After NASCAR’s first points race at North Wilkesboro since 1996, Dale, TJ and Travis are back in studio to break down all of the weekend’s headlines – including some Joey Logano domination.
After word that NASCAR will be extending practice time for the Cup Series, Dale explains just how crucial it is for drivers like Connor Zilisch to utilize that track time and get laps to help dial in their season. Dale also talks about why North Wilkesboro hasn’t been all about the racing for him, including what he confessed to Marty Smith before going on air with TNT.
The group also dives into Josh Berry’s abysmal season, and why the results don’t represent the talent level that Josh possesses. Is there enough time left in the season for Josh to prove himself for a Cup ride in 2027 and beyond?
Plus, Ask Jr gets into Logano’s comments about tandem drafting, what cars Dale has added to his graveyard, meeting Sonny Styles, and drinking whiskey (or not) on the post-race show.
All this and more on another episode of The Dale Jr Download presented by ARBYYYYYY’SSSSSS.
