NASCAR Fans Float Wild Theory of Dale Earnhardt Jr Taking Over Petty GMS Motorsports After Cryptic Tweet

It seems Dale Earnhardt Jr has the superpower of exploding the NASCAR Twittersphere. Earlier this month, his tweet surrounding Kyle Busch and his deal with Richard Childress Racing made it to the news. And now, just an image shared by him prompted the NASCAR fans to float a new theory.

And soon after Jones’ announcement, Dale Earnhardt Jr, the co-owner of JR Motorsports shared a tweet. The Twitter post was an image of Petty Motorsports #43 car without any other context to it.

However, as soon as the image was posted, NASCAR fans began teasing Dale Earnhardt Jr with their new theory of JRM taking over Petty Motorsports. Fans expressed their thoughts about how Earnhardt Jr’s JRM would be unbeatable after the takeover.

Apart from the theories, a NASCAR fan couldn’t stop himself from asking Earnhardt Jr about his time at Petty Motorsports. And to this, Earnhardt Jr posted a savage reply.

Even with his no-context tweet, Dale Earnhardt Jr managed to win Twitter. Fans could not get enough of their favorite NASCAR driver and team owner’s humor.
