Dale Earnhardt Jr., is the son of the legendary Dale Earnhardt and the most popular driver in Nascar. He will leave Dale Earnhardt Inc, the team established by his father, when his contract ends after this season.
Earnhardt Jr says he wants to “compete on a consistent basis and contend for championships now”.
Experts say that if Earnhardt Jr signs up with a team that is in contention to win races every week and is vying for the championship, there could be a significant upswing in ticket sales at the gate, TV ratings, and merchandising sales.
