Dale Jr. and Amy are back with another episode of Bless Your ‘Hardt, and things get real interesting. Dale’s fired up about the studio chairs, Amy’s dealing with Tooth Fairy struggles, and somehow, Dale’s convinced he has an “iron gut.” Plus, the Earnhardt's have some new pets, attempt the whisper challenge, and tackle some of the wildest fan questions yet.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. welcomes longtime NASCAR Cup crew and car chief Tony Gibson to the Download to learn about his path from the short tracks of the Southeast to stock car glory. Growing up in a racing household, in the shadows of Daytona International Speedway, Tony began working on his father Bo Gibson’s cars at an early age. Tony’s older brothers Mark and Pepe also began racing at local strongholds like New Smyrna and Jacksonville and found lots of success at the late model level. Tony explains that Mark’s career advancing into the ARCA and Busch Grand National ranks is what helped get his foot in the door of the NASCAR world. And before long he moved from his family home in Florida to North Carolina to work with Norman Negre -- It was there that Tony made Alan Kulwicki’s acquaintance. Eventually he would follow Alan, from renting part of the Negre shop, to his own AK Racing outfit, where he’d work for several years.
 

Tony talks about the challenges of working with Alan and the major triumph of winning the 1992 NASCAR Cup Championship as an independent team. He also opens up about the tragic plane crash that claimed Alan’s life and how it changed the culture of the team and NASCAR garage forever. Tony would leave for Georgia, working with Bill Elliott for a time before reuniting with Ray Evernham at Hendrick Motorsports at the famed 24 team. Dale and Tony also discuss his years spent at Dale Earnhardt Inc., Stewart-Haas Racing and his current position at HMS working at Hendrick Tech Solutions.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. welcomes the highly requested Carl Edwards on the show to discuss why he retired after 2016, settling old scores between the two of them, his new job at Prime Sports, and much more. After nine seasons without Carl behind the wheel, he opens up to Dale about the true reasons behind his departure, and how he knew it in his soul it was his time to leave. Dale learns about Carl’s introduction to motorsports, and what advice Carl’s cousin Ken Schrader gave him upon signing his first contract with Roush. 

Later, Dale Jr. and Edwards look back at their rocky relationship with each other as drivers, where Edwards reveals the text message from Dale that pissed him off the most. Carl reflects on his 2011 Championship run that famously ended in a tie-breaker against Tony Stewart, and the back-and-forth war of words in the media that happened before our very eyes. Carl reflects on his time at Roush Fenway Racing & Joe Gibbs Racing, and shares what kind of teammate he really was behind closed doors. Finally, Carl opens up about why he suddenly walked away from the sport following 2016’s Championship race, and how he has managed his retirement from the sport. The two also talk about what Carl has been up to these days, which includes stories of reconnected family time, to sailing through Europe without a cellphone. One of the most anticipated guests is finally here, and it was well worth the wait.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. welcomes NASCAR Truck Series pioneer Jack Sprague to the studio to learn about his humble beginnings in Michigan, and his path to becoming a NASCAR Hall of Fame nominee. After getting his start out of his uncle’s junkyard and racing street stocks in Southwest Michigan, Jack found his way into the world of late model racing, eventually taking a job at Port City Racecars. Through the help of his mother and stepfather, Jack made the move to North Carolina and began working with short track fixtures Jay Hedgecock and Rober Hamke while getting his feet planted in the scene. Hamke proved to be a great influence on Jack and taught him about setting up cars and racing technique, leading him to become one of the most successful racers at Concord Speedway and in the Big 10 Series. 

Later on, Jack became acquainted with Rick Hendrick and became a NASCAR Truck Series regular. His first truck ride came through Pee Wee Griffin, after Gary Balough was incarcerated, and he set out on the 1995 Truck schedule with a shoestring budget. Jack explains how a chance encounter with Hendrick and Tom Cruise at an afternoon test session years before, led to a favor being called in with Hendrick Motorsports to drive the famed 24 Truck. Once in the 24, Jack established one of the most prolific stints in Truck history, winning three championships and 28 races. Dale and Jack discuss his venture into the Xfinity and Cup Series, the struggle of stepping away from the sport, his rivalries over the years and, becoming a Hall of Fame nominee.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s out sick, so Amy Earnhardt's best friend Jamie Goddard takes his seat. They go way back, and in this episode, they’re spilling all the stories—some heartwarming, some hilarious, and a few that might leave you wondering how they’ve made it this far. From meeting through Kelley Earnhardt Miller to quickly becoming inseparable, their friendship turned into something more like sisterhood. They lived together, hid from Dale Jr. (not very successfully), and even had a secret name for their house’s Wi-Fi.

They reminisce about their wildest moments, including a golf cart mishap, a pool noodle fight in a Walgreens parking lot, and the time Jamie just knew Dale and Amy were meant to be. Amy also answers fan questions, including what Dale is really like when he’s sick and whether he’s ever braved the grocery store alone with their daughters.

Pour a glass of champagne and settle in—this one’s a trip.
