Dale Earnhardt Jr. Adds Homestead to Xfinity Schedule

Dale Earnhardt Jr. has added a second race to his 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series schedule.

Earnhardt tweeted July 6 that he will be competing in the Xfinity race at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Oct. 21, driving his own No. 88 for JR Motorsports, with Bass Pro Shops as the sponsor.

I wonder how much NA$CAR is paying him in an attempt to sell more tickets?

I don’t want to see any thing happen to Dale Jr. But does everyone remember what he said his life was like at the height of his concussion symptoms. The affects were very bad. He stopped racing full time because he was worried about quality of life with his family. So why is he chancing having the affects be permanent by racing two to five times a year? He doesn’t need the money? I say Dale please stop ! We shouldn’t feel sorry if God forbid something happens.
