Dale Earnhardt Jr. and TJ Majors launch Daytona Speedweeks by diving straight into the chaos and strategy of the Daytona 500. From qualifying and open cars to fuel-saving tactics that have completely changed superspeedway racing, Dale breaks down what drivers are really thinking when the green flag drops. He explains why lifting at Daytona feels wrong, what the race should represent, and why no other event in NASCAR carries the same weight. Fast cars, big strategy, and the pressure that only Daytona brings—this is where Speedweeks begin. THE PODCASTS YOU LOVE. THE MERCH YOU NEED.
