Dale Earnhardt Jr. is back in the Bojangles Studio for another edition of Dirty Air. After another frustrating short track race for the NASCAR NextGen car, there was a lot to get into:

• Denny Hamlin/Marcus Smith Twitter beef
• Martinsville Cup winner William Byron calls in
• The sense of urgency to fix the short track package is FINALLY here
• Sammy Smith tries out Cherry Lemon SunDrop
• Dale’s advice for JRM driver Sam Mayer

During the Ask Jr. portion of the show, listeners wanted to know about:

• Watching the solar eclipse
• What the typical lazy day is like
• Getting a shout-out from J Cole
