After part-time rides, a spell competing in mixed martial arts and a return to racing, Jeffrey Earnhardt – grandson of Dale Earnhardt, and nephew of Dale Earnhardt Jr. – makes his Sprint Cup debut tonight at Richmond. Jeffrey Earnhardt will start 42nd in the #32 BeerFrost.com / Corvetteparts.net Ford. “I’m just thankful to have this opportunity,” said Earnhardt. “I’ve got a long, long way to go to learn these cars.” Earnhardt’s goal is simple. He wants to run all the laps and finish in the top 30. If not, he’ll have another chance to reach those goals. He’s scheduled to drive the car again in two weeks at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.(NBC Sports)(9-12-2015)
