Dale Jr interested in driving in the Indy 500

Dale Earnhardt Jr. says he would jump at the chance to drive in the Indianapolis 500 if there were not a conflicting NASCAR race on the same day.
Rain washed out his plans for a ride in a two-seat Indy car on Thursday. Instead, he strapped himself behind the wheel and received a 10-minute driving lesson from former 500 winner Dan Wheldon.
Earnhardt said he “picked his brains as hard as I could.” And he said driving at Indianapolis “definitely interests me,” though he has NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte, N.C., on the same day.
However, he said he and many other NASCAR drivers would try Indy if the schedules could be resolved.
How bout you drive your own 88 car and get competitive again….before you even THINK about driving something else….words from a proud member of JR Nation (and not ignorant, or biased like somepeople think we all are)
I think if he wants to try it let him. Maybe he will have better luck in an open wheel car? Just because he’s an Earnhardt doesn’t mean he has to stick with stock cars. Junior might kick some major butt in an Indy car.
AMP= Another Missed Pit. In IRL that stands for diaster.
Is it legal to install curb feelers on an IRL car?
