MOORESVILLE, N.C. (Aug. 31, 2018) – In three weeks, Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be back in competition at Richmond (Va.) Raceway. What better way to stretch his racing legs and get back in the groove than cut a few laps at one of his favorite tracks?
Josh Berry, the normal driver of JRM’s No. 88 Chevrolet in the Late Model ranks, was on hand, as were team manager Bryan Shaffer, JRM’s Director of Motorsports L.W. Miller and crew member Steven Civitarese for the session.
Judging by this video, there should be no worries about accumulated rust after nine months out of the seat for Earnhardt Jr. Some things, you never forget how to do. Earnhardt Jr. will race the No. 88 Hellmann’s Chevrolet Camaro for JRM in the Sept. 21 event at Richmond, site of his last NASCAR Xfinity Series victory in the spring of 2016.
