To which Dale Jr. declared that he has no plans for it. He said, “I don’t think I want to run any dirt racing”

“I tried to race dirt cars or not dirt cars, I tried to race dirt in a legends car when I was 15,”

He added, “I know that’s probably not a great combination as far as legends cars to be able to really get an idea of what it might be like. But I think that if you’re 47 years old and you’ve never raced dirt that you’re not going to be very good at it for a while.”
