Jeffrey Earnhardt joins Davey Segal (6:40) to debrief his season to date in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and top 15 run at Bristol with Sam Hunt Racing. He explains why running a partial schedule with no real momentum has been a challenge and how he and team owner Sam Hunt joined forces.
Having a famous last name, Earnhardt has been unfairly labeled as a racer who's had everything given to him, but that couldn't be further from the truth. The grandson of "The Intimidator" explains why his family didn't want him to race in the first place, why his last name is a blessing and a curse as well as how the trials and tribulations he's gone through make him better.
Earnhardt piloted the famed No. 3 car for Richard Childress Racing at Talladega earlier this year, winning the pole and finishing second. He reminisces about that memorable day, his time running in the Cup Series, driving for a laundry list of organizations, the monumental jump from Xfinity to Cup, whether he wants to get back to the top level of stock car racing and more. Plus, his passion for fishing, the biggest one he's ever caught, why he opted to try MMA for a bit, his expectations for Texas this weekend and the remainder of the 2022 season.
Papa Segal pays homage to "Uncle Brenny," Davey discusses the Round of 16 elimination race at Bristol, the Next Gen issues that persisted and looks ahead to the Round of 12 at Texas.
