?A Night of Fun and Bonding Between Dale Earnhardt Jr and Will Compton
Compton and Earnhardt Jr. discussed the road map of their long-awaited meetup, including the possibility of hiring a babysitter and venturing out for a night on the town. The excitement was palpable as they planned to get ready to hit the streets to get ready to have a memorable time together.
“So this has been a decade in the making me and him had probably text back and forth around 100 times that we’re gonna get a beer together so y’all are watching us have our first beer,” said Earnhardt while enjoying his beer.
As the night unfolded, Earnhardt playfully questioned Compton’s drinking prowess, asking if he was still in “game shape.” Compton confidently assured his friend that he still worked out regularly and even mentioned their upcoming beer Olympics, where they would have a blast throwing back some cold ones.
The stage was set for a night of camaraderie, laughter, and friendly competition. When Compton asked if Dale had a Gas Tank on him, he replied with “good to go” without a doubt.
Since Dale retired from the sport a while back, us fans can often see him as a veteran who sits in the studio and gives his analysis of drivers. However, stories like these, where Dale Jr admitted that he is good to go with his ‘Gas Tank’ tell us that he still has that fire in him that he had during his racing days. And what can further prove this point if not his 2023 racing plans?
