As he retires from full-time Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series racing, Dale Earnhardt Jr. has two Daytona 500 victories to credit. But that doesn’t necessarily mean he won’t ever have a third. During a question-and-answer session with reporters after opening practice at Sonoma Raceway, Earnhardt allowed he might consider an encore appearance in NASCAR’s most prestigious race-under the right circumstances. True, next week Earnhardt will compete for the last time at Daytona as the driver of the #88 Hendrick Motorsports Chevy. But that doesn’t mean it’s the last time he’ll compete at Daytona.
Earnhardt also addressed reports that he, too, might be under consideration for a broadcasting role. ‘We are certainly open to discussing the possibility of seeing what options I have, Earnhardt said. ‘Who wanted us, what kind of job they want me for, and we are sort of in the middle of understanding that, and that just goes along the lines of doing due diligence on everything. I’m not retiring from work. I want to keep seeking out opportunities to make a living and make money and be relevant and be a value to my partners.(NASCAR Wire Service)[Read More Here]
