Dale Jr. to run the Daytona 24 hour race in 2004

[Happy29]

Dale Earnhardt Jr. will run in next year’s Daytona 24 hour with the Freisinger Porsche team. Earnhardt Jr., who made his debut in the sportscar classic in a factory Chevrolet Corvette in 2001, has agreed to a deal to race the German team’s lead 911 GT3-RS in the Florida event next February. Freisinger team leader Stephane Ortelli will join him in the car. Team boss Manfred Freisinger said, “We have a mutual friend who contacted us about Dale. Everything has been agreed and the deal will be signed this week.”

Pretty cool, I think that would be a fun race.

Sure hope Speed Channel has the great coverage they've had in the past.

Sure hope Junior gets to drive a little earlier --- LOL.
I missed most of his stint in 2001 --- it was passed my bedtime.

UPDATE: Been told by DEI folks that is zero accuracy to the Autoweek report regarding Dale Jr. in a Porsche at the 24-Hours of Daytona.(9-16-2003)
