Amy Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr. are back in the studio for another Bless Your ‘Hardt and this week we’re covering it all, from theme party chaos to the end of an internet era. Amy’s got a spicy party idea that sends Dale into a story about the wildest places people have ever wanted an autograph (yes, it’s exactly what you think). Then we pour one out for AOL dial-up because watching something be born and die in our lifetime is a little emotional, okay? Plus, we play another round of Gen Z slang and dive into all your #AskAmy questions.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. welcomes in one of the more polarizing stars of IndyCar, Santino Ferrucci. The two discuss his upbringing, path to IndyCar, making waves & how he is rewriting his reputation. After being heralded as a prodigy in the karting world, Santino ventured into the Formula racing ladder, traveling to Europe during his adolescent years. He would make a strong impression, progress into GP3 and even become a reserve driver for the Haas Formula One team before controversy would bring his career to a crossroads. Santino explains that a series of unfortunate incidents left him in hot water with his team and the FIA stewards, and as a result he didn’t see a path forward to Formula One. Santino began picking up races with Dale Coyne Racing in the IndyCar Series. Santino would become a full-time IndyCar racer in 2019. Dale Jr. explains it was at that year’s running of the Indianapolis 500 that he first became aware of Santino, and his impressive 7th place finish that brought him Rookie of the Race accolades helped get his career trajectory back on track. Dale Jr. and Santino unpack the differences in on-track etiquette between NASCAR, IndyCar and other forms of motorsports, and how IndyCar’s roster being made up of racers from all over the world can lead to clashes. In recent years, Santino has become a part of the AJ Foyt Racing team and he speaks to the pressure he faces competing for such a legend of the sport. Santino explains that he hopes to help restore the team to its former glory and win races in the coming years to be part of its legacy. Plus, the two discuss Santino’s brief stint in the NASCAR world, and whether or not he’d come back to stock cars one day.

Amy Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr. are back in the Dirty Mo Studio for another episode of Bless Your ‘Hardt. On today’s show, Amy and Dale talk about back-to-school shopping for Isla and Nicole, and we reminisce about school supplies in the '80s and '90s. Then, Amy shares how Nicole managed to get gum stuck in her hair, Dale recalls a time as a teenager when he stole cigarettes, and tells us why he’s super into inspiring quotes now. Plus, we asked Grok to see who the most famous person to look at our profile was and we have another hilarious #AskAmy segment!

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with Ryan Preece, driver of the RFK Racing 60 Cup car, on this episode of the Download. They talk about Ryan's authentic path to the Cup Series, his 2025 race for the Playoffs, what it's like to flip in a car, and much more. After growing up in a racing family in Connecticut, Ryan ventured into his racing career through quarter midgets and micro sprints. After experiencing early success, he took a chance driving a tour-type modified when he was 14 years old. He immediately took to the car, and his father soon acquired a 1993 Troyer chassis. Since the minimum racing age in Connecticut was 16, Ryan explains he and his father began traveling to Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Florida to get more seat time and experience. This time and effort paid off, and in 2008, Ryan began winning high-profile modified races, including the famed NASCAR Whelen Modified event at Martinsville. Ryan would go on to win the 2013 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Championship, and through longtime car owner Tommy Baldwin, he began getting opportunities in the Xfinity and Cup series. He recalls a time he had to raise a large amount of money to have the opportunity to drive some select races for Joe Gibbs in Xfinity, which led to him winning at Iowa in 2017, which he considers to be a life-changing moment. In 2019, Kevin Harvick would help Ryan find a full-time Cup opportunity with JTG Daugherty Racing, replacing AJ Allmendinger. When the ride would shut down at the end of the 2021 season, Ryan again bet on himself and returned to the Trucks and Xfinity ranks, winning races to generate more opportunities in the upper ranks. This came at Stewart-Haas Racing in 2023, driving the 41 Cup ride. When SHR ceased operation after the 2024 season, Ryan received a call from Brad Keselowski about running a third car at RFK Racing, where he has consistently impressed throughout the 2025 season.

Dale recalls several instances of Boo traveling to Charlotte for race weekends, and how he became friends with many of Dale’s close friends during those trips. Boo’s professional career came about after he had given up on playing golf. He explains that while he was working as a hydroblaster at the Monsanto plant in Pensacola, he was convinced by longtime friend Heath Slocum to attend a local tournament. He ended up winning and quickly declared himself “professional,” and began collecting sponsorship to enter larger, higher-paying events. Boo became a fan favorite on the PGA Tour thanks to his memorable nickname and down-to-earth personality. After taking some time away from the sport due to injuries, he is now back full-time playing with the PGA Tour Champions And for more content check out our YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@DirtyMoMedia Dirty Mo Media is launching a new e-commerce merch line!

Dale Earnhardt and Cale Yarborough surely won’t be exchanging Christmas cards in 1980. The three-time champion has had quite enough of the overzealous sophomore from Kannapolis, but as the season comes to a close, he continues to stand in the way of crown number four for Cale and the Junior Johnson team. Dale and the Osterlund team are going to have a difficult day in Atlanta, and his late race effort to gain his lap back will bring his rivalry with Cale to its absolute breaking point. The two exchange blows in the media, and the points margin stands at 29 as they head to Ontario, California for the season finale. Before making the trip out west, Dale is going to ink a sponsorship deal that he will become synonymous with for most of the 1980s: Wrangler Jeans. With a major brand behind him and his future secured in a five-year deal with Osterlund, the sophomore needs to go into the last race of the season and perform. Wouldn't you know it, Dale and Cale lock up the front row for the race at Ontario, and the dash for the 1980 championship is on. Will it be four-time championship glory for Cale, or can Dale Earnhardt become the first driver in NASCAR history to win a championship in his sophomore season after being crowned Rookie of the Year?

After that, we play a new game called "Poetry For Neanderthals" - a game where you must only use one-syllable words to describe the key word you are trying to get your partner to guess. This leads to one of the funniest stories we've heard yet from our very own Dale Earnhardt Jr. - the curious case of a hamster's broken heart.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with one of the most polarizing figures in the NASCAR Cup garage, Carson Hocevar, on this week’s episode of the Dale Jr. Download. Carson has become known for his unique approach to Cup stardom, be it weird hats or streaming on iRacing during rain delays. He fills Dale in on what drives this approach, specifically how he managed to get an iRacing rig onto the Spire Motorsports hauler, and how he has even gone into the garage after hours to sim race. Dale and Carson discuss social media content and their respective styles of creation. Carson recently came into hot water for comments he made on a stream surrounding the NASCAR trip to Mexico City. The guys discuss Carson’s growth from the incident and how this is part of the process of growing up in the spotlight. Carson talks about his path to the Cup Series, which began at home in Michigan in the quarter midget division. He explains that through help from former NASCAR driver Johnny Benson, he found his way into the late model world, and eventually landed a ride with Niece Motorsports in the Truck Series. Dale and Carson discuss his time at Spire Motorsports and how he seems to be helping the team elevate to the next level, as he has found himself running at the front this season in contention for wins. The interview also covers some of Carson’s on-track incidents, learning to rein in his aggression, and his social life amongst other race drivers Arby’s: Arby’s Cheesesteak is Here!
