[autotag]Dale Earnhardt Jr.[/autotag] hasn’t competed in more than one NASCAR race during a season since his retirement; however, that will change this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Earnhardt will drive the No. 88 car for JR Motorsports as he tackles Homestead for the first time since the 2020 season when he finished in fifth place.
The JR Motorsports co-owner recently competed in the Xfinity Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway and finished in 30th place. However, Earnhardt was in contention and led 47 laps before a fire erupted in his No. 88 car. The race at Homestead has been planned for a while and the entry will be sponsored by Bass Pro Shops.
Overall, it is great that Earnhardt competes in NASCAR and hopefully, the racing world can see more of it moving forward. It is clear that Earnhardt is having fun on the race track and it goes even further. The NASCAR Hall-of-Fame member is competing for wins. Earnhardt is a bright light for sport and that will be on display again at Homestead.
