==Season 1==
Season 1 of Dinner With Racers saw the duo driving around the country in Eversley's Acura MDX, equipped with Continental Tires. The series quickly gained a cult following due to the diverse guest list and quality of the conversations the hosts had. The atmosphere of recording the podcasts over dinner allowed for listeners to feel as if they were also at the dinner table.http://blackflag.jalopnik.com/which-podcasts-are-helping-you-survive-the-long-dull-d-1789940538 Highlights of the season include Sean calling motorsports commentator Bob Varsha an "asshole",http://www.dinnerwithracers.com/episode-2-bob-varsha/ and spreading the unsubstantiated rumor that Spencer Pumpelly killed a guy.
==Season 2==
After the success of the original season, Eversley and Heckman were approached by Continental about the possibility of creating a follow up season.http://www.continentaltire.com/news/picking-check-again-%E2%80%9Cdinner-racers%E2%80%9D-podcast-launches-second-season Announced on Twitter, the Dinner With Racers team allowed fans to ride along with them as they traveled across the country in a Honda Odyssey, significantly increasing their social media sharing and promotion as they visited guests. The second season once again included a great mix of sports car drivers, team owners, and engineers, while also expanding into the world of NASCAR, with guests such as Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Landon Cassill, Kenny Wallace and Marty Smith.https://twitter.com/MartySmithESPN/status/809800436853174272 A major theme of the series was Bill Riley of Riley Technologies, who was a guest host of the podcast in cardboard form. Bill Riley's performance during the season was considered.. flat. The team also created a music video in his honor.http://motorsports.nbcsports.com/tag/continental-tire/?iframe=true&preview=true/feed/ This season spread the unsubstantiated rumor that Johnny O'Connell tried to murder Dario Franchitti.
