The Dale Jr. Download

What’s the true definition of a short track? Is Iowa a short track? Why is everyone rearranging Dale’s furniture!?

Dale’s coming out of the gates hot today with a passionate opinion on what classifies a track as a ‘short track’ compared to an ‘intermediate,’ debating TJ  for a good ten minutes straight.

The three talk about what Iowa should do with the repave, how Ty Gibbs kept Christopher Bell from victory lane, and that the complaints about the racing aren’t a Next Gen problem. The gang also discusses how the Chase standings have shifted after contenders and pretenders continue to be separated, including Ty Gibbs catapulting to second in points after his victory.

Dale gives his perspective on why reducing the number of cars in The Chase field would help the storylines around the fight to get in, and talks about how NASCAR’s rule about changing brake pads is something that needs to be rethought. He also touches on Carson Kvapil’s second straight O’Reilly Series victory, and why they can be contenders for the championship. 

Ty Gibbs also joins to talk about his breakout season, his mom’s impact on his life, and why he believes taking away the digital mirror would take drivers out of the Cup Series.

The Costa Rica family vacation that Dale spent months worrying about… ended up becoming one of his favorite trips ever. After expecting long days, difficult excursions, and a vacation that might test his patience, Dale quickly found out the best moments weren’t the ones anyone planned. From exploring the jungle and seeing wildlife up close, to hiking through the mountains, swimming in a freezing waterfall, and watching the kids embrace every adventure, the trip turned into a collection of memories the whole family will never forget.

The chaos didn’t stop there. Dale and Amy share stories from surfing attempts, a wild catamaran adventure, and an unexpected vow renewal organized by the kids that became one of the most special moments of the trip. They also talk about dreaming of life on a catamaran, why Dale may not be as adventurous as he thinks, and the little moments that ended up meaning the most.

Mark Martin's story of resilience, raw talent, and unmatched car knowledge defined the modern era of NASCAR drivers... and today, he sits down with fellow NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. to discuss it all! Mark details key moments that defined his career, especially turning down the Ranier Racing No. 28 car ahead of the 1982 season. From there, Mark discusses his long and complicated relationship with Jack Roush.

Mark feared Jack, but a trip to a test track and an unauthorized plane landing helped Mark realize the true level of their relationship. In that same trip, Mark and his team got reckless and totaled a group of rental cars — and somehow, the story never got out. And Jack? He was none the wiser. Racing back in the '80s and '90s brought its own slew of challenges, and Mark details several such moments, including subbing out of the car at Pocono mid-race due to heat exhaustion. On top of that, Mark raced with a hand-operated clutch in his late model just weeks after suffering a vicious crash.

After discussing Mark's new book, he and Dale Jr. discuss the current state of NASCAR racing, namely the points format that Mark spearheaded as part of NASCAR's Playoff Committee. Plus, Mark shares his potentially radical idea to fix racing with the Next Gen car.

All of this packed into another can't miss episode of The Dale Jr. Download!
