It was announced in April that NASCAR’s Dale Earnhardt Jr. would be driving a Philadelphia Eagles-themed car at the Pocono 400. As it turns out, though, the NFL is no fun and will not allow Earnhardt to dawn the midnight green during the race.
Hendrick Motorsports announced via Twitter Friday that the NFL has intervened and does not approve of the Eagles-themed car, as it uses the Eagles logo in promotion of something other than the NFL.
Earnhardt was originally going to drive the Eagles-themed car in support of the All-Pro Teachers program.
