    Jun 12 2026

    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.

    For this week's guest interview, Reed Sorenson reveals the moment he was brought to tears over losing his seat, and why he left Ganassi when he did.

    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.

  • Reed Sorenson: NASCAR's Next Phenom That Almost Was
    Jun 10 2026

    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.

  • Because EVERYONE Needs a Taxidermy Squirrel... Right?!
    Jun 4 2026

    Amy and Dale are back with another episode of Bless Your 'Hardt, and the Earnhardts might have a new family hobby. After their daughters discover a new obsession at golf camp, Amy starts plotting the family's future on the golf course while Dale isn't exactly ready to commit. Meanwhile, a post-Nashville sleep schedule has Dale running on fumes and relying on Amy for a very specific kind of support.

    The conversation bounces from the origins of "Denny Bros" to updates on the Dale Jr. Foundation Tahoe giveaway, upcoming family adventures at Hersheypark, and a debate that becomes far more passionate than anyone expected. Then there's the gift. Amy brings something to the studio that leaves Dale completely speechless and threatens to derail the entire episode. If you've ever wondered what it takes to make Dale Jr. genuinely uncomfortable, you're about to find out.

    Before wrapping the show, they tackle listener questions, grocery store etiquette, phone privacy, beach house construction chaos, and the traffic stop that continues to live rent-free in Amy's head. From family stories and random tangents to unexpected arguments and one unforgettable surprise, this episode has a little bit of everything.

  • The Unexpected Second Life of Vanilla Ice
    Jun 3 2026

    Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down for an in-depth conversation with one of the most iconic figures of the 1990s, multi-platinum recording artist Rob Van Winkle, better known as Vanilla Ice. After being raised in the Dallas, Texas area, Rob found his way into the drastically different worlds of motocross racing and breakdancing. These uncommon interests helped fuel a competitive nature in his teenage years, and he would soon pivot to an interest in poetry and hip hop. Rob explains that he developed performing skills at a local mall where he’d breakdance and freestyle rap for shoppers and onlookers. His dancing abilities and daredevil nature would eventually land him on stage at a local hip hop nightclub in Dallas called City Lights, where he won over the club’s management and audiences alike.

    Rob would sign on with a manager and record label and record his iconic song “Ice Ice Baby”, which he had originally penned at age 16. By age 20, he had sold six million records and had the best-selling hip hop recording at that time. But international stardom had its price, and Rob fell into the clutches of drug abuse and was taken advantage of by several professionals around him, including his old record label. Rob would step away from the music industry for some time and thrust himself into the world of real estate, where he discovered a love for home renovation. This passion would eventually morph into the long-running television show “The Vanilla Ice Project”, which he reveals was just recently picked up by HBO. Dale and Rob’s conversation covers his redemption arc, his wild car collection, which includes a 1970s Dale Earnhardt Sr. dirt car, and how the rewards of fatherhood outweigh the riches of fame.
