Dale Earnhardt Jr. confirms one date on his 2025 race schedule

While we likely won’t see him in NASCAR, Dale Earnhardt Jr. is going to go race in 2025. That No. 8 late model will be seen again. Of course, Earnhardt is going to return to one of his favorite race tracks.

Florence Motor Speedway released its 2025 schedule. On his Instagram Story a few days ago, Dale Earnhardt Jr. reposted that schedule and confirmed that he will be racing at least one date at the track next year.

Dale Jr. will be at the August 29th race at Florence Motor Speedway. On his Instagram Story, according to FloRacing, the driver said, “I’ll see y’all in August.” That race will serve as a precursor to that weekend’s Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway.

If Earnhardt is racing the Budweiser No. 8 – I’m sure the crowd will be packed.

That race will be the Cook Out 225 ZMax CARS Tour race. Very exciting for the CARS Tour fans to see the series co-owner mix it up with the full-timers. To this day, Earnhardt remains one of the biggest pulls in stock car racing.

Dale Jr. raced the South Carolina 400 last month at Florence. He had a great chance to win or get a top-five result and mechanical failures took him out in the second-half of the race.

If I were you, I wouldn’t give up on seeing Dale Earnhardt Jr. race at Florence earlier in the year. It is a track he likes a lot, and there is one event there that he has taken an interest in in the last couple of years.

Potential races for Dale Earnhardt Jr. in 2025

Next summer Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be busy with his Amazon and TNT Sports broadcasting duties. He is back in the booth for that 10-race summer stretch. As far as any potential racing at that time, we can forget about it for those 10 weeks.

However, in the last couple of years, Dale Jr. has raced the Icebreaker at Florence Motor Speedway. The race is between the Clash and the Daytona 500 on February 8th. In 2024, Earnhardt finished 4th in the 125-lap race while his driver Carson Kvapil won.

No word on whether or not we will see Earnhardt at the 2025 edition of the race. But it wouldn’t shock me. Between that event, the CARS Tour races, and the South Carolina 400, it’s a place that Dale Jr. has gotten comfortable racing at.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. has made mention of wanting to race at Cordele Motor Speedway when the CARS Tour goes there. He also expressed interest in racing at Anderson Motor Speedway as well. With that Bud No. 8 back in his hands, I suspect he will put it on the track as much as he can.
