Former Duke standout Kon Knueppel is making the most of his summer, and it's not just by hitting the gym. The sharpshooter has been on a podcast tour that would make any sports fan jealous. His latest stop? A featured appearance on the "Dale Jr. Download," hosted by none other than two-time Daytona 500 champion Dale Earnhardt Jr.

This isn't Knueppel's first time stepping into the podcast spotlight. Just weeks ago, he sat down with Milwaukee Brewers star Christian Yelich, showing off his versatility as a guest across different sports. But his chat with Earnhardt Jr. carries extra weight. The host is the son of the legendary Dale Earnhardt, who shares the record for the most NASCAR championships in history—seven titles—alongside Richard Petty and Jimmie Johnson.

For Knueppel, these appearances are more than just interviews. They're a chance to connect with fans beyond the basketball court, sharing stories from his college career at Duke and his journey in the sport. Whether he's talking hoops with a baseball MVP or swapping tales with a NASCAR icon, Knueppel is proving he's as comfortable in the studio as he is on the hardwood.
