    Tim Dugger's Long Road to the Grand Ole Opry

    Dale Earnhardt Jr. gives listeners a closer look into one of his greatest personal friendships as he sits down with longtime country music recording artist Tim Dugger. Over the years, Tim has become known as the “NASCAR guy”, performing as a musical guest at many NASCAR events and becoming synonymous with at-track entertainment. But his path to the stage originated from humble beginnings, traveling as a church singer with his sister, jamming at local music stores with older musicians and grinding for years on the bar circuit. Tim explains the first time he ever performed at a NASCAR event, it was in a very unofficial capacity: setting up in the free camping area at Talladega with a speaker and performing for anyone that would listen. Dale Jr. and Tim’s friendship stemmed from an Austin Dillon introduction, when Austin brought Tim along for a paintballing excursion on Dale’s property. After a few beers in the basement bar, the guitar came out and Tim showcased his deep repertoire of country music classics. Tim and his wife Tara would be extended an invitation to one of Dale and Amy’s Key West trips, and the couples have been close ever since. The interview covers Dale and Tim’s shared trauma from their childhoods, some hilarious stories from the road and shared adventures in Ireland.

    What Does Spire Really Think About Hocevar's Antics?

    With the office in the rearview, it's time to set sail into the weekend and crank up the radio; Dirty Thirty is coming at you! Dale was back in the seat, Jamie McMurray can't stop laughing, and Jeff Dickerson responds to the critics — you don't want to miss it! First up, Dale Jr. made us feel like we were going back in time when he said Tony Eury Jr. built a car for him to race at Florence. Dale also revealed a little-known fact about why he races Late Model Stock Cars and how his dad influenced him to do so. Following that, there was big news for all the Josh Berry fans out there, as he joined his new team owner for 2027, Jimmie Johnson, to announce his move to Legacy Motor Club. Over on Door Bumper Clear, the fans once again made our guest laugh out loud — but we really thought Jamie wasn't going to stop laughing at this call about Freddie Kraft. The host of Actions Detrimental had a detrimental day to his points lead at Darlington, and it was all after some contact with Michael McDowell — how did Denny see it? He tells us all about it. And lastly, with Carson Hocevar back at the top of the NASCAR buzz topics this week, Jeff Gluck hosted Spire's Jeff Dickerson to discuss and rebut all the chatter about the driver of the 77, including what Denny Hamlin said about him on his show this week. Another round of Dirty Thirty has come and gone! See you next time, right here, every Friday.

    Why Jimmie Johnson Bet on Josh Berry

    The day the Wood Brothers let Josh Berry go, two people texted him. One was Joey Logano. The other was Riley Herbst, who had gotten “the worst call in all of motorsports” himself just two months earlier. Riley just wanted Josh to know that it gets better. And it did. Josh went on the best stretch the Wood Brothers had seen since 1976, only to have his future questioned as soon as the results started to slip. Then, despite all of that, he ended up getting a call from Jimmie Johnson and a spot at Legacy Motor Club. On this episode of the Dale Jr. Download, Jimmie Johnson joins Dale to talk about his two newest drivers, Riley Herbst and Josh Berry, and how Legacy’s 2027 lineup came together. Jimmie explains why Josh’s hot streak wasn’t what made the decision for him, and why three years of data ultimately made the case. Riley talks about the long history between the Herbst family and Legacy’s ownership group, going back to off-road and stadium truck racing, and reveals the surprisingly random story behind his No. 84. Jimmie also gets into what it took for Legacy to build its own aero tools from scratch after moving away from its Joe Gibbs Racing alliance. If you follow NASCAR, Legacy Motor Club, Jimmie Johnson as a team owner, or the 2027 silly season, this episode gives you the story behind the moves, not just the version that made the press release.
