Dale Earnhardt Jr. is set to showcase his love for the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway by participating in its CARS Late Model Stock Tour event debut on April 11. This confirmation came during the latest episode of the Dale Jr Download podcast where Earnhardt expressed his excitement for the upcoming event. Co-owned by NASCAR figures like Kevin Harvick, Justin Marks, and Jeff Burton, the CARS Tour is recognized as a prestigious regional short track racing series. The event, now known as the Tootsie’s Music City Showdown, will also feature a CARS Pro Late Model Tour race with Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge owner Steve Smith as the title sponsor, thanks to Marks’ influence. Despite hosting NASCAR Cup Series races until 1984, the future of Fairgrounds Speedway remains uncertain, with discussions ongoing regarding potential revitalization or demolition. This event signifies a milestone for both the Speedway and Earnhardt’s racing career.
