Dale Earnhardt Jr Gearing Up for His First Race of 2024 at the Florence Icebreaker

Dale Earnhardt Jr is returning to the IceBreaker! As a part of JR Motorsports’ Late Model Stock car plans, Junior will race at the Florence Motor Speedway. The IceBreaker is one of the most essential off-season races for many drivers who prefer to race in the Late Model Stock car division. Before heading to the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series, the race in Florence allows drivers to gain some practice and points, getting their edge back in time for the national and regional competitions. Owing to the same, Dale Earnhardt Jr has also regularly competed at the race track and now fans will see him return ince again this year!

The event can be watched live on FloRacing, which has been instrumental in promoting grassroots racing through its streaming services.

In recent years, Dale Earnhardt Jr. has been a frequent visitor to the Florence Motor Speedway. His liking for the race track grew with his visits, starting with the South Carolina 400. In 2023, Junior raced in three events in Florence, finishing 16th in the IceBreaker. With a much-anticipated return this year, he hopes to improve that result.

While the Florence stint will be a major highlight in Dale Earnhardt Jr’s calendar, his other venture, the CARS Tour, is also set to kick off with a new season.
