In an exclusive interview with the Charlotte Observer, Dale Earnhardt Jr. laid everything on the table.
NASCAR's former Most Popular Driver, who retired from the sport in November 2017, is at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend for the track's inaugural Roval race. But instead of competing, like he did last weekend in a one-off Xfinity Series race, Earnhardt will be in the NBC broadcast booth, his new home on race weekends.
In his interview with the Observer, Earnhardt talked about that Richmond race, as well as a number of other topics ranging from his hopes for his broadcast career, adjusting to home life with wife Amy and daughter Isla Rose, and whether retiring when he did was the right decision.
