    Thank you Dale Jr!
    Thank you for all the great content, don’t ever stop racing. I am 33 and yet to be able financially to get in a race car but one day I am going to get in one and I probably won’t ever get out. I respect the heck out of everything you do for our great sport on all levels. Come run some more races at tri county!

    Love the download, not so much the spin offs
    I love tuning in, but I’m not a fan of sneaking in episodes of reloaded or speed street. I get they probably aren’t as popular. But it’s a let down to think you’re tuning into to hear Jr and that’s not the case.

    I am begging Jr to get iracing to scan a dying track
    First off, love the show. The wide variety of guests and the way Dale sounds like he’s just chopping it up with an old friend is always fun to hear! I have to ask publicly if Dale could convince the iRacing guys to preserve Memphis Raceway. Such a unique track is about to disappear forever and I know how much he loves to preserve racing history through iRacing. Cheers and thanks for the many years of content!

    Bass noise
    I love the show have listened to every show since Dale has been hosting. It was never an Earnhardt fan during either career, big or little E. But Dale Jr love of the history of the sport, really opened my eyes. Since Dale has been recording from his remote studio there is a bass noise noticeable more so in my vehicle than AirPod.

    Dale Jr.
    Dale Jr. has always been my favorite driver since he was in the Oreo Cookie car and winning the championship. We shared October 10th together. Love listening to your podcast from Tennessee.

    Katelyn Larson and Kelley Miller saved my marriage!
    I’ve grew up obsessed with NASCAR, my wife however was not a fan. Couldn’t stand to listen to it or watch it unless Kyle Larson won in which she only cared to see Katelyn shotgun a beer! I bought us tickets to Atlanta this spring with track passes. From the fan zone, on track concert, driver introductions, and race she had a blast. We later spent two days in Charolette for fan day going to HMS, RCR, DEI, and Jr Motorsports where she got to meet Kelley and get a pic with our daughter. Forever thankful for Kelley taking the time to do that as now we watch the download every day it drops and if there’s a race on, we’re tuned in!

    Loved the show!
    I have always loved this show, but the Mark Martin episode hit different. Mark was my Dad and I’s favorite driver growing up. His knowledge about his car and set up was incredible. And an excellent job with the questions from Jr as always. Keep it up!

    Not fans, going then a BIG FAN
    I’ve taken many people to NASCAR races that had never watched a race. I’d say 95% of them have followed NASCAR ever since their live experience. There is nothing like being there in person. The rumble, smell of tires & gas and the noise is one like no other.

    Episode 550 ask Junior
    I was struck by the question about Dale’s ride at Michigan that broke the losing streak because I went to the Unser Racing Museum the last day it was located here in Albuquerque. As I was going through the long list of Unser vehicles of display I came across 2 of Dale’s rides; first was one of the #8 Bud cars and the other was the 2012 Michigan ride

    Mark Martin
    I was so pumped about Mark Martin being the guest this week, but when it was over I was bummed. No one born after the 1980s will know what any of this stuff is about. It was interesting, but I think I speak for us all when the Mark Martin we want to hear, is after he left Roush. I love you Dale and as your biggest fan, I’ll still be honest with you! I sure would have loved to have a part 2 when you got back from vacation, but waiting 2 years feels like torture.

    Show needs better
    Shiw cuts off in mid sentence at the end . Love the show but whoever is editing needs to do better.

    Mike Davis
    People do not understand how much time and effort Mike Davis puts into this company. Without Mike, Jr is just another grumpy team owner avoiding the spotlight and giving the occasional sound bite at the track. Mike gave him a voice. A voice people listen to and trust. An opinion that resonates with the fans as well as nascar brass. Jr keeps the old fans around and educates the new fans. He makes things happen because of his stature. This does not happen without Mike creating DirtyMo Media and the continued innovations. He is the unknowingly savior of nascar. Thank you Mike Davis.
  • RLRUF86
    Love the new show!
    Way better without Mike, good guy, just not good on the show.

    Abandoning the Amish
    Wait, they can't even go watch a race to see your team perform? I suppose that would be like idolizing technology or at least allowing their family to go out and idolize leaving the community. I kind of get it, but you don't have to avert your eyes from the cars that pass, do you? I'm just a man of no faith so I couldn't understand.
  • The15car
    Better without the frat guy
    Show is much better since they got rid of the frat guy. Dale is a very good interviewer. Rarely lets a point pass without getting the full detail. “So I was running a late model…” “What kind of car was it? What did it look like? What was the valve lash?”
  • Local Race Fan NC
    Marlin Yoder and Casey Atwood
    Dale’s interviews are always excellent. The last two weeks with Marlin and Casey were really compelling. I feel like both were able to discuss things they would not have been comfortable talking about with just anyone. Being an introvert myself, I can really relate to Casey.

    A Voice for Literature
    We’ve all heard of somebody having a face for radio, well DJD crew member Andrew Kurkand has a voice for literature. I wish I could say I loved this new version of the show as much as I did years in the past, but sadly without Mike there, it’s taken a step back for me. I find the younger guys to be a little less confrontational to Dale and challenge his opinion far less than Mike so we end up with these “old guy rants” and the kids are just laughing at him. It doesn’t help that Andrew Kurland has one of the most annoying voices I’ve ever heard. I’m sure Mike will never come back so I’ll learn to live with it but I’m looking forward to the day when somebody else takes Andrew’s spot in the studio. All in all the show is still largely entertaining but it really has lost some of its firepower with Mike leaving the show. Sorry Dale. Still love ya. (Wednesday show is still absolutely phenomenal)

    DJD Reloaded
    1. DJD Reloaded needs to be its own channel/podcast. 2. DJD Reloaded needs to be on YT like it was as of a few weeks ago. I watch as much as I can on YT, DJD Reloaded is the only one that I follow that’s not… And to have to comb through the shows I’ve watched vs the ones that aren’t on YT is annoying.
  • CPTN EXPLOSION
    Bring back Mike Davis
    I know he has stepped away to take a more active role in the company but he needs to at least be on the weekend reaction show. The dynamic on Dale and Mike commenting on the race weekend is what kept me entertained. Dull and bored as of late.

    Leaving Amish
    Wow. I have loved just about all your episodes but this one is in your top 5. Fascinating story! You did an awesome job talking with him and getting him to open up. Keep up the good work!

    Marlin Yoder
    Loved the Marlin Yoder podcast one of your best ones. So interesting to hear how he got out of the Amish community. He’s a very talented man, and will go far.
  • Tdubjp
    Marlin Yoder
    Wow! Thank you for having this chat with Marlin. Such an interesting story about an inspiring, courageous and hard-working young man. I am excited to hear about the rest of his journey and see what he will accomplish.

    Really enjoyed the Marlin Yoder interview. Amazing

    The Perry’s
    Man, I had tears rolling down my cheeks listening to that interview with Richard and Kyle. Brought back so many memories. I was born in Daytona in 1964 and I’ve lived here my whole life, and Richard Petty really was the king. Thank you for that.
  • noleguts noleglory
    Improved
    Bubba pollard interview was better. Fewer interruptions. Dale still needs another character on the Tuesday show

    Missing the old ways
    Meh. I liked it better before. The new format isn’t for me. Now I only listen when JR is in his chair. Hopefully it’ll grow on me.

    Tom Dooley
    Hang Down Your Head, Tom Dooley is old folk song. (1958). Your older fans, like me, used to hear this as a youngster. Js. Love you though. I MISS MIKE DAVIS! Please let him sit in on a show soon! Thank you!

    A Beer and a Chase-r!
    If you didn’t like Chase Elliott before his interview on DJD (and who didn’t), you will now. This was by no means dynamic or riveting, but it was more akin to two guys at the bar sharing stories. That’s what made it so powerful. Dale has a way of just talking with people and not interviewing them. He makes his guests feel comfortable even when talking about uncomfortable things. Chase is very hard on himself, but Dale was able to bring out the hope and joy that Chase rarely shows to the media. This show is such a welcomed distraction from taking care of my mother with dementia. I am so blessed to be able to listen every week. Thank you Dirty Mo Media for all you do that you don’t even realize.
  • Johnny3eb
    Thursday shows aren't good
    I understand that you're experimenting with your Thursday production (based upon the rotating hosts/guests). But the Thursday shows are a significant downgrade from last year.
  • dlatk64
    Love the show and have a request
    I’ve been listening to the DJD for years and it is always interesting. I love the interviews because y’all have a way of getting people to talk. Now the request…can you use that magical talent of pulling info (and truth) out of people and bring in someone from Goodyear to discuss tires? Seems like a good time to do that given the Bristol race tonight. I’m not sure I think this was all on Goodyear, but would like their perspective on the race as well as hearing about the process of designing and testing compounds/tires for different tracks at different times of year.

    Best NASCAR podcast in a while
    I do lawn care and when I just want something to listen to during racing season I can always trust there is a new episode. I love the funny stories they tell and how he is not bias about his team.
  • Landrum Springs
    I miss Mike!!!
    Mike should at least come back now and the

    Boring
    Bring back Mike Davis. Dale’s voice makes me tired. Content is starting to become lame. Low quality in high quantity. Sorry not sorry

    Dirty Air with Ryan McGee
    I’ve not heard much from Ryan prior to this podcast, this was great. I’m going to check out more of his material. Thanks 👍
  • Kim fat un
    The best show in the game!!
    I started listening to this podcast few years ago and it has brought me back to racing, life long racing fan kinda got away from it for a few years. Thanks you, you guys put on the best show and love listening to the old racers and crew members tell their stories, part of history most never get the opportunity to learn about.
  • Dustin McMurray64
    Ryan McGee
    He was a perfect fill in. Enjoyed his knowledge and history with the sport! Never knew McGee was that big into NASCAR back in the day. Just bought the audio book after hearing McGee. Awesome host. A+
  • eps1969
    Good… but..
    STOP INTERRUPTING YOUR GUESTS! Waddell Wilson was one of your worst.
  • TDIowa
    Truly a Legend
    Wow! Where do you start a interview with a legend like Waddell. Hardly scratched the surface of all he has done. Will there be a Part 2?

    IROC
    Great show again! I hope the IROC racing makes it back. My first car was a black 1986 IROC-Z. Would love to watch great drivers in equal cars again.

    NEED MIKE DAVIS BACK
    Dale can hold his own. Need Mike back for the Thursday show at the least!

    Ray is such an awesome motivational speaker, Great episode. Keep them coming.
  • Zac8588
    Top notch
    After the first week, wasn’t sure about the podcast without Mike to call Dale out. Amy on the other hand seems like the only person who will without a doubt tell Dale how it is. Great to have her as a guest host and hope they bring in some more.
  • Carman scott
    More Amy!!!
    Ok! Maybe I’m a homer. More Amy. Mike Davis is gone. Dale needs the back and forth. It makes the podcast higher quality. I vote for Amy. She has the ability to get inside Dales head! She is super smart and NASCAR savvy. She has awesome input. If we can’t have Mike Davis. We need Amy Earnhardt! Great Pod either way. My favorite driver turned into my favorite listening!
  • Hammer Wedge
    Great podcast - Thanks for reading my review
    Love the changes to the format. Former review - Only feedback: Less Dilner, Less Davis, more Leah. Thanks for reading this on the podcast! Jake
  • Jack Melton
    Podcast and interviews
    This podcast is amazing and I discovered it during Covid. It has renewed my love of nascar along with motor sports in general. Wednesdays are my favorites with the interviews y’all do. That being said I miss the intro to them from 2023. It would get me pumped! Thank you for the show and it gives me a taste of home as I miss southern accents specifically NC from someone that lives in Sicily .
  • Firedk
    Great show.
    I really enjoyed todays show.
  • Ricky388
    Love the show
    As a lifelong NASCAR fan as well as a lifelong Dale Jr fan, I will entertain anything Dale Jr stamps his name on. Been that way since I was a kid. The show is an excellent representation of NASCAR. Love the guest segments, the history lessons that come with all of them. I’ve been wanting to get involved in some aspect of the sport. As it is one of my deepest passions. Located in central Missouri, I try to go to as many NASCAR events as possible. Just an idea I have had in my head, I would love the opportunity to be a guest speaker for the show as a fans perspective. I know it’s a far fetched idea, but a shot not taken is a shot missed. Would love to hear back. Ricky Livingston.

    The Marty Smith episode
    Just listened to the first download of the season with Marty Smith and I loved it! Great to hear how things all got started for Marty. I’ve always loved and respected his talent! Great download🧡
