“He’s Getting Ready to Move JRM to Cup” – NASCAR Fans Float Wild Theories After Dale Earnhardt Jr’s $300 Million Empire Goes Under Major Reshuffle

Is Dale Earnhardt Jr planning on running cars in the Cup Series? Because the recent executive changes announced by his companies have left fans wondering about Earnhardt Jr’s future at NASCAR. JR Motorsports has experienced success in the Xfinity Series over the years. And it wouldn’t come as a shock if the team plans on entering the Cup Series realm.

Recently, Earnhardt Jr shared the new roles that would be assumed by different executives in his group of companies.

And surprisingly, Dale was not on the list. With a net worth of over $300 million, Earnhardt Jr is a NASCAR team owner, NBC NASCAR analyst, and author. However, despite his experience and enthusiasm for the sport, currently, no working role was assigned to him during the reshuffle.

His sister, Kelley Earnhardt Miller is now the CEO of all the companies. Moreover, Mike Davis is Dirty Mo Media’s president, and LW Miler, Joe Mattes, and Tony Mayhoff will be responsible for his other ventures.

NASCAR reporter Bob Pockrass shared the news of these strategic executive changes on Twitter. And since then, fans are left confused over what role will Dale Earnhardt Jr play next. Some Twitter users expressed their concern about Dale’s continued ownership and his association with the ventures, whereas others pitched in their own theories.

Most fan theories hint at Earnhardt Jr entering the Cup Series races. However, no official confirmation regarding JR Motorsports’ plans of venturing into the Cup Series has been made yet.
