Dirt Racing is one hell of a challenge. Tackling other cars and maintaining pace in little to no grip situations requires a lot of practice. However, no one can deny that Dirt Racing can be extremely fun.

But would Dale Earnhardt Jr. want to join the likes of Kyle Larson, and take on that challenge? Well, in a recent episode of the Dale Jr. Download, he talks about his plans for dirt racing at North Wilkesboro Speedway.

Junior‘s co-host gave him the question that came from a fan which said, “Have you ever thought about running a dirt race? But more specifically – the ones coming up at North Wilkesboro?”

To which Dale Jr. declared that he has no plans for it. He said, “I don’t think I want to run any dirt racing”

“I tried to race dirt cars or not dirt cars, I tried to race dirt in a legends car when I was 15,”

He added, “I know that’s probably not a great combination as far as legends cars to be able to really get an idea of what it might be like. But I think that if you’re 47 years old and you’ve never raced dirt that you’re not going to be very good at it for a while.”
