The NASCAR community has been missing the iconic Earnhardt family name from the Cup grid since Dale Earnhardt Jr. retired from the sport in 2016. Since then, many expected a return from the family as team owners to the sport, by either promoting their Xfinity team JR Motorsports or buying into another team.
Though Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his big sister Kelly Earnhardt has flirted with the possibility of entering the sport, they have stayed on the fringes because of financial concerns. They want to buy a charter, if it has a long-term asset value. Recently Junior talked about all the development in the sport and will it inspire them to enter the top series.
He pointed out that the Earnhardt’s are still hanging out regarding the entry and claimed that even if he didn’t do it, it won’t be a massive regret. Junior explained that he and his sister always wants to enter the sport as it is a big part of their life. They are waiting for the right opportunity to make the investment.
Yeah, we’re just kind of like hanging out. If it doesn’t happen I don’t know that it will be a massive regret of mine, but we race. Me and Kelley talk about it all the time: We race. We were born into this, this is who we are, we’re always going to be this. And so, if we end up presented with an opportunity that feels really good, we would certainly be interested in doing it.
