“We’re working with NBC in the booth, so I can’t go on the weekends, There’s Wednesday features that I’m going to try and go to,” said Dale Earnhardt Jr.

He further added saying that he’s been racing in this category for a long time but now that he has the time and ability to practice and to get a feel of the track.

“Everybody knows that we’ve raced in the late model stock series for a long time but I’m kind of looking for the opportunity and this seems like the perfect chance, right. I can go practice. There’s practice, qualifying in the race over a three-day period. Get a little bit of track time,” added Dale Earnhardt Jr.

He concluded by teasing his fans on Twitter saying how cool would it be if Sun Drop allowed him to compete in this event with their emblem on the car as he did it back in 1993.

“It’d be cool and I teased this on Twitter if we got the Sun Drop car, I raced the Sun Drop at North Wilkesboro in 1993. It’d be cool if Sun Drop would OK us putting their logos on the car for this event,” concluded Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Will Sun Drop partner with Dale Earnhardt Jr. and make his wish come true?
