#88-Dale Earnhardt Jr. is in the process of opening a nightclub in Charlotte [NC]. “It’s coming along,” Earnhardt said. “It’s really early in the building stages. I went over there for the first time to see it this week. It looks terrible right now. Hopefully once they paint it and do all the tricks that they’ll do to make it look cool and then make it half lit it’ll look cool. Hopefully I’ll at least break even. That’s all I’m hoping to do. They are never moneymakers. I just want to have some fun with it.” The bar will be named Whiskey River. Earnhardt said he’d been planning the place for about three years. But at the time he couldn’t use the name Whiskey River because his affiliation with Budweiser as his primary sponsorship at Dale Earnhardt Inc. “I thought that would be fun to name a club that and was surprised there aren’t many clubs named that,” Earnhardt said.(Tennessean)(1-14-2008) Comment
