What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This is podcast gold for NASCAR fans! Denny’s insights both as a driver and owner are unmatched. He tells it like it is, and is not afraid of any “consequences” that may come his way. I have gained valuable understanding about many things that always go unspoken, such as the charter agreement, the network deals, and the ins and outs of on-track, driver interactions. You might not like what he says, and it may hurt your feelings, but he’s usually right.

I’ve been following NASCAR since 1968. You gotta route for a guy who’s been so close so many times for the championship yet continues to fight hard. This podcast offers firsthand knowledge of what Denny and the team are doing on the track. Always interesting to listen to. Good job to you guys for putting out an excellent show. Go Denny.

I co-host another racing podcast (The Racing Roundtable), and Denny’s insights and Jared’s questions offer everyone a great peek behind the scenes of one of our sport’s stars. Your guys’ show is a fun listen ahead of when we tape ours later in the week. PS - Curious if now weeks after the Nashville win, has Denny learned to play guitar with his new trophy and if so, what songs is he planning on learning/already playing? Thanks! Dominic

Actions Detrimental delivers some of the most honest and unfiltered NASCAR commentary. Denny brings a rare perspective as an active Cup Series driver and team owner, giving listeners real insight into race strategy, in-race decision making, and what actually happens beyond what you see on TV. Jered balances the conversation perfectly, keeping things grounded, organized, and engaging while helping guide the flow of discussion. They dynamic between the two feels natural and sharp and never overly scripted. Back to Denny. For what it is worth coming from a fan, he should be proud of the son, father, man, and leader he has become. I look forward to continuing to follow his journey as a leader in the NASCAR community. I haven’t yet had the opportunity to meet him. I’m based in the Phoenix area and unfortunately missed the chance when he was at Bob’s Discount Furniture, as I was at the IndyCar race. Maybe I can convince Bob to bring him back in October with the prospect of buying a couch!
