Dale Earnhardt Jr. stated he does not plan on racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2025, but he remains open to the possibility of racing again in the future. He mentioned on his podcast, the Dale Jr. Download, that he likes the flexibility of being able to decide if he wants to race or not. Currently, there are no races scheduled for him next year. Earnhardt recently finished seventh in the Food City 300 and some speculated it could be his last NASCAR race as he transitions to a broadcasting role with Amazon and TNT Sports in 2025. He will be part of the broadcast team for both companies, providing analysis and commentary. Earnhardt admitted that he may have regrets about not racing once his broadcasting commitments are completed, and he may consider returning to the track in 2026. Despite retiring from full-time racing in 2017, Earnhardt has made sporadic Xfinity Series starts with JR Motorsports, accumulating 24 wins in his 147 starts in the series. If he were to return in 2026, he mentioned Kansas Speedway as a potential location due to its exciting nature and his preference for tracks where drivers can run high against the wall.
