#88-Dale Earnhardt Jr. will once again head to the TaxSlayer Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla. to participate in the coin toss to begin Saturday’s [Jan 2nd] game between the Georgia Bull Dogs and Penn State Nittany Lions. TaxSlayer.com is beginning its seventh year as a sponsor at JR Motorsports and will extend that relationship to the Sprint Cup Series with Hendrick Motorsports in 2016. ‘I enjoy working with TaxSlayer and I think it’s neat where we cross promote and sort of mix the two together where their involvement with the Bowl brings me to the Bowl,’ Earnhardt Jr. said. ‘I get to enjoy that experience. I had never been to any college games in my life until I started going to the TaxSlayer Bowl, even being a fan of the sport. It’s fun for me and we are typically in the neighborhood that time of year being on vacation.’(MRN)(1-2-2016)
