Two photos of Dale Jr. can be spotted from his racing days, including his number 8 car. An image of Petty's belt bearing his racing number 43 has also been featured. One detail that can't be missed from the photo is NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s quote. It reads: "You win some, lose some, and wreck some." Further details of the song will likely be available after its release on Friday. Music video will be out with the song this Friday. Can't wait for y'all to see it — Luke Combs 🎤 (@lukecombs) July 21, 2025 Dale Jr. has been making full use of media to ensure his father's stories go out to NASCAR fans. As well as his popular Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s Dirty Mo Media, the former driver has launched a podcast series titled 'Becoming Earnhardt 1980,' which is based on stories about Dale Sr., obtained from scrapbooks that Dale Jr.'s aunt preserved. Singer Luke Combs poses for a photo in the pace car prior to the NASCAR Cup Series Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway on June 30, 2024 in Lebanon, Tennessee. Singer Luke Combs poses for a photo in the pace car prior to the NASCAR Cup Series Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway on June 30, 2024 in Lebanon, series focuses on NASCAR's 1980 Cup Series season, showcasing lesser-known details of the events that unfolded, eventually leading to Dale Sr.'s championship victory. Speaking about the new series, Dale Jr. said: "It's just a show that I started. I got these two scrapbooks from my aunt when my grandmother passed away. We went to her house, we were kind of looking through some of the things - photos and all kinds of stuff - and there were these two scrapbooks that my aunt made. "They are literally, one is from the '79 year and one's from the '80 Cup season. She cut out every article and everything. So right there in front of me, man, is basically this kind of book of, like, 'here's what happened to Dad.' "I just never really dove into that real deeply to get details about that particular couple of years when he drove for Rod Osterlund and landed his first full-time ride in NASCAR. "So we decided to make a series, Becoming Earnhardt, to detail what's in those scrapbooks and the things that we learned. It's pretty interesting." Addressing a controversy that will be highlighted in the podcast series, Dale Jr. said: "1980 is what this particular season of Becoming Earnhardt will be focusing on, and there is a high-profile split with crew chief Jake Elder. How Jake handles that in the media is wild—Jake goes off the rails, Jake comes back on the rails—it's just wild. "And Dad and Cale get nippy in the media late in the year. Cale actually is real critical of Dad on the racetrack. Just watching that whole thing—kind of reliving it, putting yourself in the moment of going back through that particular year—I think it's really fun for me. "I'm a nostalgia freak. I love the history of the sport. So it is a great time for me, a good excuse for me to dive more into learning about that particular part of Dad's life. I lived a lot of the late '80s and the '90s. I wasn't even in Dad's life in 1980. I was not living with him yet."

Chase Briscoe's year of improvement continued Saturday as he captured the pole for Sunday's Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway. Generally speaking, the faster qualifiers at Nashville have finished well on race day. Advertisement Nashville Superspeedway has been on NASCAR's Cup Series schedule since 2021. In the four previous races there, the pole sitter has gone on to win the race once (Ross Chastain in 2023), and in two other years, the pole winner finished fourth (not bad) while the race winner started fifth and sixth (also not bad). Then came last year, when Joey Logano won the race after starting 26th. The pole winner, Denny Hamlin, finished outside the top 10, in 12th.
