This is Dale Jr., and you're listening to Dirty Mo Radio.

Unhappy times on Sunday night as Dale Jr. has his worst race of the year, Mike.

It was a night to forget for a lot of people.

The Dale Jr. download starts now.

Happy Memorial Day. I'm Taylor Zarser with Mike Davis and Dustin Lee.

As we sit here from Charlotte Motor Speedway, recapping a race, as you said,

just a moment ago, Mike wanted to forget for Dale and our Jr.

as he finishes way back in the pack after his engine blows up.

He said a catastrophic engine failure ended his night and time to move on.

Well, you're right, Taylor. You have to move on at 39th place finishes.

Certainly not what we were hoping for, but it doesn't happen very often.

I mean, this is Dale Jr.'s first DNF, let's see, since 2011.

And only his third DNF in the Steve look-tart era.

So it doesn't happen often and motor failures certainly does not happen

with the Hendrick Motorsports group. It's just one of those things.

And it stinks at a half the night because the 88 team was really hoping to have a good run

and kind of get back to their early season form.

But you got to move on. It's still early in the season.

I think they fell to six in the points. I think 81 points back now.

So it took a points hit, not a terrible hit, but we'll move on the dover.

Yeah, I mean, I know, listen, a lot, we're going to hear the reaction theater people

and they're going to be all over what happens on a night like that.
