Roots & Revival: Fly on the Wall presented by Summit Treestands.
Follow along as a "Fly on the Wall," as Dale Earnhardt Jr. and the JR Motorsports late model team test at North Wilkesboro Speedway. You'll get to go along for the ride as Dale turns laps to test the track and tires ahead of the upcoming events.
In August thousands will flock to Wilkes County, North Carolina to experience the revival of North Wilkesboro Speedway, a beloved race track that despite two decades of dormancy and abandonment has found new life. Among the pilgrims will be NASCAR Hall-of-Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr., who intends to do more than just witness the resurrection himself. When the sun drops on Aug. 31 and the field of late-model stock cars roar to life, Dale will be behind the wheel of the No. 3 in a paint scheme resembling the one he raced 30 years earlier.
Roots + Revival is Dirty Mo Media's latest KZfaq series that follows Dale Jr.'s return to late model racing at North Wilkesboro.
