Starting lineup for Southern 500 2016
Keep on driving Dale Jr, but if your health does not allow for you to do that start your own team a person with your knowledge of the sport and with not only the backing I know you will have, but every race fan I know would also love to see Jr Motor Sports have one to two or even more cars in Sprint Cup, and something else tells me that time will repeat its self as you will become one of the great car owners as you are a great driver, the name alone “Earnhardt Jr Motor Sports” will draw the fans as it has for years and years, I will buy the hats, shirts and what ever else you put on the market, if you ever decide to leave Nascar all together it would have the same affect as if no Petty was at the race for the race fans, please “driver” or “owner” stay with it . One Die Hard Fan….. S.W.M.
