The Dale Jr. Download

The day the Wood Brothers let Josh Berry go, two people texted him. One was Joey Logano. The other was Riley Herbst, who had gotten “the worst call in all of motorsports” himself just two months earlier. Riley just wanted Josh to know that it gets better. And it did.
Josh went on the best stretch the Wood Brothers had seen since 1976, only to have his future questioned as soon as the results started to slip. Then, despite all of that, he ended up getting a call from Jimmie Johnson and a spot at Legacy Motor Club.
On this episode of the Dale Jr. Download, Jimmie Johnson joins Dale to talk about his two newest drivers, Riley Herbst and Josh Berry, and how Legacy’s 2027 lineup came together.
Jimmie explains why Josh’s hot streak wasn’t what made the decision for him, and why three years of data ultimately made the case. Riley talks about the long history between the Herbst family and Legacy’s ownership group, going back to off-road and stadium truck racing, and reveals the surprisingly random story behind his No. 84. Jimmie also gets into what it took for Legacy to build its own aero tools from scratch after moving away from its Joe Gibbs Racing alliance.
If you follow NASCAR, Legacy Motor Club, Jimmie Johnson as a team owner, or the 2027 silly season, this episode gives you the story behind the moves, not just the version that made the press release.

It's time to kick off the weekend, and there's no better way to do it than with the Dirty Thirty — 30 minutes of the very best of Dirty Mo Media's shows from this week. It's time for The Chase, and it's the hot topic everyone's talking about on all our podcasts.
We start with the Racing Roundtable of Dale Jr., Jeff Gluck, Jamie McMurray, and Steve Letarte, who talk about the drivers that pose the biggest threat to Denny Hamlin's lead heading into the final 10 races of the season.
Speaking of the No. 11, the driver of that hot rod, Denny Hamlin, discusses his mindset going into the playoffs and what it's going to take to come out the champion.
Next, we have Door Bumper Clear breaking down which driver has the most realistic chance of winning it all, and why Joey Logano isn't one of them.
Now that we've talked about The Chase, it's time to discuss the second biggest news coming out of Daytona — and that is the return of the iconic Tom Cruise for Days of Thunder 2. Dale Jr. and TJ go back and forth about the filming of the first movie, meeting Tom Cruise, and the details the 2nd movie just can't miss.
And lastly, Amy went for a wild ride with Cleetus in his drift car, so we had him call in to Bless Your 'Hardt to talk about the trip the Earnhardts took to the Freedom Factory.
That's all for this week! We will see you next time on the Dirty Thirty.

We're back in studio for another episode of Bless Your 'Hardt - this time with a special call-in guest.
Amy and Dale have differing opinions on how kitchen utensils should be used - but Dale has an example of how Amy did something similar with his toolbox.
Cleetus McFarland surprises everyone calling into the show to defend his outfit at Epic Chophouse, and talk about the Earnhardt's experience last week at The Freedom Factory.
Plus, Dale and Amy talk about their meeting with Tom Cruise in Daytona, how the line "rubbin's racing" got into the movie, and what they'd love to see in the new film.
