighboring pit box when he had to coach Chad Knaus on how to take the wave around... because the 48 team was just that good!

On Actions Detrimental, Denny Hamlin has had the same feeling a few Mondays in a row, and he lets all his frustration out after Phoenix.

And lastly, The Red Clay Strays joined Dale Jr. for a guest interview where they discussed their hit song "Wondering Why," their writing process, and why they don't want to fall into a formula as a band.

Amy and Dale are back with another episode of Bless Your ’Hardt!

This week, Dale learns that if something is above Amy’s eye level, it might as well not exist.

The two recap a late night with the Red Clay Strays and Tim Dugger. Dale spent the next day on the couch, while Amy survived a field trip hungover.

Amy reveals whose celebrity closet she’d raid (Sydney Sweeney’s, since they’re the same size, or Gwyneth Paltrow’s for her style). Dale finally explains his problem with “still or sparkling” water.

Plus, Dale can’t remember the last time he washed his sweatpants. Luckily, Amy’s been washing them.

All this and more are in this week’s episode of Bless Your ’Hardt.

This week, Dale Earnhardt Jr. gets an up-close look at one of the most meteoric rises in music as he sits down with the Red Clay Strays. Hailing from Mobile, Alabama, the band cut their teeth playing covers along the Gulf Coast, including packed nights at Charlotte’s own Thirsty Beaver, before building a catalog of original songs. Thanks to their single “Wondering Why” and a viral performance on the Western AF video series, they went from dive bars to amphitheaters to arenas in a matter of years. Their latest album reunited them with Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb, continuing to define their brand of Southern rock-informed country music.

Dale has been a fan for years and invited the band to headline his Driven to Give charity event for the Dale Jr. Foundation. They agreed to play a full show and turned down payment. Dale asks what it’s like to spend half the year on the road together, the pressure of supporting a 50-person crew, and how more success means more work behind the scenes. The guys also open up about their faith, recording live with Dave Cobb, AI deepfakes of the band (and the trading cards with AI-written bios about the wrong people), and their tour of Hendrick Motorsports with Rick Hendrick himself.

Dale Jr. and the crew recap Phoenix with just three races left in the championship battle. They get into Kyle Larson’s struggles, Christopher Bell closing in on the points lead, and the incidents between Riley Herbst and Michael McDowell, along with Zane Smith and Carson Hocevar. Dale explains why he believes NASCAR needs to draw a line when it comes to post-race contact, especially when drivers are hitting each other at 130 mph.

With Talladega up next, Dale wants to see Denny Hamlin take more chances and get back to the way he used to race at superspeedways. TJ has a different take on how much the Next Gen car limits drivers, and the guys debate what it takes to make moves and stay in the championship fight.

Tyler Reddick joins the show to talk about his Phoenix win, how his team has found speed on long runs, and the strategy that could make a difference at Talladega. He also opens up about how much the demands of racing have changed with less practice time and more work behind the scenes.

Plus, Dale shares his latest college football obsession after pulling a Bear Bachmeier autograph card, the guys make their Talladega picks on Dirty Mo Dough, and Dale answers your questions on Ask Jr. They also talk about JRM’s plans for Talladega and an upcoming Whatnot auction featuring some cool pieces from Dale’s storage unit.
