This week, Dale Earnhardt Jr. catches up with a driver who has firmly established himself as one of the top drivers in the NASCAR Cup Series, 2023 Champion Ryan Blaney. Ryan enters the studio with major news: he is signing a long-term extension with Penske Racing. He explains what his time with the team and legendary owner Roger Penske has meant to his career and how he can’t imagine himself anywhere else in racing. While Ryan currently finds himself fourth in season points, his year hasn’t been without turbulence. The guys chat about Ryan’s pit road mishap at Texas and his ongoing issues throughout the early events of the year. Ryan explains that he’s confident in the team’s speed; they just need to put all the pieces together.

Dale and Ryan share admiration for the new NASCAR points standings, which harkens back to previous favorite times in the sport. Ryan applauds the fact that race wins mean so much more under this format, and it’s no longer about being “welcomed to the Playoffs”. The guys look ahead to Watkins Glen, bond over fatherhood, ponder superspeedway packages and farm animals.

Dale, TJ, and Travis are back in studio after a chaotic weekend at Texas Motor Speedway to react and respond to all of the drama from a tripleheader weekend of NASCAR racing.

Chase Elliott joins the show after scoring his second win of the year, Ryan Preece isn’t cutting Ty Gibbs a break, and Kyle Busch took a decent day and turned it into retaliation against John Hunter Nemechek. Plus, Christopher Bell speaks out against the current superspeedway package, TJ explains Brad Keselowski’s decision to stay out at the end of stage two, and Dale is fired up once again about why this points system has him excited to tune in each and every week.

Dirty Mo Dough and Ask Jr presented by XFINITY wrap up a packed show on The Dale Jr Download.

Safe to say that this episode of Dirty Air has PLENTY of storylines to cover.

Fridays are our favorite days of the week around here — what's yours? Well, if you listen to Dirty Thirty, you might be right there with us. In just 30 minutes, we take you through a journey of topics that have the Dirty Mo Media world buzzing.

Our first stop comes in at Dale Jr. Download station, where Dale dives into the happening over at Richard Childress Racing and the news that Jim Pohlman is OUT as Kyle Busch's crew chief (although he technically got promoted...)

Next up, we travel to the moon and back — sort of. Noah Gragson and Chase Briscoe joined Door Bumper Clear and had a riot of a time. But the train really went off the rails when they got into this weekend's waxing crescent moon and how it *allegedly* affects the grip of the racetrack. We end up with Noah calling Josh Berry, Riley Herbst, & Austin Dillon to confirm the conspiracy.

Dale interrupts the show to tell you about FAN DAY on May 21st at JR Motorsports!

Back to the action of the show, Denny Hamlin chimes in on the debate stirred up by Stephen A. Smith, which entailed whether or not NASCAR drivers are considered athletes.

All the way back at the very beginning of the week, The Teardown hosted NASCAR's newest CEO, Steve O'Donnell, to talk about the future of the sport and what he plans to do with feedback.

Our closer is a popular man this week — Carson Hocevar stopped into the Arby's studio to discuss his first-ever Cup Series win, his all-time celebration, and the motion that comes with watching it back.

It's another packed episode! Don't forget to buy our merch at shop.dirtymomedia.com to rep our gear.
