For most the sleepy small town of Florence means little, but Dale Earnhardt Jr isn’t most people. Florence is a very special town for him. ”I raced at Florence every Friday night, probably 14 times a year,” he said on his Dale Jr Download podcast.

Florence is back in the news as it has been announced that Dale Jr is going to run the South Carolina 400 here this weekend. He said “I was part of that experience back in the 90s when we ran the 400 at the end of those years. I had so many amazing experiences there back in the 90s. I want this race track to survive. Hopefully this is a great way for them to end the season.” 

In the 90s, the race was known as Myrtle Beach 400; it was renamed after being shifted to Florence a few years ago. He explained on the SiriusXM Speedway podcast, “It’s a pretty important race if you know the history of the 400 they used to run at Myrtle Beach, and when Myrtle Beach went away they brought it over to Florence. I’ve been wanting to go back to that race track and actually race… It’s a really cool track.”
