Dale Jr is one of those drivers who doesn’t have to do much to stay relevant in NASCAR nation. Fans simply adore the 49-year-old for his humbleness and the passion he has for the sport. His recent involvement in bringing back the fan-favorite North Wilkesboro track got him critical acclaim from the NASCAR community, proving that he is more than just a commentator but more of an ambassador for the sport.

His CARS Tours series is another example of the veteran’s commitment to the sport, bringing the precedence back on the old god short format of racing.

In fact, it is Junior’s pet projects and ambitions that make him a lovable personality in NASCAR, garnering respect from the fans. However, there’s a slight problem. As age catches up to the veteran, forgetfulness has now become a task with the 49-year-old making it clear in his “X” handle.

Dale Jr dropped a tweet, that read, “When I’m away working on the weekends I can think of a dozen projects and things I want to accomplish back home. When I’m home I can’t remember any of them.
