Herm & Schrader

She's 22, she drives a 12,000-horsepower Top Fuel dragster for Ron Capps, and she still remembers exactly what it felt like the day her dad found out — before she did. Kenny sits down with NHRA rising star Maddi Gordon to talk about the wildest way anyone's ever gotten offered a ride (spoiler: she was on a motorcycle when she found out), the double-family-win day that changed everything, and fangirling over Sophie Cunningham backstage at NASCAR.But there's way more to Maddi than the win light. She started a fabrication company with her sister when she was 15 — before she even knew she had to pay taxes on it. She was welding trailers at 12. She's given up wakeboarding, snow skiing, and street motorcycles because she's not risking an injury that could take her out of the car. And when she's not strapped into a dragster, she's still working on the family business — a custom cabinet shop her grandparents started over 50 years ago. Three generations of racing, a dad who's an Alcohol Funny Car champion himself, a sister who builds the engines and does the taxes, and a driver who says racing isn't just what she does — it's what she was put on this earth to do. Full send, zero fear, and an absolute joy to talk to. This one's a ride.  Real fans wear Dirty Mo. Hit the link and join the crew.👇 shop.dirtymomedia.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Rick Mast sits in for Herm this week, and he and Ken Schrader waste no time getting into it. The Blaney-Hocevar fight at Bristol gets the full breakdown — who really screwed up, why Rick says the real mistake happened before a punch was ever thrown, and what it means that fans can't get enough of Hocevar while the garage can't stand him. They’re not pulling any punches when it comes to their thoughts on what needs to happen with the rising star and the drivers who have to put up with him.From there the guys get into Jesse Love beating himself up over a mistake, and why they say he needs to let it go, and where Logano's playoff run stacks up. They’re also getting into Denny Hamlin’s Chase performance so far and what the regular-season champ needs to do in the next seven races to win. There’s also the Kyle Busch tribute that Ty Gibbs made in Bristol and why the guys say despite previous issues with Gibbs’s behavior, they’re seeing a change for the better for the young racer.  They also get into the sobering reality of racing, the fact that crashes do happen and how life changing they can be.Finally, they end the show on a lighter note with some jokes – courtesy of Rodney Dangerfield. This week’s episode of Herm and Schrader has it all – except for Herm.  Real fans wear Dirty Mo. Hit the link and join the crew.👇 shop.dirtymomedia.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Kenny Wallace sits down with Nick Hoffman fresh off the biggest win of his career — the 56th running of the World 100, the most-watched Dirt Late Model race ever broadcast. They get into what it felt like watching his text messages blow up from Australia to a hotel lobby full of Cup drivers, why Kenny publicly called the win five days early, life at the shop with his crew being neighbors with Ricky Stenhouse Jr., the truth about NASCAR money creeping into dirt racing, and his growing mentorship of Carson Hocevar. Hoffman also talks about his decision to race for Spire as the team enters into dirt racing. It's part victory lap, part behind-the-curtain look at what it costs — financially and mentally — to win the biggest race in dirt racing. Real fans wear Dirty Mo.

Eighteen cautions, four-wide into turn one on a flat mile,  brakes going away everywhere you looked – and at the end of it Kyle Larson breaks a 51-race drought on four fresh tires while Joey Logano sits there with two. The guys agree last weekend was one of the best races they've seen at the track -- and they'd tell you if it wasn't.NASCAR's TV viewership is up almost every week this year, and Herm, Schrader get into why – shocker – they’re crediting a lot to Carson Hocevar stirring things up and a new generation of drivers who don't hold anything back. There’s also the entertainment side of things and tracks like Worldwide Technology figuring out that a race weekend has to be a show, not just a race, the guys break down why that might matter as much as who wins. Also this week: we’re wondering what Denny Hamlin said to Carson Hocevar before the race and if it changed his driving in St. Louis, and taking a look at the messy logistics and possibility of Dodge getting back into The Cup Series.

Michael Waltrip sits down with Kenny Wallace for one of the most honest conversations of his career. They go all the way back to Owensboro, Kentucky, where a broke kid with a borrowed go-kart ended up crashing on Kyle Petty's basement floor, then Richard Petty's guest room, just trying to find a way into NASCAR. From there it's one wild story after another: the horrifying 1990 Bristol wreck that left him standing next to a mangled car with his feet on the ground, the Dale Earnhardt friendship that turned into a Cup team, and the commercials that made him one of the most beloved characters the sport has ever se en.But this isn't just a highlight reel — it's Mikey getting real about the losses that gutted him, the brother who cast a long shadow, and how he turned "broke as a joke" into two Daytona 500 trophies and three decades on Fox. If you only know him as the goofy guy from the booth, this conversation will change that.  Real fans wear Dirty Mo.
