Dirty Mo Live from Fan Day
About this episode
Dirty Mo Live from Junior Motorsports Fan Day kicks off with a live Serious XM intro and sponsor banter, then blends racing stories with dirt-car and O’Reilly series career stats. Dale Jr. and guests trade memories—like meeting Dale Jr. before fame and Volusia’s asphalt-to-dirt history—before pivoting to barbecue, Ken Schrader’s recent activity, and a big announcement: a new Dirty Mo show focused on bull riding. The conversation expands into PBR origins, injuries, fundraising, and even a movie connection to “Eight Seconds.”
The following program, Dirty Mo Live, was recorded on Thursday morning, May 21st, at JR Motorsports Fan Day.
Mike Davis and Kenny Wallace take over the Arby's Stage at JR Motorsports Fan Day for a live episode packed with crowd interaction, nonstop laughs, and iconic Herm energy we all know and love. The guys joke about Kenny’s famous drink order, the routines he refuses to change, and the random everyday habits that somehow spiral into full-on debates in front of the fans. Between stories from the road and reactions to the packed crowd, several fans asked questions to spice things up.
Later, Jerome and Tiffany Davis make their first appearance as the hosts of Dirty Mo Media’s newest podcast, This Cowboy Life. The couple talks about life in the rodeo world, running a ranch, raising a family around Western sports, and what inspired them to bring those experiences to Dirty Mo Media. They also share what listeners can expect from the new show and why they’re excited to introduce a whole new side of sports and lifestyle content to the audience.
From live-show chaos and racing stories to rodeo life and big announcements, this Fan Day episode brings a little bit of everything to the stage at JR Motorsports.

power steering
"[817.6s] It didn't show up at that night at South Boston two years ago. [823.1s] I think because I had better power steering. [825.5s] Well, that would help."
Power steering helps you steer with less effort. That can matter a lot in racing because turning the wheel hard for long periods can hurt your arms or shoulder.
Power steering is a system that uses an assist mechanism (typically hydraulic or electric) to reduce the effort needed to turn the steering wheel. In racing, better steering assist can make sustained cornering less physically demanding, especially when you’re rotating into turns.
low and slow
"[872.3s] We're talking a quarter pound of pulled pork smoked for four hours [876.1s] and a quarter pound of chopped brisket smoked for a full 13 hours. [880.3s] Now that's real barbecue, low and slow."
“Low and slow” means cooking barbecue at a low temperature for a long time. It helps the meat get tender and flavorful.
