What if you were a billionaire and people asked what you would do with your money? Most of us would probably say he buys some fancy cars, owns private jets, buys yachts, or travels all over the world. However, it is different with Dale Earnhardt Jr. as Dale reveals his wish if he was one day a billionaire.
It was the second time Bristol Racecourse has hosted NASCAR’s second dirt race in 52 years. Racing has had both its pros and cons since it started racing from 2021. Admittedly, Earnhardt Jr. is not a huge fan of dirt racing and would have liked to own it and change the grass.

NASCAR Dirt Race and Fans Approval for Dale Earnhardt Jr
Needless to say, NASCAR is a very popular sport in the USA. Let’s say, the most popular form of motorsports in the country. However, there was a time when fans criticized NASCAR for being a boring sport due to the same types of asphalt track all season.
Over time, NASCAR has offered different types of racetracks throughout the year. It is believed that the board of directors did this to increase excitement in the younger generation of fans. As mentioned, NASCAR introduced a dirt track race last year. The Food City Dirt Race at Bristol Motor Speedway was the first-ever dirt race in the sport’s 51-year history.
However, dirt racing wasn’t everyone’s favorite, including NBC NASCAR analyst Dale. As for fans, some have expressed that the previous type of track at Bristol Motor Speedway was better. As the 47-year-old shared his view on the racetrack, NASCAR fans reacted very positively to Dell’s wishes.
Here are some fan reactions:
You are funny! I love your persistence! 😂 Who knows, maybe one day!

And never put dirt on it again!!

Agreed. Do the dirty thing elsewhere. Charlotte, Eldora, Knoxville Iowa, or maybe Volusia in the week before Daytona. It would be a good idea for a clash.

Thanks dell. On the way by phone this week I met the girl whose dad was Dale’s paternal cousin, and she said Dale is her godfather. Thanks for setting the course.
