Watching your favorite driver retire from the sport is never easy, but NASCAR drivers make it easier for fans. The post Dale Earnhardt Jr Teases His Fans Since Shutting Down All Hope as He Bid Farewell to Bristol appeared first on EssentiallySports.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. reflects on what may have been his final lap in the NASCAR Xfinity Series under the lights at Bristol Motor Speedway, Tennessee. Despite facing numerous communication issues, Earnhardt Jr. finished the race in a respectable seventh-place finish.

“I’m not planning on racing next year,” Earnhardt said of the Xfinity Series. “I’ll be foolish to say I’m never going to run again because I don’t know well enough to stay away from it, and I’ll probably miss it next year and be absolutely willing to sign up for anything that might be beneficial to JR Motorsports.”
