The Dale Jr. Download

It's officially time for another episode of Dirty Thirty — where you give us 30 minutes of your time, and we give you our very best half hour from the week.

We start off with a legend, Jimmy Fennig, who talks about the loyalty he had towards Bobby Allison, and the moment he knew he would do anything for him.

In Dirty Air this week, Dale Jr. reacts to a quote from NASCAR's John Probst about a possible future where the O'Reilly series could be filled with CUV body styles.

Next up, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. crashed the Actions Detrimental set, and Denny Hamlin wanted to ask him about his consistency and how he's approaching Talladega.

Over on Door Bumper Clear, O'Reilly Series team owner Sam Hunt recalls the story where he had his seat sold out from under him, which also might have propelled his career in team ownership forward.

In the latest episode of Sons & Daughters, Shannon Spake sat down with the GOAT of Motocross & Supercross, Ricky Carmichael, and asked him about the time he almost thought about quitting before he ever became a superstar.

And finally, we end up on a monumental moment in the Earnhardt household — Amy is no longer the only one who has lost her phone. It's a tale you have to hear!

Dale and Amy are back with one of those episodes where things take a few unexpected turns in the best way. It starts with missing rings at home and somehow turns into Dale losing his phone on vacation… let’s just say Amy wasn’t thrilled in the moment, but now she’s making sure everyone knows. That kicks off a full search with alerts going off and everyone trying to track it down. Add in beach bars, strong batch drinks, and a few moments they definitely didn’t see coming, and you’ve got a trip they won’t forget anytime soon.

They also get into the real side of things, from balancing racing and family to the emotions that come with it, especially after a scary on-track moment that had Dale wishing he was there with the team. Then it’s straight into Ask Amy, where nothing is off limits. They debate the most annoying Disney princess, unpacking habits after vacation, get into some very questionable shower routines, and even touch on everything from deodorant to 3-in-1 shampoo. Watch the full episode and let us know your answers in the comments.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. welcomed one of the fiercest competitors and hardest workers in the NASCAR garage to the Download this week, longtime championship-winning crew chief Jimmy Fennig. Best known for his thirty-year tenure at Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing, Jimmy helped elevate a young Kurt Busch to his lone NASCAR Cup Championship in 2004. Jimmy’s journey to the top of NASCAR’s crew chief rankings came from humble beginnings in southeastern Wisconsin. After growing up under the roof of two generations of dirt racers, Jimmy and his brother Jeffrey decided to try their own hand at the craft, building and racing a sportsman car out of local Hales Corner Speedway. Jimmy quickly realized he preferred turning wrenches to rubbing fenders, and he took a job preparing cars for Wisconsin legend Al Schill.

It was through this connection that he’d meet Bobby Allison at Slinger Speedway, beginning a long friendship that brought Jimmy into the NASCAR fold. Jimmy experienced a short track pinnacle, winning the 1986 American Speed Association Championship with Mark Martin, and it was off to the races in stock car land. Jimmy would join Bobby at the burgeoning Stavola Brothers Racing outfit, and they’d capture the 1988 Daytona 500. After Bobby’s tragic career-ending crash at Pocono, he’d take on an ownership role, and Jimmy would follow along, sitting atop the box for Hut Stricklin, Jeff Purvis, and others. When Bobby Allison Motorsports shuttered in 1996, Jimmy was the last one out of the shop, and he’d part for the Liberty, North Carolina location of Roush to reunite with Mark Martin.

Dale and Jimmy’s conversation covers the tough competition of ASA in the 1980s, the loyalty and grit of Bobby Allison, and achieving the top accomplishments NASCAR has to offer.

It's amazing what you can get done in 30 minutes, and even more amazing if you do it while listening to Dirty Thirty! You'll hear from your favorite hosts, NASCAR President Steve O'Donnell & BJ McLeod, too!

We open up with Actions Detrimental, where Denny Hamlin weighs in on his former teammate Kyle Busch's recent struggles and why it doesn't add up to him.

Next, Dale Jr. talks about Ty Gibbs' prime years and whether they will be affected whenever the day comes where Joe Gibbs is no longer in charge of JGR.

In the guest episode this week, you can't miss him if you see him — BJ McLeod walks us through being compared to Jeff Gordon in the late '90s and why his big break never came.

Over on the Bless Your 'Hardt set, we're back to talking about phones, and Amy gives us insight into the proverbial journey her phone goes through daily.

And last, but definitely not least, NASCAR President Steve O'Donnell gives us a rundown on the changes being made to Talladega's stages to combat fuel saving — and why they are NOT a permanent fix.
