Can Drivers Still Make it in NASCAR on Talent Alone?

Dale Jr. is back in the studio after Richmond, and there’s plenty to debate about on this episode of the Dale Jr. Download.

Dale and TJ break down Josh Berry’s recent run, the state of Ford and Penske, NASCAR’s changes to the front splitter, and why Richmond could be even better with a fix that would piss off the drivers. They also debate Joey Logano’s championship chances and whether he can make a deep playoff run.

Plus, the guys discuss Connor Zilisch’s move to Hendrick Motorsports for 2028, what it means for Trackhouse, and how Justin Marks is shaping the organization going forward.

Then, Joey Logano joins the show to talk about Penske’s turnaround, his confidence heading into the playoffs, working through a difficult stretch with Paul Wolfe, and embracing the haters.

Dale and the crew also dive into Ask Jr to share some Kyle Busch memories, talk Cleetus McFarland’s short-track racing, hunting, fantasy football and more before making their Dirty Mo Dough picks for New Hampshire. 

Dirty Mo Dough rounds it out with some favorites for racing in New England.
