The following is a production of Dirtymo Media.

Hey guys, I'm Dale Jr. back again for another episode of the Dale Jr. download,

and I got a special show for you this Wednesday for our guest segment.

Doug Richard, part of our Becoming Earnhardt series was an interview with Doug,

a long-form interview to sort of dig into the 1980 season.

And we used some of those clips from Doug's interview to really help bring home the message of the Becoming Earnhardt series that's out.

All six episodes available now for you to listen.

Well, this long-form interview is something that I'm excited for y'all to see.

He was my dad's crew chief during that 1980 season. At just 20 years old, he was pushed into the

role to be crew chief to help them continue their momentum on that run to the championship.

We had a great conversation about him, dad's relationship, the championship run, all of the drama

around the team, and we got to relive this famous pit stop at Ontario where dad almost loses

the championship. Doug tells a lot of great stories, including the time where he took my dad's car for

a victory lap around the track, picking up some girl along the way that day in Ontario,

celebrating that championship.

If you haven't already, again, check out Becoming Earnhardt, 1980.

The new season is amazing.

All six episodes available wherever you listen to podcasts.

And I learned a lot about my dad through making this series, the 1979 and now the 1980 season.

And I know you will too.

So here's my conversation with Doug.

I hope you'll enjoy it.
