Have a seat, grab your beverage of choice, and crank up the volume because Dirty Thirty is back again for another round!

Dale Earnhardt Jr. starts off the powered-up 30 minutes of fun with another debate surrounding the most polarizing driver in NASCAR currently — Carson Hocevar.

Over on Door Bumper Clear, Bubba Wallace and Riley Herbst talk about being teammates, but we end their portion with a joke Bubba told some Navy Seals that had the whole room laughing.

After a quick message from Dale Jr. about our plans for San Diego, Denny Hamlin discusses his win total and how high he thinks it takes him.

And lastly, we've heard her name quite a bit on Bless Your 'Hardt, but now it's time you meet her. Katie, Amy's sister, recalls the first time she ever met Dale Jr.

Amy's sister Katie is finally joining the podcast! In this special family episode, the two reminisce about growing up in Texas, the childhood stories they still laugh about, and the sibling memories that somehow never fade.

Katie also shares the story behind the hand-me-down jacket she got from Amy almost 20 years ago and why she still has it today.

The sisters look back on kitchen dance parties with their dad, the infamous belly button crab story, and the family traditions that shaped them. It's a conversation full of nostalgia, laughter, and the kind of stories only sisters can tell. If you've ever wondered what Amy was like growing up or just love hearing the hilarious lore every family seems to have, this episode is for you.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. invites a one-time rising star in the NASCAR garage, Georgia’s own Reed Sorenson. After having a meteoric rise from the American Speed Association to becoming a development driver for Chip Ganassi Racing, Reed was on everyone’s radar in stock car racing. He would enter the O’Reilly Series ranks in winning fashion, just narrowly missing out on Rookie of the Year honors to NASCAR Hall of Famer Carl Edwards. Ganassi tabbed him to replace Casey Mears in the Cup Series, and before Reed knew it, he was living his racing dreams at the young age of 20. Once there, though, Reed quickly realized that every rung up the ladder in racing brought more challenges, and a series of missteps and bad deals would leave him searching for a stable opportunity in racing.

Reed comes from a racing family. His father, Brad, was a longtime mainstay in the Southeast late model scene, running local tracks like Lanier on a weekly basis and even making a Busch Grand National start in 1992. Once Reed was old enough to reach the pedals, though, his family focused completely on his racing endeavors. He’d start out in quarter midgets and win his way across North America before graduating to Legend cars. Legend cars led to late models, and Reed caught the eye of Lorin Ranier during his time racing with ASA, which helped facilitate his introduction to Ganassi. Reed would experience the triumph of being one of the sports’ top prospects before years of dealing with the cruel reality of the world of racing.

Dale Jr. and Reed discuss his rapid ascent to the NASCAR Cup grid, his near-misses and opportunities, and his departure from full-time racing.
