Dale Earnhardt Jr. unveils new Bass Pro Shops paint scheme, adds new date to 2025 schedule

When Dale Earnhardt Jr. gets behind the wheel of a race car, it’s always going to be newsworthy, and the NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee has added a new date to his 2025 schedule.

Earnhardt Jr. will be rocking a slick Bass Pro Shops scheme as he heads to Cordele Motor Speedway in Georgia on April 12. The news was announced on Monday, and Earnhardt Jr. shared a photo of the car he’ll be riding in via social media. Check it out below, in all of its glory.

One thing is for sure, Earnhardt Jr. always has a rocking scheme whenever he gets behind the wheel at this stage in his racing career. That’s certainly the case once again, as he’ll be riding in style with Bass Pro Shops in Cordele come April.

In addition to Cordele Motor Speedway, Florence Motor Speedway released their schedule for 2025, and Earnhardt Jr. confirmed that he will be racing at least one date at the track next year, as well.

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

Perhaps Earnhardt Jr. will be racing the Budweiser No. 8 when Florence rolls around. Regardless, the crowd will be packed and enthusiastic to see him behind the wheel once again.

Moreover, that race will be the Cook Out 225 ZMax CARS Tour race. Earnhardt Jr. raced the South Carolina 400 last month at Florence, where he had a great chance to win or get a top-five result before mechanical failures took him out in the second half of the race.

It’ll be paramount for Earnhardt Jr. to get all the racing in he can when he’s free, as next summer he’ll 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. 

Time will tell what other races Dale Earnhardt Jr. adds to his schedule, but the NASCAR legend is always a draw wherever he goes, there’s no doubt about that.
