Dale Earnhardt Jr. is so dedicated to the idea of NASCAR returning to Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway that he has already devoted the biggest asset the industry has for its hypothetical return.
Himself.
Since retiring from full-time Cup Series competition in 2017, Earnhardt has raced once a year in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for JR Motorsports. Should Speedway Motorsports Inc. and the City of Nashville close out on an agreement to bring NASCAR back, Earnhardt has already said he will enter the first race back.
During a press conference before the ARCA, Super Late Model and Pro Late Model tripleheader over the weekend, he took it a step further and said he would race at the Fairgrounds every year until he completely retires if NASCAR comes back to the Music City.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Restores Busch Series Car Raced by His Dad

For almost two years, Dale Earnhardt Jr. has been working to restore a vintage Chevrolet Nova that his father raced in the Busch Grand National Series back in the 1980s.
He acquired it in April 2019 and took it for its first public drive on the back roads that lead to the JR Motorsports shop last week. The car is being restored in advanced of NASCAR Throwback Weekend on May 7-9 at Darlington Raceway.
Earnhardt plans on leading the pace laps with the car in the moments leading up to the May 8 NASCAR Xfinity Series event. Dale Earnhardt Sr. was a three-time Darlington winner in Busch Grand National Series and twice drove the GM Goodwrench No. 8 to Victory Lane in what eventually became the Xfinity Series.

The safety enhancements have led to zero deaths in NASCAR’s top-three series since Earnhardt’s death. Nine drivers passed away between 1989 and 2001. Since 2001, the sport has not been without its horrific crashes. But every time, the driver has walked out unscathed or at least with minor injuries. Newman, driver of the No. 6 car for Roush Fenway Racing, had one of the worst crashes one will ever witness in last year’s Daytona 500 and walked away with a concussion.
