NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. will return for another shot in the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway in September.
Since retiring from full-time NASCAR Cup series competition after the 2017 season, Earnhardt Jr. has run select Xfinity races every year since. He normally picks short tracks, such as Martinsville Speedway, Richmond Raceway, but also Darlington Raceway and Homestead-Miami Speedway. Last year, he ran two races, including one at Bristol Motor Speedway. Driving the No. 88 JR Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro, he led 47 laps and was in contention for the win in the closing laps.
