Zane Smith Crossed the Line & Dale Says NASCAR Has to Act

Dale Jr. and the crew recap Phoenix with just three races left in the championship battle. They get into Kyle Larson’s struggles, Christopher Bell closing in on the points lead, and the incidents between Riley Herbst and Michael McDowell, along with Zane Smith and Carson Hocevar. Dale explains why he believes NASCAR needs to draw a line when it comes to post-race contact, especially when drivers are hitting each other at 130 mph.

With Talladega up next, Dale wants to see Denny Hamlin take more chances and get back to the way he used to race at superspeedways. TJ has a different take on how much the Next Gen car limits drivers, and the guys debate what it takes to make moves and stay in the championship fight.

Tyler Reddick joins the show to talk about his Phoenix win, how his team has found speed on long runs, and the strategy that could make a difference at Talladega. He also opens up about how much the demands of racing have changed with less practice time and more work behind the scenes.

Plus, Dale shares his latest college football obsession after pulling a Bear Bachmeier autograph card, the guys make their Talladega picks on Dirty Mo Dough, and Dale answers your questions on Ask Jr. They also talk about JRM’s plans for Talladega and an upcoming Whatnot auction featuring some cool pieces from Dale’s storage unit.
