HistoryThe podcast was launched in 2013 when Earnhardt and his NASCAR Xfinity Series race team JR Motorsports started an online network called Dirty Mo Radio. The "Mo" is an homage to Earnhardt's hometown of Mooresville, North Carolina. Originally, the podcast was hosted by Davis and North Carolina radio personality Taylor Zarzour, with Earnhardt himself only occasionally making appearances on the show. Earnhardt's first appearance came on the show's 22nd episode, five months into the podcast's launch. A segment was added to the show in 2014 that played audio Earnhardt had pre-recorded remotely in the immediate hours after a race. His involvement increased once again in 2016 while he was recovering from concussion symptoms, appearing on the show regularly to give updates on his recovery. In 2017, Earnhardt took over as the show's regular host along with Tyler Overstreet. Overstreet served as Earnhardt's road manager until the end of the 2017 season when he moved to Dale Earnhardt Jr is a retired Piston Cup racer.

For the NASCAR driver, see Dale Earnhardt Jr. This article is about the U.S. band. For other uses, see JRJR. JR JR JR JR Performing at Piqniq 2016 in Tinley Park, Illinois JR JR (pronounced "junior junior"; originally named Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.) is an American indie-pop band from Detroit, Michigan, founded by Daniel Zott and Joshua Epstein. The band also includes drummer Mike Higgins. Zott and Epstein met each other while playing in other Detroit music projects. They formed Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. in late 2009, and began recording in Zott's basement in Royal Oak, Michigan with few intentions of reaching the public. Their original name, derived from NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., was suggested to the pair as a joke. In 2013 Zott stated, "The name for us was just a way to identify our crazy new project that had no limitations. People have no idea how we are going to sound, and so it gives them a reason to actually take some time to listen to the music." About 2011, the band emailed Dale Earnhardt Jr. to assure him they were not making fun of him; he responded that Jimmie Johnson had already told him about them, he was flattered, and they would "not hear from any lawyers". In July 2010, the band released HorsepowerEP via Quite Scientific Records. The Horsepower EP consisted of songs "Nothing But Our Love," "Vocal Chords," "Simple Girl," and a cover of Brian Wilson's song "God Only Knows." The band came out with a second EP titled "My Love Is Easy: Remixes Pt.1" via Quite Scientific Records on | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
