Hey everybody, I'm Dellen Hart Jr. and this is the Dirty 30. The best highlights from all of our

podcast this week, 30 minutes every single Friday, the Dirty 30 coming at you.

Let's get right to it. So Ryan Blaney is in the studio. You think about how great y'all are at Phoenix

as the organization. You look at how great y'all are at Phoenix as an organization.

You look at New Hampshire as a track that could be somewhat, you know, similar. And so if you do

whatever you're doing at Phoenix that's working should maybe work there as well at Loudoun.

But then also the 22 is able to do the tire test and it is a little bit of a different

tire but how much of the test versus just being already good at that racetrack

compounds that they were doing.

And luckily, it was able to apply.

So those tracks have kind of always been a strength of ours. But I think having that tire test was beneficial. I think that tire is better for us, like something that has more falloff. I feel like our cars always run a little bit better because we can manage our stuff a little bit more. So yeah, just you got to take advantage of tests, you know, and that 22 team did a great job of doing that. Maybe you can explain this as well.

It's a fun conversation in the sport, how Joe Lugano, right, will have a relatively quiet,

regular season, you know, pop off some wins, but for the most part,

a lot of times kind of just disappears some races. It doesn't make a ton of noise.

But man, when the playoffs come, y'all get better. Are you as like kind of impressed by what joey can do and what his team can do

as the rest of us are are you you see it inside and internally and it's not a big surprise to you

it's not a big surprise to me anymore um been teammates with joey for long enough to where i

know and how good he is and how kind of
