What’s next for Dale Earnhardt Jr?

Now that he has made a name for himself in the sport, it is time for his children to look forward to Christmas and the New Year. Furthermore, the former Daytona 500 winner will eagerly await the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series season. That’s because it will be a chance for his team JR Motorsports to chase another title. The team boasts a fairly strong line-up for the upcoming campaign.

The lineup consists of Sam Mayer, Justin Allgaier, Josh Berry and Brandon Jones. Of the quartet, Jones is the newcomer, having spent the past five years with Joe Gibbs Racing. JGR has come under a lot of fire lately due to the fact that they have let go of a lot of managers lately. This year was no exception, with two-time Cup Series champion Kyle Busch leaving for Richard Childress Racing, and Jones for JR Motorsports.
