Following the qualifier for the Ag-Pro 300 at Talladega and stealing the pole position left Jeffrey overwhelmed with joy and said that he always wanted to be here and it happened because he worked hard and feels that he completely deserves the opportunity.

“I’ve always wanted to try and feel like that I’m here because I worked hard enough to be here and I deserve the opportunity,” said Jeffrey Earnhardt.

He also added saying that with the last name it’s definitely easier to get sponsorships and that helps him a lot he has always dreamt of racing with the No.3 Chevy Camaro and is extremely happy with the opportunities he got during his career.

“Don’t get me wrong, the last name definitely helps to sell sponsorship. It’s been non-stop. Our goal has to be to compete at RCR in the No.3 car because it’s a dream of mine. I’ve been blessed with many opportunities throughout the years that I’ve been racing,” added Jeffrey Earnhardt.

He concluded by saying that he’ll be always thankful and that he is at a shortage of words to describe his emotions and hopes to contend in the same manner during the Ag-Pro 300 given that team RCR brings really fast cars.

“I’ll forever be thankful for every one of them because they don’t come easy, it’s incredible. Really has me speechless. Obviously, Richard brings fast cars, we were able to put it together today. Hopefully, we can do the same (Saturday),” concluded Jeffrey Earnhardt.
