Dale Earnhardt Jr Backs Carl Edwards to Make Sensational Return Amidst Not Picking Him in His NASCAR Hall of Fame List

NASCAR recently unveiled the 15 names, three of which will be inducted into the Hall of Fame next year. Voting for the Class of 2023 will take place on May 4. However, Dale Earnhardt Jr has already unveiled his picks.

The former driver who was inducted into the HoF this year tweeted his picks –  “Kenseth, Shelmerdine, Ard.”

This led to a fan letting the JR Motorsports owner know that he wasn’t doing Carl Edwards right. “You’re doing Carl wrong, Dale Jr.,” the tweet read. In his response to this comment, Dale Jr. revealed why he didn’t pick Edwards.

And the reason he didn’t could really excite all NASCAR fans, particularly those of Carl Edwards.

“I’m my vision of the future, Carl is gonna make a successful comeback,” Dale Jr. replied.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. looking forward to his yearly NASCAR start at Martinsville

This weekend in Martinsville, Dale Earnhardt Jr will be making his yearly racing appearance in the Xfinity Series race. Martinsville Speedway’s President, Clay Cambel, said it’s “really incredible” that the Hall of Famer has chosen Martinsville as the one venue for his yearly race.

Speaking about how he’s feeling ahead of the race, Earnhardt Jr. admits he has “a lot of pressure,” but he’s expecting to have “a lot of fun.”

“It’s a tough series, a lot of great drivers in that series. I learned some hard lessons at Richmond. They kicked my butt. I’ve got to step my game up when I got to Martinsville, and I’m going to have a lot of fun.”

The two-time Daytona 500 winner emphasized that irrespective of who he is racing on the track, be it in the top five or way down the road in the 15th-20th places, he will have a good time.

“I only get to do it once a year, so I really soak it up and enjoy it,” he added.
