    Bussin' With The Boys: Pouring Gas On The Fire

    Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with Will Compton and Taylor Lewan of Barstool’s Bussin’ With The Boys. Dale and the boys kick things off with Will and Taylor’s early days cutting their teeth on the college football level. Since Dale never went to college, Compton and Lewan walk Dale through what the college experience looks like as a student-athlete. Taylor explains the chaos of the NFL combine and shares the roller coaster ride of NFL draft night. Will shares the origin story of the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast and the story behind finding the iconic bus. 
    The group moves on to discuss the injuries Will and Taylor have encountered over their careers, including the injury that left Lewan heartbroken. Will shares the reason why he turned down the New York Jets late in his career and how he ended up playing alongside Taylor at the Tennessee Titans. The two share the hilarious story of the time they played each other on the football field, which is now known as “The Bussin’ Bowl.” Dale, Will, and Taylor finish the conversation by shootin’ the breeze and sharing the story of how they initially became friends.
    It’s the longest DJD episode so far this year and for damn good reason. You won’t want to miss this one.

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.
