Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be back at the track Saturday at Bristol Motor Speedway.
NASCAR's most popular driver will follow in Aaron Rodgers' footsteps as the second celebrity guest picker for ESPN's "College GameDay" on Saturday.
"That’s a home run," show producer Jim Gaiero said, via the Roanoke Times. "The best college football game is never really near the NASCAR community, whether it’s Charlotte or wherever the race is that week. They never seem to coincide. This is the perfect storm. And unfortunately with Junior’s condition, he has the time off. … He’s a huge football fan, too, so he’s fired up about this.
