There was a time in NASCAR when broadcasting was the go-to way to learn more about the happenings in the sport. But over the course of the last decade or so, a new format of reporting news and discussing what goes in and out of stock car racing has emerged, podcasting. And no other media company has been as instrumental and impactful in this sphere of modern NASCAR as Dale Earnhardt Jr’s Dirty Mo Media.

It could very well be said that Junior’s company revolutionized the podcasting business when it comes to NASCAR. Not only does it contain a variety of shows with a variety of coverages, but they’re all pretty successful. They are sometimes even controversial.

Just consider Door Bumper Clear. It is a podcast in which spotters of NASCAR drivers like Bubba Wallace, and Brad Keselowski discuss rumors, unfiltered opinions, and more which sometimes venture into hot waters.

So now that Denny Hamlin, the veteran driver-owner, has joined Dale Jr’s media umbrella with a podcast show of his own, concerns are there about his outspoken nature leading his new show into the same territory as DBC finds itself in sometimes.

But if Dale Earnhardt is to be believed, Hamlin will steer clear of that path simply because he knows better.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. believes Denny Hamlin is a lot more sensible than it seems

Speaking about Hamlin potentially saying things that may get him in trouble, Dale Earnhardt Jr reasoned, “I don’t think he will get into the type of controversies or challenges that we see from Door Bumper Clear from time to time.”

“Denny will be a lot more measured and less by the seat of his pants,” he explained. “He’s definitely going to be more calculated.”

Expect entertainment from Denny Hamlin!
