Dale Jr. is back with another episode of Dirty Air, and there’s plenty to talk about. From card-collecting stories and eBay finds to a heated debate over the NASCAR Hall of Fame ballot, Dale and the crew dive into who deserves to get in now and who might be getting overlooked. They break down the latest NASCAR race at Martinsville, including restart chaos, missed shifts, and the growing conversation around respect on the track. Dale weighs in on aggressive driving, retaliation, and how quickly things can spiral in short track racing. Plus, Chase Elliott joins the show to talk about his Martinsville win, the strategy call that made the difference, and how his team continues to improve this NASCAR season. Dale also reacts to Denny Hamlin’s dominant run, the points shakeup, and why consistency matters more than ever in the NASCAR Cup Series. The episode wraps with Ask Jr., Dirty Mo Dough, and plenty of classic Dale stories along the way.
