Dale Earnhardt Jr. sets out to learn more about the world of motorcycle racing as he sits down with championship rider Aaron Plessinger. He recounts his worst injuries, biggest struggles, and greatest accomplishments in the Dirty Mo Media Studio. Regarded as a fan favorite on the AMA Supercross and Motocross circuits, Aaron grew up around the sport thanks to his father, Scott, who was a champion off-road motorcyclist himself. Aaron explains that he followed in his father’s footsteps into the off-road world in the Grand National Cross Country Series, but ended up giving motocross a serious try and found a knack for it. He would get noticed during an event at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch and sign a deal with a factory Yamaha team, Star Racing. Dale and Aaron discuss the different forms of motorcycle racing and how prevalent injuries are in the sport. Aaron explains that racers rarely complete the entire season due to the likelihood of getting hurt, and he shares stories of some of the attrition he’s faced over the years. The guys also chat about the training motocross racers go through and how bike setup and crew chiefs make a difference in the sport. Dale asks Aaron about the difference between good and great riders, to which he explains that confidence and mental toughness play a major role in racing success. They relate over the pressure that professional racers face and the methods they’ve used to overcome nervousness while competing. Finally, the guys chat about Aaron’s move to the Red Bull KTM team, his admiration of Dale Earnhardt Sr., and navigating fatherhood.

Aaron Plessinger On Self-Confidence, Fatherhood & Why He Says "Do It For Dale"

Dale Earnhardt Jr. welcomes two-time NASCAR Truck Champion Todd Bodine to the Download this week to chat about their shared family history and his path to the pinnacle of stock car racing. Born into a racing family, Todd found himself in racing at an early age thanks to his father’s involvement with Chemung Speedway. Todd’s older brothers Geoff and Brett would both rise from the NASCAR modified ranks in the Northeast to having opportunities in Charlotte for some of the top teams in the 1980s. Todd explains that after he assisted his father with work at Log Cabin Speedway in Virginia, he would follow Brett to Connecticut and begin his own racing career. When a big crash destroyed his car and his owner ran out of money, Todd packed his bags and headed south to Charlotte to join his brothers. It was there that his shared family history with Dale Jr. began, as he would take a job working in Robert Gee’s garage on Rick Hendrick’s Busch Grand National cars. Race fans will remember Dale Earnhardt Sr.’s fierce rivalry with Todd’s older brother Geoff in the 1980s, which became the inspiration for the famed “Days of Thunder” movie starring Tom Cruise. Dale Jr. and Todd share their perspectives on the numerous family run-ins during that time, and Todd remarks that he just saw two drivers racing hard for glory. The conversation also covers Dale Jr. and Todd’s time spent together racing in the Busch Series in the late 1990s. The two would add their own chapter to the Bodine/Earnhardt feud when they had a run-in at Pikes Peak in 1999. Todd brings Dale Jr. a souvenir from the incident, and the two are able to have a good laugh all these years later.
