| Kahne will race at Talladega |
Earnhardt Jr. was previously
scheduled to race in the May 4th race at Talladega Superspeedway as part of his
four-race Nationwide Series slate in 2013. Now, he will compete in the Sept.
14th race at Chicagoland Speedway instead of Talladega. Kahne will now compete
at Talladega as part of his 11-race line-up in 2013. Both drivers will compete
in Great Clips-sponsored Chevrolets – Earnhardt in the No. 88 Camaro and Kahne
in the No. 5.
Earnhardt Miller made the
announcement today on The Dale Jr. Download, a weekly podcast on Dirty
Mo Radio. The podcast is available at DaleJr.com and on most podcasting networks
such as iTunes.
“Kasey and I were chatting
about our Nationwide Series schedules, and I was looking for more track time at
a place like Chicago,” said Earnhardt Jr. “Kasey mentioned how he would love a
shot at winning at Talladega. Fortunately we have a partner like Great Clips
that was willing to work with us. One of our 2013 goals at JR Motorsports is to
be a better asset to Hendrick Motorsports. For me personally, this scheduling
change helps us do just that.”
Earnhardt Jr. has already
completed two of his four races in 2013. He finished fourth at Daytona on Feb.
23 and seventh at Las Vegas this past Saturday. His two remaining races now
include the April 12 event at Texas Motor Speedway and the Sept. 14 event at
Chicagoland.
Kahne continues to share the
work with Brad Sweet in the No. 5 Great Clips Chevrolet, as together they make
up 27 of the 29 Great Clips-sponsored races in 2013. Great Clips, the world’s
largest hair salon brand, announced its partnership with JR Motorsports on Jan.
2.
