It’s time for some Christmas merry-making and the official 2024 Naughty/Nice list has been released. The holiday season has officially started and one cannot help but look forward to some light-hearted banter. The Naughty or Nice list is an official release from the house of NASCAR and it seems as though Dale Earnhardt Jr does not side with it this time. 

Not that a lot depends on this list, but every year most of the NASCAR fans look forward to this release by the team. After all, wouldn’t you want to know if your favorite driver made it to the nice or the naughty list? 

Dale Earnhardt Jr says that he wants to opt out of the naughty list

The last mention in the Naughty or Nice list has got none other than the legendary Dale Earnhardt Jr and the reason can make you baffled. Remember the time when Justin Allgaier, the Xfinity Series popular name, made it to the victory line? Proud Dale Earnhardt Jr could not help but keep the flags in his clasps and the autonomy was so visible that he did not pass it around to anybody. The way he was territorial with the flag made him count as a worthy participant on the “naughty” list. 

However, it seems as though Dale Earnhardt Jr. is not at all siding with this opinion. According to him, he has certainly handed over the flag to others while he was enjoying a beer or two. After the list was released, he took to his official X account and posted, “I remember holding multiple beers at one point, proof the flag was enjoyed by others 😂😂”. He further backed the claim by saying, “I shared the flag! Unbelievable. 😕😂”. 

Dale Earnhardt Jr has been quite supportive of Justin Allgaier and given that he is now an integral part of the team, Earnhardt Jr has been present at most of the drives. Time and again, Allgaier has also shown how much he was moved by the team owner’s gesture. He said, “As a racer, you enjoy those moments, you have that success and you act accordingly. But when it’s somebody else, even if it’s your race team, when it’s somebody else, you don’t typically see a car owner have the passion and the excitement that Dale has shown over this process”. 

Dale Earnhardt Jr’s playful defense highlights his good-natured humor and his willingness to set the record straight. While his “naughty list” mention might spark some laughs, his response proves he’s all about sharing the joy—even if it involves a flag and a beer or two.

Dale Earnhardt Jr has been extremely expressive about how he has been very confident about Justin Allgaier making it to the victory line. After the Phoenix Finals, Dale Jr was quite expressive about how dedicated the driver has been and the commitment he has showcased. The 38-year-old Allgaier had been a great driver throughout and he has always been someone who has gone out of his way to achieve goals. 

Speaking of the contribution that Allgaier has made to the team, the JR Motorsports owner said, “He’s just done so much for us… He’s been incredible for our partners. Anyone who’s worked with him on the partner side loves him… We’ve had a lot of fun over the years, but I badly, badly wanted him to get this championship because he’s a champion, he deserves it”. 

While Allgaier was last seen in the NASCAR Cup Series during the year 2014 and 2015  with HScott Motorsports and he finished off in the P29 and P30 standings. However, after his impeccable run with JR Motorsports in the last season, he is all set to remain with the team for 2026 as well.
