It feels like time is flying at the speed of sound, and that's why this power-packed 30 minutes has the very best from Dirty Mo Media's week of shows following the race in Atlanta — so you can catch up on all the action.\nDale Jr. kicks us off with a conversation surrounding the storm that blew through Atlanta, known as Hurricane Hocevar. He and TJ discuss what payback looks like and Hocevar's role in the sport, which is much more important than you might think.\nNext up, Dario Franchitti was supposed to join us in the Arby's studio, but the snow up north forced him to call in; however, the distance didn't keep this episode from being an instant classic. We pick up with him here about his friendship with Jimmie Johnson, and how his Truck ride with Tricon for St. Petersburg came together.\nGet the bathtubs ready, Blaney fans, Ryan dropped in to Door Bumper Clear, where we learned about his pet llama's daring escape and the unconventional ways he's taking care of that sweet 'stache he's sporting.\nRemember that Hocevar guy we talked about earlier? Well, he and Jeff Gluck talk about the waves he's making in the Cup Series in one of our newest shows, The Gluckcast, dropping every Thursday on the Teardown's podcast feeds. You'll want to hear how he feels about his driving style, sending apology texts, and how he feels about his nickname.\nThat's all we have for you this time! We'll see you next week for another turbocharged episode. \nReal fans wear Dirty Mo. Hit the link and join the crew.👇\nshop.dirtymomedia.com/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
