Dale Earnhardt Jr. may attempt his last NASCAR Xfinity Series race in 2024

Dale Earnhardt Jr. will run the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway on September 20, looking for redemption after last year. In 2023, Earnhardt led 47 laps at Bristol but was forced to retire after a fire on his No. 88 car. The NASCAR Hall-of-Famer has competed in the Xfinity Series at least once per season since retiring from full-time racing, but could 2024 be his last year?

According to JR Motorsports co-owner Kelley Earnhardt Miller on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio , she didn’t want to say that Earnhardt is done racing in the Xfinity Series; however, the team doesn’t have anything on the map for him right now. Earnhardt’s start at Bristol is his only scheduled appearance in 2024, which could end up being his last in the Xfinity Series.

Earnhardt Miller said on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio that plans can change, so it’s far from definite that it will be his final Xfinity Series event. Yet, with JR Motorsports not having anything on the map, Earnhardt could be running the No. 88 Xfinity car for the final time. Hopefully, Earnhardt can return for another Xfinity Series event if he desires to move forward with racing.
