Why Carson Hocevar's Celebration Makes Him Cry

Fridays are our favorite days of the week around here — what's yours? Well, if you listen to Dirty Thirty, you might be right there with us. In just 30 minutes, we take you through a journey of topics that have the Dirty Mo Media world buzzing. Our first stop comes in at Dale Jr. Download station, where Dale dives into the happening over at Richard Childress Racing and the news that Jim Pohlman is OUT as Kyle Busch's crew chief (although he technically got promoted...)  Next up, we travel to the moon and back — sort of. Noah Gragson and Chase Briscoe joined Door Bumper Clear and had a riot of a time. But the train really went off the rails when they got into this weekend's waxing crescent moon and how it *allegedly* affects the grip of the racetrack. We end up with Noah calling Josh Berry, Riley Herbst, & Austin Dillon to confirm the conspiracy. Dale interrupts the show to tell you about FAN DAY on May 21st at JR Motorsports!  Back to the action of the show, Denny Hamlin chimes in on the debate stirred up by Stephen A. Smith, which entailed whether or not NASCAR drivers are considered athletes. All the way back at the very beginning of the week, The Teardown hosted NASCAR's newest CEO, Steve O'Donnell, to talk about the future of the sport and what he plans to do with feedback. Our closer is a popular man this week — Carson Hocevar stopped into the Arby's studio to discuss his first-ever Cup Series win, his all-time celebration, and the motion that comes with watching it back. It's another packed episode! Don't forget to buy our merch at shop.dirtymomedia.com to rep our gear.
