    Longtime Earnhardt fan and longtime listener, huge fan of dirtyMo and I really enjoy listening to Dale and the guys talk racing. Highlight of my work day. The knowledge and opinions are my favorite. But what’s up with not saying the NASCAR 26 codes out loud! I need that PlayStation code! Also let’s go Larson! He won the championship last year without winning.. let’s go momentum! Keep doing what y’all are doing, Hope to meet y’all someday!

    Trying to listen to a show with constant bleeps is almost impossible. Either get Dale to stop swearing and be a professional or just let it ride.
