Earnhardt Jr has caught the V8 bug after making a surprise visit to the final round of the V8 championship at Phillip Island yesterday as part of a two-week holiday to Australia.
I will drive my butt off in Cup cars (NASCAR) until I’m done and then if somebody wants to hire me I will move to Australia,” Earnhardt Jr, son of seven-time NASCAR champion Dale Earnhardt who was killed in 2001 in the Daytona 500, said. Gordon Lomas, News.com
Earnhardt is the most popular driver in NASCAR racing and earns more money than the entire V8 Supercar field combined.
“In a perfect world, I would come and race in the V8 series for a year and I would enjoy it,” he said. Stephen Ottley, News.com
