-Will Dale Jr. ever race in the Indianapolis 500? I've read that's something he would like to do.Imagine that?

May be...

  • As long as he is in NASCAR, he won't be able to. The Coca-cola 600 is on the same weekend, and that is one of the races that drivers never want to miss. Back in the day, it was possible to run both races, and it has been done by Andretti, Robby Gordon, and Stewart. But now the race starts earlier, and drivers can't fit both races into the day. Plus, all the IRL cars run Honda engines now, and Jr has a contract with Chevy.



    Maybe when he retires from NASCAR.
  • well im sure he can do whatever he wants. so if he wants to he will
  • Never read that one, but he is very interested in the V8 Supercar series in Austrailia. badgley, the fire in question was not in the 24 Hrs at Daytona, but an ALS race in Sonoma. And yes Jr went to Austrailia to see the Bathurst 1000 in the V8 Supercar series. And it's not like Jr doesn't want to race in another series on the side, he hasn't been allowed to since the Sonoma wreck.
  • no way.
  • I would have given him better chances if he had switched to Penske or Ganassi instead of Hendrick. He could still hook up with a good team in the IndyCar Series to run an Indy 500 "one off". My choice would be Panther Racing or possibly an extra car on Andretti Green Racing with Danica and Marco as teammates.
  • They all want to race either Indy or in Gordon's case F-1 but in reality they know where their bread is buttered.
  • No.
  • I doubt he would do it because ever since the fire in the Daytona 24 hour race, he doesn't really race at all outside of NASCAR. He is a race car driver and he went on vacation to go watch a race. What does that tell ya.
