Dale Jr. Day to be held at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Oct. 18

CONCORD, N.C. (Oct. 12, 2010) -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be giving 10 rides in the No. 88 National Guard/AMP Energy Chevrolet on Monday, Oct. 18 as part of the first Dale Jr. Day. The Dale Jr. Foundation is partnering with NASCAR Racing Experience on this venture, which will allow fans the opportunity to ride along with Earnhardt, take a photo with him or participate in a question-and-answer session with NASCAR’s seven-time most popular driver. Since its founding in 2007, The Dale Jr. Foundation has supported an average of 200 charities each year. A portion of the proceeds from this event will benefit Blessings in a Backpack, Speedway Children’s Charities, Make-A-Wish®, Ronald McDonald House of Charlotte and more. “Having Dale Jr. give rides in the No. 88 National Guard/AMP Energy Chevy from the NASCAR Racing Experience fleet is the closest a NASCAR fan can get to experiencing what it’s like to be Dale Jr.,” said Robert Lutz, president CEO of NASCAR Racing Experience. “And with a portion of the day’s proceeds going to The Dale Jr Foundation, we are proud to host this event which not only gives an experience of a lifetime to fans but also gives to a wonderful foundation.” Packages for Dale Jr Fan Day at NASCAR Racing Experience start at just $288 with several great package options to choose from. Fans can drive a real NASCAR race car, ride in a NASCAR race car driven by a professional instructor or ride with Dale Jr. For more information, click here.
