Dale Earnhardt Jr. calls for stricter enforcement of rules in NASCAR following a physical attack on driver Matt Tifft.

For the first time in nearly a year, one of the most popular drivers in the history of motorsports was back in the driver’s seat for a NASCAR Xfinity Series race on Friday night at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. reflects on what may have been his final lap in the NASCAR Xfinity Series under the lights at Bristol Motor Speedway, Tennessee. Despite facing numerous communication issues, Earnhardt Jr. finished the race in a respectable seventh-place finish.

“I’m not planning on racing next year,” Earnhardt said of the Xfinity Series. “I’ll be foolish to say I’m never going to run again because I don’t know well enough to stay away from it, and I’ll probably miss it next year and be absolutely willing to sign up for anything that might be beneficial to JR Motorsports.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr. and many NASCAR fans had circled Friday since it was announced that the Xfinity Series Bristol night event would be Junior's lone NASCAR race in 2024. The 49-year-old had a solid run, finishing seventh, but that result doesn't come close to telling the entire story of the Hall of Famer's night.
