Earnhardt Jr to retire at end of NASCAR season
Print Edition
DALE Earnhardt Jr plans to retire from the NASCAR Monster Cup series at the end of the 2017 season.
The 14-time Most Popular Driver has 603 starts — 26 victories — over a career that began at age 24 in 1999. Among his accomplishments are two Daytona 500 crowns (2004, 2014) and two championships (1998, 1999) in what has become the NASCAR XFINITY Series. Earnhardt Jr, 42, is not having the season he planned after missing 18 races recovering from concussions in 2016. So far in 2017, Earnhardt has led only eight laps and his best finish was fifth in Texas (April 9). He’s currently 24th in the NASCAR standings. Following Jeff Gordon’s retirement at the end of last season, Hendrick Motorsports will continue to be reshaped. Chase Elliott and Jimmie Johnson are carrying the four-car team in 2017.
