Dale Earnhardt Jr. leaves truck running at airport during Redskins training camp visit

Dale Earnhardt Jr. said Tuesday’s visit to Redskins training camp was a “dream come true,” as the famed NASCAR driver got to spend some time with his favorite football team.

One problem: Earnhardt was so excited to meet up with Kirk Cousins, Josh Norman and others, he left his truck running all day at the airport.

I was so geeked out about going to @Redskins training camp today, I left my truck running all day at the airport. No bs.

Earnhardt, a two-time Daytona 500 winner who will be retiring at the end of the NASCAR season, said he left his Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck on idle at the airport for about eight hours.
