Dale Earnhardt Jr. to run NASCAR Xfinity race at Bristol again
Since retiring from full-time NASCAR Cup series competition after the 2017 season, Dale Earnhardt Jr. has been participating in select Xfinity races every year. He typically chooses short tracks like Martinsville Speedway and Richmond Raceway, but has also raced at tracks like Darlington Raceway and Homestead-Miami Speedway. Last year, he competed in two races, one of which was at Bristol Motor Speedway. A wire short caused a fire in the cockput, forcing him to end the race prematurely and finish 30th. Despite the incident, Earnhardt Jr. will be racing at Bristol on September 20th, sponsored by Hellmann’s. He plans to continue running these one-off races as long as he can, aiming for his 25th career win in his upcoming 147th Xfinity Series start.
