What Keeps Shane Hmiel Going On The Other Side Of Tragedy
2026/10/16
Back at it like we never left! It's time to round up the week with the best moments from Dirty Mo Media's slate of shows — and this week it's Griddy-ing with Chase Briscoe, Leigh Diffey's accent confusion, and getting deep with Shane Hmiel.
We kick things off with Chase Briscoe on his success at 1.5-milers and how his son loves to hype up the crowd, even when he walks up to the plate at his Little League baseball games.
Then we go down under (you make of that what you will) with Door Bumper Clear, who hosted two-thirds of the NBC Broadcast Booth, Leigh Diffey and Jeff Burton! Leigh clears up some accent confusion and tells a great Ward Burton story, and Jeff responds to a fan who noticed his Freudian slip on TV.
Over on Actions Detrimental, Denny Hamlin explains the chassis shuffle teams are doing in this part of the season and how it could be helping some of the other organizations.
And lastly, in one of our more vulnerable moments of the year, Shane Hmiel shares his heart with Dale Jr. about how he appreciates his friendship, his family and the fight to stay strong on the other side of his accident.
Thanks for listening! Catch us right back here next week for the Dirty Thirty.

Amy Just Exposed Dale’s Driving Habits on Public Roads
2026/10/15
When is too old to trick-or-treat? How long do you have to date someone before they get a wedding plus-one? And does the shape of your pasta actually matter?
Amy and Dale are back with another episode of Bless Your ‘Hardt to tackle the everyday debates that somehow turn into full-blown arguments (in the best way possible, of course).
This week, Dale is going toe-to-toe with a rat that has somehow chewed its way through the internet cables, but Dale and his buddies are on the case to trap the rats.
Dale also tells the story of sneaking around a massive property to egg passing cars as a teenager — because apparently, Halloween mischief came with a whole escape plan that leaves Amy raising an eyebrow.
Also, Amy completely exposes Dale’s driving habits on public road that may have something to do with spontaneous Amazon purchases.
All this and more are in this week’s episode of Bless Your ‘Hardt.

Failing a NASCAR Drug Test Helped Save Shane Hmiel’s Life | Part 2
2026/10/14
Banned from NASCAR. A paralyzing crash. The long road to recovery.
Part 1 of Shane Hmiel's story on The Dale Jr. Download gave us a look at the raw talent that put Shane on the list of NASCAR's next superstars. Today we bring you Part 2 — and things take an emotional turn.
Shane Hmiel and Dale Jr. go way back. They've shared plenty of laughs over the years, but Shane's road hasn't exactly been an easy one.
In Part 2, Shane opens up about the drug suspensions that derailed his NASCAR career, getting clean, finding his way back to racing and the crash that changed his life forever.
But one of the most powerful moments comes when the conversation gets personal. Shane explains what Dale's friendship has meant to him through all the ups and downs, and why he was so worried about letting him down coming into this interview.
It's raw, it's honest, and it's a side of Shane's story you don't hear every day.

What Dale Hopes For Keselowski Moving Forward
2026/10/09
It's your favorite day of the week! We've got 30 minutes of pumped-up fun coming right at you from Dirty Mo Media. This week's Dirty Thirty is all about Brad Keselowski's move, Jeff Dickerson's lawsuit remarks, and Shane Hmiel getting banned from NASCAR. Let's get into it!
We start off with Dale Jr. & TJ Majors discussing what comes next for Brad Keselowski now that he has announced his departure from RFK Racing. Dale has hopes for where he says Brad takes his leadership, talents, and abilities.
In Actions Detrimental this week, Denny Hamlin reveals how the spin went down and that he didn't know where Larson was in the field — should he have?
This week's Door Bumper Clear was spicy as usual, but this time it was Jeff Dickerson who was bringing the heat, talking about the lawsuit against Spire Motorsports from Joe Gibbs Racing.
The guest show this week was something to behold, as Shane Hmiel entered the studio for an episode that was so good, we had to cut it into two parts. In this clip, he talks about the moment he got banned from NASCAR for smoking weed. Catch part 2 next week!
And finally, Amy is taken aback by Dale Jr's antics in first grade — and it leads to a hilarious story about his first girlfriend.
That's all for this week! Catch us right here next week on Dirty Thirty.

Tony Stewart Tried To Help NASCAR & He Hasn't Forgotten Their Response
2026/10/02
It's time again for another episode of the Dirty Thirty, and this week we have a packed house -- Smoke joined DBC, Cleetus called in to Ask Jr., and Jerome Davis's phone call with Richard Childress.
We start off with Tommy Baldwin opening up a can of worms when he asks what would happen if Tony Stewart came across Steve O'Donnell — to which Tony replied: "We'd be in a fist fight." And that's only the beginning...
Next up, the CARS Tour announced big news this week when they shared that they would open up their season at Cleetus McFarland's Freedom Factory, and he joined Dale during Ask Jr. to talk about it!
Our guest show this week was special because Dale Jr. hosted one of our newest podcast hosts, Jerome Davis, to tell his story. In this snippet, Dale Jr. asks about the team side of PBR and how Richard Childress gave him a call that changed everything.
Lastly, Denny Hamlin previews the rest of the NASCAR Cup Series field's points standings, and the Bros get into a debate about who has a realistic chance to win it all.

2026/10/01
Dale and Amy are back in the Dirty Mo Media studio for another round of Bless Your 'Hardt!
This week Dale finds out over text that Amy ditched him mid-documentary, and he's still mad about it.

Amy calls Dale out for working out barefoot to a '70s love song and can't believe there are people who don't own a toaster.
Then it's Red Flag, Green Flag: Thanksgiving turkey trots, falling asleep to true crime, and people who don't return their shopping carts.

Does Joey Logano Think Hocevar Is Similar To His Younger Self?
2026/09/24
It's time to kick off the weekend, and there's no better way to do it than with the Dirty Thirty — 30 minutes of the very best of Dirty Mo Media's shows from this week. Bristol gave us a wild finish, a wreck and a fight, and it's the hot topic everyone’s talking about.
We start with Joey Logano calling in to The Dale Jr. Download. Joey was more than 70 points behind when the Chase began, and after winning at Bristol, he's right back in the title fight. Dale asks if he's even a little surprised, and Joey breaks down how stage points helped him make up the ground. He also talks about the one thing from Kansas he says he'll never get over, and why he'd trade popularity for championships.
Speaking of Bristol, Door Bumper Clear takes on the Carson Hocevar and Ryan Blaney wreck in Spot On, Spot Off. Tommy Baldwin puts it on Ryan, explains why he doesn't think you can make that move on the dozen or so drivers who will never lift, and reminds everyone that the only people Ryan has ever fought are his two sisters.
And lastly, the driver of the No. 12 himself, Ryan Blaney, sat down with Denny Hamlin on Actions Detrimental to give his side of the story. Ryan explains why he walked over alone, why he calls the wreck a 50/50, and what he regrets now that he's had time to think about it.
That's all for this week! We will see you next time on the Dirty Thirty.

The Only Time Dale Can Recall His Dad Getting in a Fight
2026/09/23
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.
