Dale Earnhardt Jr. Has Photographer, Film Crew Documenting Last Race

Dale Earnhardt Jr. will drive his last race Sunday and has “hired a personal photographer to document the final weekend and he's had a camera crew filming in preparation for a possible documentary.” Earnhardt “has a photo shoot set” for Friday with longtime friend Matt Kenseth. Earnhardt and Kenseth “broke in together and leave the series together” (AP, 11/17).

Meanwhile, Kenseth, who said he does not expect to race in ’18, “will be honored by Joe Gibbs Racing and sponsor DeWalt with a design from his rookie season.” Kenseth in ’00 entered the Cup Series “driving a No. 17 DeWalt car for Jack Roush.” Earnhardt, who also began his full-time career in ‘00, previously “announced he would be running a paint scheme resembling his first Budweiser car” (RACER.com, 11/14).
