First of all, Dale Earnhardt Jr. will run a No. 3 Bass Pro Shops Late Model at Florence Motor Speedway later this month. The gold paint scheme is a throwback to what the late great Dale Earnhardt Sr. (his father) drove in the 1998 All-Star Race. Earnhardt will be making his second Late Model start of the year, having also ran a CARS Tour event at the recently revived North Wilksboro Speedway, finishing third.
The company will also sponsor Dale Jr. in two Xfinity races next year. The precise events will be determined at a later date. In recent years, Earnhardt has made one-off appearances at Richmond, Darlington, Homestead, and Bristol.
