EARNHARDT JR. WOULD LIKE TO RACE IN INDY SOMEDAY
Thursday, July 9th, 2009 -- 1:08 PM
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 today. Instead, he strapped himself behind the wheel and received a 10-minute driving lesson from former 500 winner Dan Wheldon. Earnhardt said driving at Indianapolis "definitely interests me," though he has NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte, N.C., on the same day. He also said he and many other NASCAR drivers would try Indy if the schedules could be resolved.Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
