With the office in the rearview, it's time to set sail into the weekend with Dirty 30! 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. THE PODCASTS YOU LOVE. THE MERCH YOU NEED.

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.

Dale Jr. got BACK behind the wheel, and he’s got plenty to talk about after getting back into a race car at Florence Motor Speedway. On this episode of the Dale Jr. Download, Dale breaks down his CARS Tour weekend, his run to a second-place finish, racing Kaden Honeycutt, and what’s next as he continues working with Tony Eury Jr. He also talks about the new safety equipment he tested, including a new seat. Then, the conversation turns to NASCAR’s qualifying metric after rain washed out practice and qualifying at Darlington. Dale and TJ debate whether the current system rewards success, whether qualifying order should be based on points, and if there’s a better way to create a fair playing field. The crew also dives into the ongoing Carson Hocevar controversy following his incident with Brad Keselowski. Dale and TJ discuss Hocevar’s aggressive racing style, the lack of explanation or apology after incidents, and how many times a driver can push his competitors before someone decides enough is enough. Will the No. 6 team retaliate this coming weekend? When will these incidents finally come back to haunt Carson? Finally, the guys break down the championship picture coming out of Darlington. Christopher Bell made a major move in the standings, Denny Hamlin had a difficult points day, and several drivers are going to have their work cut out for them as the Chase continues. As always, the show wraps with Ask Jr and Dirty Mo Dough.
