Throughout this season we all have seen some truly wonderful moments across the NASCAR Cup, Xfinity, and Truck Series. From the video game-like battle between Kyle Larson, Sheldon Creed, and Noah Gragson to Ross Chastain’s once-in-a-lifetime wall-riding move, the season has been filled with ups and downs.
Recently, former driver and Hall of Famer, Dale Earnhardt Jr took to social media to state his views on his favorite race of the season. Junior also asked fans which race had they missed this year, and which they wish they hadn’t missed in the first place.
Junior wrote, “What race did you not see this year that you wish you had. One would be the Charlotte Xfinity win of Josh Berry. The battle between he and Justin sounded amazing. I was working in Indy that day and couldn’t watch. JRM historically had struggled at Charlotte. Proud day for us.“
