Dale Earnhardt Jr. is among the 2021 NASCAR Hall of Fame inductees who will be added to racing history on Friday evening.
Alongside Earnhardt, modified racer Mike Stefanik and Alabama short-track legend Red Farmer will also be enshrined. Stefanik has won nine championships while Farmer’s win count is frankly unknown. As he approaches 90 years old, he’s still racing.
Earnhardt joins his father, who died in a final lap collision in 2001, in the Hall of Fame, becoming the seventh father-son duo to accomplish this honor. The others include Lee and Richard Petty, Lee and Maurice Petty, Buck and Buddy Baker, Bobby and Davey Allison, Ned and Dale Jarrett, and founding family members Bill France Sr.
