TALLADEGA, Ala. – Throughout his 18-year career, Talladega Superspeedway has been without a doubt Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s strongest track.
Earnhardt, who will retire from full-time competition at the conclusion of the 2017 Monster Energy Series season, will be vying for his seventh career victory at Talladega in Sunday’s GEICO 500 (2 p.m. ET, FOX), which will serve as his final spring race at the 2.66-mile track.
His father, Dale Earnhardt, earned a record 10 wins at Talladega, including his final Cup victory – the Winston 500 in October 2000.
On Friday, Earnhardt spent some time reminiscing about both his successes and shortcomings at Talladega through the years.
