While age takes its toll but at times, the zeal to race supersedes it. One of the best examples is the comeback of Jimmie Johnson to the Cup Series circuit this season. While that was massive news, fans would also love the news Dale Earnhardt Jr has brought.

Without a doubt, Dale Jr had an illustrious career in the Cup Series. Despite retiring in 2017, the former Hendrick Motorsports driver has wisely invested his time in multiple productive activities. However, he recently shared a comeback announcement which is surprising and at the same time, very exciting.

Post-retirement, Dale Earnhardt Jr has occupied himself with several business ventures. Of course, one of his most well-known business ventures is Dirty Mo Media, the digital platform which broadcasts a number of popular podcasts. Another successful venture is the premium vodka brand, High Rock, which he and his wife, Amy Earnhardt, own.

However, not many know that Junior also owns a company named “Filter Time,” which is an air-filter subscription service. He co-owns the company along with former NASCAR driver, Blake Koch. Although Filter Time is the brainchild of Koch, Dale Jr’s popularity has taken the company to great heights.

Time and again, the company is seen sponsoring race cars and one such event took place recently. It turns out that the company will sponsor R & S Race Cars for the Cars Tour race at Tri-County Motor Speedway. Now here’s the catch. Guess who will be the man behind the wheel for this race?

It’s none other than Kenny Wallace.

Despite retiring from NASCAR in 2015, Wallace competes in local dirt track races as a hobby, not as a profession. However, this news changes the dynamics of how one looks at the Cars Tour.
