Casey Mears: Chasing A Milestone

4/2/2025
Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with longtime NASCAR competitor and former Coke 600 winner Casey Mears to chat about his recent return to the driver’s seat. With the goal of reaching 500 career Cup starts in mind, Casey returned to Sunday competition this past weekend at Martinsville. Casey explains that the inspiration for the push to get 500 came from an interview he did a couple of years ago, where a journalist informed him that he had 489 starts. Thanks to time on the simulator, Casey was able to jump back behind the wheel after his five year absence and complete the race without too many mistakes. Casey and Dale discuss his upbringing in Bakersfield, California, and his time spent racing Stadium Super Trucks and off-road racing. Casey’s relationship with off-road trucks stems back to his father Roger, who was prolific in the division, earning four class victories in the famed Baja 1000. Casey shares his experiences from the event and gives listeners great insight into what competitors face throughout the race. The guys also chat about Casey’s time in the open wheel world, making the transition to stock cars, Casey’s current day to day life and their friendship over the years.

Lake Speed: Driven By Something Bigger

3/26/2025
Dale Earnhardt Jr. welcomes former Cup Series driver & 1978 Karting World Champion Lake Speed to the studio to learn about his path from karts to Cup. Without the support of his parents, Lake had to chase the racing dream on his own, and started a karting business out of his house to fuel the fire. After finding success stateside, Lake ventured to Europe to pursue the ultimate achievement in karting: The World Championships. After a few embarrassing first attempts racing internationally, Lake finally won it all in 1978, beating future F1 Champion Ayrton Senna. After achieving the highest honor in the karting world, Lake shares why he wanted to move to NASCAR, and looks back at the moment he busted his ass in his first handful of laps in a Cup car. Lake opens up on his deep connection to faith, and how he learned to trust the inner voice in his head. Once he started trusting that voice, everything changed for him, and he went on to deliver an impressive second place finish in the Daytona 500 and a win at Darlington several years later. Dale & Lake close out the interview by discussing his relief efforts following Davey Allison’s passing, his fight with Michael Waltrip, and his experience working with the Motor Racing Outreach. Even at 77 years old, Lake still races. That alone should tell you this is a conversation you have to hear.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s out sick, so Amy Earnhardt's best friend Jamie Goddard takes his seat.

They reminisce about their wildest moments, including a golf cart mishap, a pool noodle fight in a Walgreens parking lot, and the time Jamie just knew Dale and Amy were meant to be. Amy also answers fan questions, including what Dale is really like when he’s sick and whether he’s ever braved the grocery store alone with their daughters.

DJD Classics - Greg Biffle: Why I Should've Left Roush Racing

2/26/2025
On this week’s DJD classics episode, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and co-host Mike Davis catch up with one of his longtime competitors from the NASCAR Cup scene, Washington’s Greg Biffle. After a successful career in NASCAR that spanned nearly two decades, Biffle quietly exited the sport following the 2016 season. Greg shares his story of how he got into NASCAR, where he ultimately headed south to Tucson, Arizona to participate in the NASCAR Winter Heat Series. It was there that he met and befriended NASCAR Hall of Famer Benny Parsons, who was impressed with the unknown racer’s performance. As the story goes, weeks later Parsons was conversing with Jack Roush in the garage area at Michigan International Speedway about Roush’s NASCAR Truck team. Parsons recommended Biffle to Roush, and soon after he received a call from Geoff Smith, the president of Roush Racing at the time. After a lengthy chat, a contract was faxed over to Greg and the next two decades of his racing career were in motion. Greg and Dale speak about the decline of Roush Racing and the factors that led to the team falling behind the competition. Greg explains the team failed to progress with the direction of the sport and it took them a long time to catch up once they were behind. The lack of winning equipment ultimately played a role in Greg leaving Cup racing in 2016, a year earlier than his contract stated. The interview also touches on some of Greg’s rivalries over the years, and the stories behind them. Greg details his dust-up with Jay Sauter at Richmond and the monetary fine and points penalty that fell on him because of it. As a result, when he and Kevin Harvick made contact at Bristol a year later in 2002, he knew he wanted to avoid a fight at all costs. They also discuss his famous feud with Boris Said at Watkins Glen in 2011, and how a perfectly thrown water bottle caused a huge blow-out. Dirty Mo Media is launching a new e-commerce merch line!

606 - Cleetus McFarland: Do It For Dale

2/19/2025
Dale Earnhardt Jr. welcomes Cleetus McFarland, one of the most recognizable stars in the YouTube automotive scene, to the Dale Jr. Download this week. Fresh off his ARCA Racing Series debut at Daytona, McFarland caught the eyes and hearts of race fans with his post-race interview and time spent in the Fox broadcast booth. Garrett Mitchell was born in Omaha, Nebraska, and the Cleetus McFarland character was born thanks to a viral video made by a burgeoning street racing film company he worked with. After splitting his time between video editing, covering events, and law school, McFarland decided to go full-time with his own YouTube page and rapidly grew into one of the biggest followings on the platform. McFarland turned heads in the oval racing world when he purchased the dilapidated Desoto Speedway in Bradenton, Florida, and turned it into his personal playground for content. He and Dale recount the story of how the purchase came to be, and how a run-in with the IRS and COVID restrictions almost stopped him dead in his tracks. In an effort to bounce back from the obstacles, McFarland hosted his first Freedom 500, a race held for state auction purchased Crown Vics. The races have since become marquee events, held at established short track strongholds such as Indianapolis Raceway Park, Stafford Springs, and Bristol. The guys also discussed his time spent with Greg Biffle in relief efforts for Hurricane Helene and how Greg has become a mentor in his stock car racing efforts.
