Dale Earnhardt, Jr. is retiring at the end of this season. NASCAR is on life support, as it is. This may flatline the organization.

:(

Really don't know if there's someone else to cheer for at this point. None of the newer guys have clicked for me.
 
Not the least bit surprised. He doesn't seem to be enjoying himself this year.

I wouldn't mind seeing Junior retire but be a part of Nascar.
I have no problem finding at least 6 drivers to cheer for. Right now I have 2-21-22
so at least one is at the front.
 
I can't imagine the gimmicks NASCAR will come up with now to try to hang onto the fans they have and attract new ones to replace the ones leaving with Jr
 
I wonder if he will race sporadically for Jr motorsports in Xfinity and maybe some truck races or...if the concussion issues he had/having forcing him to hang it up all they way
 
This actually makes me a bit sad

Greatest day of Alex Bowman's life however. Even though I'm not sold that he's deserving of that seat.
 
Things aren't going well on the track. I'd rather he leave than to sink further. I am sad though that things haven't gone better.
 
Hope he wins the July race at Daytona because A.) he's most synonymous with that track, when I think of Daytona I think Earnhardt. B.)I will be attending
 
While sad, Im not surprised in the least. His concussion last season was massive and I was shocked he returned this year. He's only more prone to further brain injury the longer he raced.

Thanks for the memories and Im glad he is going out on his own terms with a happy new family. His father would be proud. #DaleYeah
 
I don't think its a given that Alex gets the seat!
 
I wish Dale Jr would have retired last year as with his concussion history he could be one blown tire away from a lifetime of hurt. Hopefully he can win a race or 2 and enjoy his life away from the track.

I would think his return this year is the surprise. His retirement is only good sense. The wife over ruled Rick :D
I hope Junior remains part of Nascar. He has some good teams in the Xfinity series and he could drive his own car the odd race to help attract sponsors.

This will undoubtedly be NASCAR's best season for ticket sales in years

You would hope so but not even the fairly good racing of this year is moving the needle in terms of attendance and overall interest.
 
There's a new most popular driver in town folks.

This will be interesting. Nationwide clearly likes Bowman, but HMS has Byron down in Xfin who Axalta likes and they've gotta do something with him too (maybe the 5 eventually?). Byron isn't really ready for cup yet so maybe the decision is easier than thought.

It's a no brainer for 2018 if the sponsor is on board. You can be sure the price will go down.
