409 - Clash Overreactions; Jimmie Johnson's Back; Kevin Harvick's Retirement

As the green flag waves on season 11, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and co-host Mike Davis are back in the Bojangles studio for episode 409 of the Dale Jr. Download. With a new format in store for the 2023season, which will see three episodes drop a week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, the gang decided to start things off with some Dirty Air.

There was a lot to catch up on from the off-season, including the launch of some new Dirty Mo Media shows, personal events, and of course a preview of the upcoming year in Cup racing. Listeners can also expect discussion about:

• The first Download guest of the year
• The Clash in the Coliseum
• Dale’s next late-model event
• The return of Jimmie Johnson
• Kevin Harvick’s retirement

Tuesday episodes will also feature the fan-favorite Ask Jr. segment, and this week listeners wrote in questions about:

• Dale’s recent experience during the NASCAR Hall of Fame ceremony
• How mechanics can get into NASCAR
• The possibility of a timed/endurance-style NASCAR race
• Off-season adventures at home
