Where the hell is JR???

 

[snopro]

I think he broke or wrecked. Haven't got to that episode of the race yet. Lol.

 

[snopro]

Broke then wrecked on lap 230. Fluid leaking on the rh front on a restart and she wouldn't turn.

 

[arff]

3 cars had power steering problems

Breaking news and bad as well for Jr fans. Dale Jr to announce that this will be his last season in Monster Energy Cup Series as he will be retiring after the conclusion of this season. Citing reoccurring issues with concussions as the reason. He will be missed and NASCAR will lose an icon in the sport. Sad day..

Dale Earnhardt Jr. will retire following the 2017 NASCAR season, Hendrick Motorsports announced Tuesday in a press release.


The 14-time Most Popular Driver has won 26 times in 603 starts over a career that began at age 24 in 1999. Among his accomplishments are two Daytona 500 crowns (2004, 2014) and two championships (1998, 1999) in what is now called the NASCAR XFINITY Series.


Earnhardt, 42, returned to competition in the No. 88 Chevrolet this year after a concussion sidelined him from NASCAR's top series for half of the 2016 season. Through his rehabilitation process, Earnhardt has become a vocal advocate for research of sports-related brain injuries.


Earnhardt's best finish in eight starts this season was fifth place at Texas Motor Speedway on April 9. He currently is ranked 24th in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series standings.


Earnhardt and team owner Rick Hendrick will address the media at 3 p.m. ET. Video from the news conference will be streamed live on NASCAR.com.
