Carson Hocevar: I’d Rather Fail at 100% Than Ride Around Safe Jul 09, 2025

Show notes

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

Becoming Earnhardt 1980 Vol. 5 - Dale vs. Cale Jul 06, 2025

Show notes

Dale Earnhardt has been leading the NASCAR Cup season points for most of 1980, but it hasn’t been smooth sailing. In fact, stock car legends Richard Petty, Bobby Allison, and Cale Yarborough have all been within striking distance at one point or another, but attrition has kept the field even. Engine failures, crashes, injuries, and team disharmony have plagued everyone in the Cup garage, and it appears the 1980 crown will come down to whoever can manage the chaos best. And thanks to Jake Elder’s untimely departure, Dale has to depend on a young, inexperienced, newly promoted Doug Richert to help keep things on track.

As the season wages on, the championship contest really comes down to two: Dale and Cale. The two can’t stop finding each other on track, and things are getting tense. This will be Dale’s first real taste at a Cup series rivalry, and neither driver is willing to back down. Dale is going to again pick up back-to-back wins, including a triumphant hometown victory in Charlotte, but a disastrous showing in Rockingham allows Cale to close in as the season winds to a close.

Josh Snider: Pranks, Parties & Life As Dale Jr's Roommate Jul 02, 2025

Show notes

It’s a trip down memory lane this week as Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with his long-time best friend Josh Snider on the Dale Jr. Download. Josh is one of the original "Dirty Mo Posse" members and has a brand on his arm to prove it. It's an episode of never-before-told stories from their young and wild days.

The guys originally met at a mutual friend’s party in the late 90s and soon after became inseparable. The two shared a double-wide trailer where they raised all kinds of hell. From there, “Camp Chaos” was born, and the two would live out their 20s having house parties and enjoying Dale’s budding success as he progressed in his NASCAR career.

Josh recalls his first encounters with Dale Earnhardt Sr. and how intimidating the Intimidator truly was. The two relive their hilarious prank war, which culminated in 2,000 crickets being placed in Josh’s bedroom and a fake pregnancy test spooking Dale. The conversation also details an epic road trip to pick up TJ Majors and help him move to North Carolina, Josh’s career doing PR for Martin Truex Jr., and how Josh got into the motorhome manufacturing industry.

Becoming Earnhardt 1980 Vol. 4 - Jake Packs His Suitcase Jun 29, 2025

Show notes

Imagine being a sophomore, leading the NASCAR points with Richard Petty, Darrell Waltrip and Cale Yarborough breathing down your neck. That was Dale Earnhardt’s reality in May of 1980. He and the Osterlund Team are fresh off back-to-back wins in hot pursuit of more trophies, but the competition is heating up. The young outfit gets a lesson in stock car excellence from Buddy Baker and Waddell Wilson, as Dale has a rematch with the Gray Ghost at Talladega. After a quiet race at Nashville and an engine failure at Dover, things begin boiling over in the 2-car’s garage.

As the Cup Series returns home for World 600 weekend, there was a tension you could cut with a knife between team management and legendary crew chief Jake Elder. The decision is made to turn their focus away from their Cup program to run the Mello Yello 300 Late Model Sportsman race, and Jake declares he’s had enough. To make matters worse, the weekend proves disastrous when a cut tire dashes Dale’s hopes of a hometown victory and slashes his points lead in half. The next day, Dale and the Osterlund team get a harsh reminder of why they call Jake Elder: “Suitcase”.

Bless Your 'Hardt - Roller Coasters, Farts & is Brunch Overrated? Jun 26, 2025

Show notes

Dale and Amy are back after a successful trip to Pocono over the weekend and are now enjoying the beach. After telling people last week about losing her phone, fans responded with places they’ve lost their phone. Dale and Amy took the girls to Pocono with them over the weekend and enjoyed a trip to Hersheypark. The weekend was capped off with a win for Dale as the crew chief for Connor Zilisch. Who created the phrase “Yacht Rock”?

Dale had an urge for Fruit Rollups the other day, and that took them down memory lane, thinking about nostalgic snacks.

Then, Dale and Amy discuss if brunch is overrated, if captions on TV are allowed, if avocados are good, are adults allowed to wear graphic t-shirts, and more.

Plus, Ask Amy:

How does it feel to be the wife of a winning crew chief
What was it like taking the girls to Victory Lane
What was your first car, and was it the same car you took your driver’s test in
Do they still use their treehouse
Parenting tips for a toddler and newborn
