In the above episode of the “Dale Jr. Download”, Earnhardt Jr. laid out where he could race this year. He said he expects to race a late model again this season. Here are his full comments.
We’re [The CARS Tour] racing [North] Wilksboro at the end of the year, and I might be available to be able to compete in that race at Wilkesboro. I’m going to run my Late Model a couple times, probably at Florence three times. They’ll have a race before Darlington in the the second half of the year that I’ll probably run. If you’re at Darlington, come out and see us, and then The South Carolina 400 at the end of the year I might run. Probably going to slide a race somewhere in the middle there in the CARS Tour
