Jerome Davis has lived one hell of a life. The 1995 PRCA World Champion, 2026 ProRodeo Hall of Fame inductee, founding member of the PBR and head coach of the Carolina Cowboys joins Dale Jr. to talk about the moments that shaped his career — from winning a world championship to helping build the PBR from the ground up. Jerome also opens up about the injuries that changed his life, what kept him coming back to bull riding, and why he still believes he’ll walk again. Dale and Jerome get into the early days of the PBR, the $1,000 buy-in that helped get it started, Richard Childress and the Carolina Cowboys, and the similarities between racing and rodeo. Plus, Dale tells some unforgettable stories from the few times he’s been around bull riding, including a wild night with Ross Coleman.

We’re back in the studio for another episode of the Dale Jr Download with Dale and TJ – and boy was there a lot to break down today. Dale kicked off the show talking about the breakout of fights we saw at Martinsville this past weekend, including if he thinks NASCAR will issue any punishments to the crew that ganged up on Corey Heim. Then we pivot to the Cup race to discuss Larson’s domination, who still has a chance at the title, and the restart wreck that left Dale and TJ in a huge disagreement. Dale also touches on the splitter change that has curbed Toyota’s dominance over the past few months, and allowed Hendrick Motorsports to find their way back at the front of the field in dominating fashion. Also, major silly season news breaks in the middle of recording about Brad Keselowski leaving RFK Racing at season’s end. What does this mean for RFK Racing, and DJD cohost TJ Majors? Dale and TJ dive into Jordan Bianchi’s article to digest it all. As always, the show wraps up with Dirty Mo Dough and Ask Jr. Chapters: 00:00:00 — Intro 00:04:31 — CARS Tour & Martinsville mayhem 00:09:23 — Corey Heim Gets Jumped 00:18:38 — Who Can Catch Larson? 00:28:26 — NASCAR’s Splitter Changes Explained 00:33:00 — Is the Points System Too Aggressive? 00:34:47 — Should Rainouts Change the Starting Lineup? 00:41:32 — Vegas Race is Shaping up To Be HOT 00:47:01 — The Hocevar/Keselowski Restart 00:58:31 — Brad Keselowski Leaves RFK 01:06:26 — Kyle Larson Joins the Download 01:17:45 — Lionel Racing Ultimate Racing Collector 01:21:20 — Ask Jr 01:33:24 — Cletus McFarland Joins the Show 01:46:04 — Dirty Mo Dough THE PODCASTS YOU LOVE.

The studio was lively this week for a special Wednesday show – an extended edition of Ask Jr with Dale and TJ. The fans brought all of their best questions from social media and the live chat, covering topics like the biggest fights in NASCAR, the supposed brawl in the NASCAR Hauler between Kurt Busch and Tony Stewart, Dale’s terrifying crash at California 2002, and many more. Dale and TJ also had some fun reminiscing on the days where our wallets had photo albums, wallets had chains and a lot of guys carried a comb in their pocket.. Do we need to go back to those days? They also discuss Ty Gibbs throwing his water bottle into the Blaney/Hocevar scuffle, if Dale Sr has ever fought any drivers during his career, and the $400 phone bill that Dale Jr racked up while living with his brother Kerry. This Wednesday show also rounds out with Dirty Mo Dough and a special guest George Wrighster III, the host of Dirty Mo Media’s new podcast Unafraid Show.

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.
