Zane Smith Broke The No. 1 Rule in Stock Car Racing

Dale and TJ might be on vacation this week, but that won’t stop them from delivering another episode of *Dirty Air* on *The Dale Jr. Download* after a headline-filled weekend from NASCAR’s return to Chicagoland.

Live from the Arby’s Studio (if you’re Travis), the show kicks off with Dale’s take on the Chicagoland race weekend, why the track is important to NASCAR, the intention to return, and what still needs to be addressed for the fans’ sake.

With a couple of on-track incidents in the Cup race, Dale and TJ share their thoughts on the self-policing the Cup Series garage has experienced lately and explain why the incidents involving SVG & Austin Hill and Zane Smith & Carson Hocevar are great for the sport. Is the points system to blame for some of this aggression?

Plus, Brad Keselowski is using the media to gain leverage with Ford, Larson’s winless streak might be a sign of concern, and the bracket challenge has Dale wondering if it will survive.

Race winner Chase Briscoe also calls into the show to talk about his patriotic victory in Chicago and to share some exciting news.

The show wraps up with Ask Jr. and Dirty Mo Dough, bringing another fantastic episode.
