Dale Earnhardt Jr's name is on just about everything, and in 2009 he can associate it with a speedway.

Gulf Coast Entertainment, L.L.C. announced Tuesday plans to construct a major motorsports and entertainment park called "Alabama Motorsports Park, A Dale Earnhardt Jr. Speedway." in southern Alabama.

The plans call for a lighted, 75,000-seat, 7/10-mile D-shaped oval, a 3/8-mile dirt track, 3.5-mile road course, drag strip and an RV Park.

Joining Earnhardt Jr. in the project will be Kelley Earnhardt Elledge, Kerry Earnhardt and a diverse group of investors from various southern states.

"Our family business is racing and it's been our business for three generations," said Dale Earnhardt Jr. "Kelley, Kerry and I want to continue the family business with hopes that the next generation of Earnhardts will want to be involved in the sport. This new venture with the Alabama Motorsports Park provides yet another avenue in which the Earnhardt family can participate.

"Growing up, the race track was our playground on the weekends," continued Earnhardt Jr., "So all of us look forward to being involved on the ground level of this project and being a part of the design team."

Along with giving input on the speedway with Dale Jr., Kerry Earnhardt has his eyes set on a freshwater lake that investors believe will attract national fishing events.

The investor group has narrowed its site choices to locations across from the University of Mobile and two potential sites in adjacent Baldwin County – one on the Foley Beach Express and the other in central Baldwin County.

Alabama Motorsports Park gates are scheduled to open in 2009. [/LEFT]
 
Lil'e

Speaking of Lil'E did anyone watch the Special on CMT, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Uncut: 60 Minutes special last night? I thought the Guide description was quite funny. "Dale Jr. talks about his life; with Tony Stewart". I'm sure that semi-colon is just a mistake... :D
 
yea, I watched parts of it. Dale said there is no woman in his life yet.....Did not say anything about men........:eek:
 
Give me a break. At his age and the opportunity's he has why settle dpwn? Let the guy live...with whoever the hell he wants when he wants.
 
For whatever reason, it seems that people want to throw the gay idea to drivers they don't like and think it's a joke. Doesn't matter if the guy is married or not as in the case of Jeff Gordon. I've heard it about Tony Stewart and now Jr. is getting it thrown towards him. It isn't just the boys at the top either for it happens to local drivers as well. I guess it's supposed to be the ultimate insult. Joke? Bucky, I wonder if you like it if someone questions your sexuality. Just wondering.
 
I think they oughta have a Dale Sr. speedway first, someone who has actually accomplished something in NASCAR's elite class.

GO ahead... It doesn't bother me....I'm comfortable with my sexuality. I did not come up with the quote "Dale Jr. talks about his life; with Tony Stewart". I'm Just running with it.
 
I just found the Guide description of the program funny. As to who is or who isn't gay I just hope those who are offended by this will remember it before they post about someone being gay.
As to do I think Lil'E is gay, well the only wimmen he's been associated in the press are ex-girlfriends of other drivers or connected to one of his sponsors. And, there only appears to be 1 a year that only lasts a few months. And, I do believe that the media would splash his personal life all over the front pages if they had anything, either straight or gay. That's what they do.
Now as to Tony, while he may not be gay, and I'm not sold completely on that, I do believe he is asexual.
Jeff he is so straight you only wish you had half his action.
If this were about another high profile driver I still would have posted it. The fact is was about Lil'E is what got the drawers in a wad. That could be because deep down you wonder also...
