If Carson Hocevar Drove for Dale Jr, Things Would Be Different

Dale Jr. got BACK behind the wheel, and he’s got plenty to talk about after getting back into a race car at Florence Motor Speedway.

On this episode of the Dale Jr. Download, Dale breaks down his CARS Tour weekend, his run to a second-place finish, racing Kaden Honeycutt, and what’s next as he continues working with Tony Eury Jr.

He also talks about the new safety equipment he tested, including a new seat.

Then, the conversation turns to NASCAR’s qualifying metric after rain washed out practice and qualifying at Darlington. Dale and TJ debate whether the current system rewards success, whether qualifying order should be based on points, and if there’s a better way to create a fair playing field.

The crew also dives into the ongoing Carson Hocevar controversy following his incident with Brad Keselowski. Dale and TJ discuss Hocevar’s aggressive racing style, the lack of explanation or apology after incidents, and how many times a driver can push his competitors before someone decides enough is enough. Will the No. 6 team retaliate this coming weekend? When will these incidents finally come back to haunt Carson?

Finally, the guys break down the championship picture coming out of Darlington. Christopher Bell made a major move in the standings, Denny Hamlin had a difficult points day, and several drivers are going to have their work cut out for them as the Chase continues.

As always, the show wraps with Ask Jr and Dirty Mo Dough.
