Mike Davis didn't set out to run a media company – he set out to help tell Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s story. Today, he's President of Dirty Mo Media, leading a company that's grown from a single podcast into a full network of shows, live events, and branded content across NASCAR, motorsports and new verticals outside of the racing world.

In Part 1, Kelley Earnhardt Miller takes Mike back to the beginning: becoming Dale Jr.'s publicist during the Budweiser years, helping navigate the historic departure from DEI, and launching the original Dale Jr. Download with no business plan – just an instinct that NASCAR fans wanted more Dale Jr. content.

That instinct turned into Dirty Mo Media. As the company grew beyond one show, Mike made the call to move from behind the mic as co-host of the Download to behind the scenes – becoming President and eventually an equity partner, focused on building the infrastructure, team, and strategy behind DMM's expansion.

This is the story of how one NASCAR podcast became a media company, and the partnership that made it possible.

Part 2 drops next week, where Mike and Kelley go deeper on what DMM looks like today and where it's headed next

Welcome back for another episode of the Dirty Thirty — where we take the very best from Dirty Mo Media's week in content and distill it into a small batch blend of our hosts and guests.

To start us off, Dale Jr. talked about his famous 2001 win at Daytona, only a handful of months after his father passed away. He remembers the celebration, the faces, and the somber moment that came with the crowd that surrounded him.

We had a reunion of driver and crew chief this week on Door Bumper Clear! Ward Burton brings his son Jeb Burton to join in the fun with Tommy Baldwin to tell stories from the glory days, and the time Tommy told him he was leaving the No. 22 ... until he wasn't.

Denny Hamlin checks in with us about his battle with the No. 45 team, his luck, and what that means for his regular-season championship chase.

And finally, Kelley Earnhardt talks with Jeff Gluck about the business lessons she learned from her dad and how she approaches leadership today.

That's all for this week! Catch us next time on Dirty Thirty, next week.
