Dale and our Jr. is proud to have innovative eyewear brand spy on board as a sponsor of the Dale Jr. download. Learn more about Spy at Spyoptic.com. With Dale Jr., with Mike Hogue and Mike Davis. I am Taylor Zarser.

Amanda Troutman. we hope feels better, but she is still in control of this ship. Absolutely. You know, healthy or sick, doesn't matter. She has to be here to make sure that everything gets done, so we certainly appreciate her as well. And Mike, we're talking about a spy optic. We've got some big news, huh?

Big news. Big news. You ready for this, Taylor? Are you sitting down? Hold on a second. Sit down. Sit down. Okay.

Listen to this. Thanks to our friends from spy. All right, you know, the Iwear brand behind Dale Jr.'s 88 collection and the innovative Happy Lens. We are going to have a spy-sponsored race car in the nationwide series this year, and it will feature Dirty Mo Radio on the paint scheme. Dirty Mo Radio is actually going to be on the racetrack this year. Now, Taylor, when you and I started this deal last year,

did we ever think that there would be a Dirty Mo? I remember we did a Jerm 360 spoofing this whole idea. and Kelly Earnhardt Miller gave us some prime space underneath the race car to put our decal. But this is actually not going to be underneath the race car. This is going to be on the upper rear quarter panel. This is prime real estate right here. That's pretty awesome. I certainly want to hear a junior's thoughts on this.

Junior, what was it? Do you finish third and Pocono, first Pocono race last year, second or third? Man, you're going back. Seems right. The reason why I ask is because you climbed out of your car and you said something to the effect of, man, people are going to be happy on Dirty Moe radio this week. That's right. And you said,

and people went crazy, like Mike's phone blew up, my phone blew up. I was fired up about this. You just name in Dirty Moe Radio. Now we've gotten to the point where it's on the hood. No, it's not a hood. It's pretty fired up about that. It's on the rear quarter panels. Oh, well, okay, it's on the car. Spies on the hood. Okay, spies on the hood. We're on, we're on the car somewhere.

Quarter panels are pretty big. Pretty big deal. Yeah. Upper. There you go. Not even lower. Up. Above the tire. Like legitimately. on the quarter panel. Big over the logo. So you're probably wondering who's driving it. It's not Junior, by the way.

Unless Junior wants to go to Iowa. And I bet he doesn't. Where are we running that week? Isn't it Pocono? Yeah, that'd be tough. No, that's the All-Star Race. Yeah, you're right. It's the All-Star Race.

Okay, so we're not going to miss that. Junior's not going to miss the All-Star Race. No. But Austin Terrio will be in Iowa. Austin Terrio, we are announcing a three-race deal today. But we're doing it here first. Three-race deal with Austin Terrio. It's going to include the Iowa race May 18th.

This is the one that Spy and Dirty Mo Radio will be on the car, the number five car. Then he's also running New Hampshire, July 12th, and Kentucky, September 20th. So a three-race deal with Austin Terrio. We're putting out the press release today. Now, you're probably wondering, now who is Austin Terrio? A lot of you people up north probably know him already. Terrio is 20 years old. He's from Fort Kent, Maine, and he's getting his shot.

He's won three super late model races last year in the pro all-star series. So Austin Terrio is the one that we are leaving our pride and joy, our logo. It's in his hands, Taylor. That's pretty cool. In his nationwide debut. I can't wait to hear him say, man, that Spy Optic, Dirty Moe Radio, Chevrolet from Junior Motorsport sure was fast. Man, so what is our expectations for Austin Terrio in his nationwide series debut with

Dirty Mo Radio and Spy on his car? I mean, what's reasonable? I don't want to say, I don't want to go out and say, he's going to win. I mean, I think he can run in the top 10. Top 5 is probably a great great. Yeah, sure. Well, the car's good, and I think the kids got a lot of talent. He's had a lot of great

finishes in the lower ranks, and super late models and such, and yeah, I mean, he's got a pretty decent resume, so I think that he's going to be excited, and it's not a big track. You know, it's not a real challenging race track as far as size goes. And it is

kind of slick, and he's ran, I believe he's ran to Snowball Derby several times. third. So that's very similar surface, so he should feel right at home on the racetrack, to be honest with you. I mean, if you're going to make a debut in the Nationwide Series and you come

from super late models, I was probably one of the better ones to do. It's a shorter track. What is it like? Is it five-eighths? Kind of like Richmond, yeah. A little bit larger than Richmond, I think. So he should fit feel right at home there, get right up to speed.

All right, so top five for Austin Terrio. We call on it, Taylor? Hey, man. That's the top team. He said, top five would be like a Yeah, he said top 10 or top five. Yeah, so. I'd be real happy, and I'm sure he would too.

Top 10 in his first start? Not many people. Not maybe do that. No. I know. The way Junior Motorsports has been running this year, that would be pretty awesome to see. To the junior's point, though, the number five car is been stout this year. I mean, this is the one that Harvick drives.

Junior drives it when it's the number 88, so it's like, this is a legitimate team. He's not getting into some scrap here. But Mike Davis, I still think you should show up at more races. and hand out the stickers like you do. But having it on the quarter panels a little bit better than that. I'm sure he took two, three hundred stickers down to Myrtle Beach and slapped them on every stop time. Yeah.

That's what you did to Key West. That's right. Key West is covered up with Dirty Moor Ready. That's right. Yeah, I did go to Myrtle Beach this past week and even went over to your old stomping grounds of Myrtle Beach Speedway. I'd never seen it before. I wanted to go check it out.

So I snuck in. I saw the pictures. Maybe homesick. Just like you remember it? Yeah, I'm serious, man. I'm tear to my eye. Well, hey, Taylor, there's actually more to this announcement, and this is, again, exclusive for the Dirty Moe Radio listeners.

All right. Speaking of Dale Yeah, most people spell it correctly, Mike, but a couple people, I was looking back to all these tweets, and I mean, it doesn't matter what somebody says. They may say, you know, looking forward to the podcast, Dale Yeah. Or, I mean, they throw Dale Ye in there for anything. Right. But some people don't put the H in there at the end. Oh, that's a good point. So do we, so make sure you do that. Yeah. Let's go, let's go through a little spelling quiz right now. Dale is D-A-L-E. Yeah. Not D-E-L-L-L-L. Dale. Dale. Dale. Dale.

D-A-L-E-Y-Y-A-H. I know that y'all had a fun week, and there were some chops being busted, and some people were calling out some others, Mike Davis, this week, about some kind of racing that we have going on. We mentioned this on J-R-M-360, the podcast, last week. It was so funny because we're sitting up there working on 360, Amanda and I, and T-J comes up here, and he goes, and he's, like, legitimately mad, and he says, I want to race Hogue and Stephen Stephan,

and I want to beat him. And I'm like, and he goes, I don't want to do it for 360. And I'm like, okay, but TJ, I don't understand. What's the premise behind this?

You know, and he's like, I just want to race them. They were put on this earth to be beaten. Yeah, exactly. Hogan and Stephen.

And I'm like, what is the source of this anger that he's talking about? And then as the story came out, they were running laps where, Hogue? That's a GoPro and motorplexer. And Stephen Stefan ran a faster lap than T.

Bang. And T.J. Can't not handle it. He wants his revenge. So as we were sitting here talking about it. Well, first there's excuses. Well, the track was wet.

I was showing the kids how to race. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, I was showing the Tarts kid. I was, you know, my concern was for him and not myself because I'm that kind of guy. And the track was wet, and Stephen's down here bragged that he ran six-tenths faster than T. T.J. did. Six-tenths is what I hope said. There's a 64-second laugh, and Stefan was six-tenths faster.

I can't. I can't even believe that. He's got the screen capture. I know, but something. That's something's all. Because T.J. can race. Yeah. I mean, we went all the way down in Australia and drove these school cars via supercars,

and we'd all drive the same car around this pretty short track, real simple to learn. And in the first hour, everybody got up to speed. And we were all within a tenth of each other on this, in a real car. In a school car, anyways. I mean, I've seen T.J. drive. He knows how to get around a track. Stefan's not going to beat him by six-tenths. So listen to this.

So listen to this, though. It gets better. So as we're talking about it, I said, well, maybe we should get this race. And Hogue says, hell, yeah, I want to get this race, because I'll beat him. And I'm like, oh, let's back it down a notch here, Hogue. And he goes, no, really, if Stefan can beat him, I could beat him. So Hogue is basically challenging. I think we should even call T.J.

Because we should call T. Do you think he's awake right now? He's a stay-at-home dad here. He's got to be awake. Yeah. I mean, are you really wanting to race him? Why not? I have, the way I look at it, I've got nothing to lose.

He's supposed to be better than me. He's the one who's raced. What do I have to lose? Oh, so you're coming in like that. Why not? I like that underdouble a football team. You know, I like that at two. I mean, yeah, he's Mercer here.

Right. That's right. I'm a 10-point underdog. I have nothing to lose. But you feel confident that you can beat TJ? Why not? Do you think we can call TJ Amanda? Amanda's not on Mike today because we've got too many, because she's sick and we've got too many people in here.

What is TJ's phone number? Let's see here. Maybe we'll just give TJ's phone number out to everybody. Call this number. Let's call us home. We have no idea if he's going to actually pick up here. TJ, you there? I hear you really lightly.

He hears this really light. I can hear him. I can hear him. He's just way down there. Can you turn up, T.J. a little bit of Amanda. TJ, listen. We're sitting here discussing in this studio, this idea you came up with last week about racing at a cart race, Stephen Stephan, and Mike Hogue.

And then we have since figured out why it is you are so adamant about this race. And that is because Stephen Stephan ran a faster laugh than you. Well, first of all, is that the way you understand this? That is not the way that I understand. Of course. Then clarify, where did I go wrong there? Well, Stephen likes to think that it's okay to compare a wet track to a dry track. And really, that's not a fair comparison.

But I didn't bring up anything about wet or dry. I just said did Stephen run a quicker lap? Yeah, on a separate day at a different time. How do you know what the weather was at that time? I don't. I wasn't there. So I'm saying. So you're saying that there was a difference in track conditions, and therefore that was the reason.

Absolutely. Okay. Stefan, he couldn't hammer a hot nail in the snow. To TJ's point, you know, Steve Stephan does have a nickname around here, and it is can't get right. He has that name from a long time ago. Can't do right. Can't do anything, right? Well, he can run a quick lap, apparently.

He can run a lap. lap, he's a racer. Yeah. Here's the thing, T.J. Since we started talking about this, we started talking to Mike Hogue, and Mike Hogue's like, yeah, let's bring this on. I can beat T.J. too. Add him to the lift.

Add him to your list. Put him down. I'm added. We're in. I was telling Mike, I've got nothing to lose, man. You're the one who's the racer. Listen, I believe that I think Stephen's definitely on a better lap than Hogue, too. Okay. I do. I've seen Hogue's not there to race.

I've seen him drive on the dirt track, and it was not pretty. Who, Hogue or Stefan? Hogue. I've seen them both driving the dirt track, but last time I was, I wasn't very impressed with Hogue's driving ability on a golf cart. I mean, every time I looked at him, he was getting spun out or turned around the other way or something.

So, T.J., are you up to the challenge? I mean, Hogue and Stefan are calling you out. They're saying they want to race you, and Hogue thinks he could be too. I'm the one that showed up over there saying, let's go here. So, of course, I'm up for it. He said, let's go.

You're probably on your way over there right after this. I'm going to go to go run laps. I will put a dirt on to go right now if you want me to. T.J. Wait, what do you feel? That visual. What a shirt on? Underwear, no shirt.

Oh, y'all got a, wait, you got a camera here? I think we should have one. Hey, you know, Mike, let me jump in here now. The TJ, I'm pulling for you. And in his defense, I mean, you know, I mean, listen, if he, if there was a wet track for T.J. And a dry track for Stephen or for Hogue or anybody else, I mean, that is pretty significant. So I have to kind of get T.J.'s back on.

that. I mean, and Dale Jr., we were talking earlier before we had TJ on, you were surprised here in these lap times, but that's a big factor, is it not? Well, things are starting to make a little bit of sense here. What track are we going to run this on? Do we got it? Oh, we need to go to where there's official timing and scoring. Oh, really?

See, TJ's nervous. TJ, obviously, a little nervous that. I'm not nervous about it. He wants a bunch of amateurs. It's not a lot of them. Well, he wants official timing and wants, you know, documentation. Yeah, right. It's not more of the parking on Mike Davis has a stopwatch.

TJ, are you going to, like, demand drug tests and all that stuff in Mayweather and Packeow do? He's obviously a little concerned. I'm not too concerned about it at all, actually. I know the outcome. I appreciate the confidence. Don't you think that this time everybody should compete under the same conditions, though? Yes. Yeah.

Well, he says they have it. Well, he said the conditions were different for him last time. There's something you've got to know about TJ. He's a competitor. He's one of the competitors. you can't. Well, I can also tell you that if you want proof on it, LaTart was there with his boy running his little running his little racing cart, and he wanted to see what a lap time in a rental cart would do.

So that's when I got in there and ran that lap, and that's when that lap was run. And I've already tried to go there. I've already tried to get my old lap times because I've run way fast than what Stefan's run there already. Now I'm confused. So you get in a rental car? That's the real estate's, that's one of that's TJ's tricks, man. I'll talk you in circles. Yeah.

Now I'm confused. And the next step is that I'm going to think TJ's going to smoke you, which is what T.J. want. I fail for it. I am too because, I mean, it sounded at first like, you know, listen, unless I'm, you know,

Eriton Sinha here, you know, if it's raining, those are bad conditions. And are we going to say I beat you by what? Half a second? Sixth tense like Stefan did? What do you think? I mean, I would, if you beat me by half a second, I will be, I mean, I don't even know.

That's the worst nightmare. What's in it for me, T.J. Do you even show up? Do you even show up at a racetrack ever again if Hogue beat you? I mean, really, I wouldn't. I mean, probably not. There's a lot of things I'd probably never do again if Hogue beat me at it. Well, I hope Dickerson's listening then.

I mean, if he's going to be, if he's never showing up at a racetrack again, we've got to have some options here. T.J. are you going to race clean? I mean, are we going to the same sentence? Racing or are we going by lap times here? I think we go by lap times for sure. But like Dale Jr. said, everybody needs to be there at the same time. Yeah, I mean, we can do lap time.

We can do both for all. I care. We can do a little lap time session. Then we can hop on and have a race. Well, T.J., we'll be back in touch with you with the terms and conditions of this race, and we'll make this happen. Yeah, don't think that it's just going to be simply you beat them to the finish line. This has got J.R.M. 360 written all over it. No, we'll do it as a Jared.

Do you not remember the little team get-together last year? Yeah, you dive-bombing everybody. Cheating. I got a trophy. Before the green flag comes, you're all whipped. The commissioner's office will be in touch with you, T.J. We will make this happen. All right.

Be prepared. Sounds like you've got a project for the rest of the day, Hogue. Oh, goodness. All right. We'll let T.J. Get the last word in there, Hogue. See you, T.J. Have a good day, buddy.

See you, brother. Hilarious stuff there. I can't wait to see what the terms and conditions are on this. It should be fun. All right. Before we get to Reaction Theater here, remember it is open 24-7, and you can always participate in this. So we only have a couple of off weeks during the year,

and we are coming off one right now. But we had a fun idea for this reaction theater, Mike Davis. Yeah, what did we tweet yesterday, Hogue? We said, you know, a lot of times people come up to us and say, man, if I just had one hour, man, I'd take junior deer hunting, and we'd go shoot at the range, and then we'd go to the bar, drink a couple beers. So we tweeted out yesterday like, if you, if Junior was in your hometown and you were driving him around, you were his host for an hour, where would you take him?

What would you do? You know, give us the itinerary. And we threw that out on Twitter, and Amanda compiled some of the best dancers for reaction theaters, so let's listen to them. If I had junior to take to my hometown, we'd play paintball. And I'd bring Hogue and Davis, and it'd be on. Beat that.

So you're not only being challenged on the racetrack, but now I'm paintball. Paintball, too. I come. I can't play paintball. I don't know. I guess you just don't look like the paintball kind of guy. For that guy. I don't know.

All right, let's see what's next. If I, Nikki Bobby, was going to spend one hour with Dale Jr., I'd crack a mountain dew and challenge him to see who can change the oil fastest in a Camaro. Well, if you think you can take down the champ and they'll change. Eight minutes. That's a big talk right there from that, dude. Eight minutes. I can do it eight minutes.

That was my fastest back when I was changing oil dealership. You know, they gave me hell the other day for timing my lawn mowing times, you know, to have a record. But the fact that you were timing your oil change. Well, it was 29 minutes or less. So, Jim. Or they got it free? Or they got it free.

And so, you know, 29 minutes. I was timing them because they put me on commission for a week. So I could do eight minutes old change. I could see how many I could. Yeah, then they took me off commission. Do you still think you have an eight-minute old change in you? Sure. Certainly.

All right. What would I do if Dale Jr. came to mine town? You know, it sounds cliche, but I would just have to take them to the extreme indoor go-carting track up in about five miles. from my house, winner lose, I get to say I race against Dale Jr. Dale, yeah. Was that T.J.?

T.J. No, because I wasn't T.J. Because he said, Win or lose. Dale, yeah. That's not T.J. Dale Jr. came to the Nadi, Ohio,

where I'm from. I would absolutely just sit on my back porch for one hour and drink beers with them. There's nothing else better to do than sit down and have a beer with Dale Jr. Hell yeah. Simple. That sounds good.

That's the best idea so far. We've got the best one so far. I know exactly what the hell I'd do. I've been thinking about it forever. First thing I do is I'd load up old sloppy yellow full of Budweiser and Shiner. Three of the most dangerous, nasty, disgusting bars in the world reside right here at my hometown in Texas. And first thing we do is we'd load up and we'd go to the first one, Woody's, and we'd stay there and we'd have drinks until we either saw somebody get their ass whoop, we got our asses or we whoop somebody's ass.

It'll probably take about four beers. Then we get in Plumby Yellow and drive to the second nastiest son of a bitch in the world called Happy Days. We'd buy Junior Happy Days T-shirt. I know he collects weird T-shirts. We buy a year's a T-shirt. And we'd stay there until four drinks, or we've seen a roughneck come in with clean fingers. Which means we'd be there for four beers. And then we get in the top of yellow.

We drop to the Arbott Dillow Club. By this time, we got plenty of courage in us. And we get up on the karaoke stand. and we'd sing damn karaoke until they kicked us out, which probably be, and if it's me singing probably two songs. But we'd sing, have a good old time, and at the end of the night to cap it off,

we'd pack everybody in the sloppy yellow, drive to my town's water tower, and we'd climb to the top and we'd write, Kyle Bush fucking sucks. Gold Dale Jr. letters. Well, it's the longest hour ever. That's awesome. I'm hoping somebody else is driving, y'all, just for whatever it's worth here.

Because Dado can have a lot of fun. I've seen Datto up close and personal. There you go. Reaction Theater is open 24-7. All you have to do is call toll-free 1-855-740-1902. Again, toll-free like it's 1983. And leave us your voicemail message. And we'll play the best each week right here on Dirty Mo Radio.

I know Ms. Amy is hanging out with Kelly this week on FastL Lane family, so check that out. That should be fun. And then on Friday, you have J.R.M. 360, the podcast. It's ridiculous and uninformative. So, of course, Mike Davis is the host, but it's guaranteed for a good laugh. And then, of course, Monday we come back with the racing recap with Amanda Troutman doing a great job there from Junior Motorsports nationwide and late-mile teams and also Dale's Sprint Cup series run. Junior, when you see that you have a week off, I'm sure you get excited to get away from things for a while after you have so many weeks going to all these different places. But how quickly do you get fired up and say,

all right, ready to get back in the car again? I think that, you know, I don't know. You miss it right away. And, you know, you kind of try to go half the good time, but there ain't a race, so ain't much you can do about it. You just kind of go off and have a good time. But it is weird not going to the racetrack and being with the guys on the weekend and working on a car.

Richmond is one of your favorite spots, is it not? I like Richmond. It's good and short track racing. You know, Richmond's the track itself. I've been more fond of it in the past when they used to seal it. That was a lot of fun when we used to chase the sealer up the racetrack, but they don't do that anymore. But, you know, so we all just kind of stick to the bottom

and really try to get around the bottom of the track best we can. What does chase the sealer mean? The sealer is this stuff they lay down on the racetrack that sort of preserve the surface. And it kind of gives the track. It makes it really, really slick at first, but after we run on it for a while and we sort of get it hot and tacky, it's like pouring Pepsi syrup on the track.

It just adds grip. And basically you wear it off, and, you know, we kind of wear it off the bottom groove first, and then you start chasing it up the racetrack, trying to get the right side tires in it. And by the, you know, by, it doesn't wear away in one race. It takes a few races, but we'll chase. It'll be up there in a high groove for,

years. And we'll run way up there looking for it. And it's awesome because the bottom's working and the top's working. They don't do it anymore. I've been begging them to seal it. They said that it's as hard and as fast as we go these days that it might be more destructive on the surface. All right, Mike Davis, let's throw the white flag.

I guess I know who's reading it. You know it. Let's go, Hogi. White flag right there, white flag. Now that Dale Jr. has finally come back from vacation, it's time to put him to work. Today, after recording this epic podcast, Dale has a commercial shoot with Diet Mountain Dew. Tomorrow is a fairly light. He will be calling into hogshaven.com and speaking with if it's at its raining kin.

Thursday, they'll be making an afternoon trip to his first National Guard high school appearance of the 2014 season in Kentucky. you can follow me at Mike Hogue 8. Of course you wrote that.
