Jeffrey Earnhardt is the grandson of 7 Time NASCAR Cup Champion Dale Earnhardt and nephew of this generation’s most popular driver, Dale Jr.  Jeffrey began his race career piloting a silver 4 cylinder Yugo on the dirt tracks of Wythe Raceway in Rural Retreat, Virginia. He won Rookie of the Year at the local track and knew immediately that he’d be chasing his dreams to the paved tracks of NASCAR. Jeffrey hasn’t depended on his famous last name for opportunity.  Creating his own company and working his way thru the ranks like his grandfather did, Jeffrey has competed in Truck, Xfinity and Specialty events including the Rolex Series and NASCAR Euro Series.  He is absolutely committed to “Earning Earnhardt” and has his sights set on becoming a NASCAR Champion.

Bristol, TN- Jeffrey Earnhardt heads to the last Colesium for some Friday night small track racing after a very impressive run at Daytona Super Speedway.  Large or small, Earnhardt has a great feel for the tracks and is demonstrating why he has his sights on a future championship.

“The team did a great job at Daytona and we were able to run upfront for a lot of the race” said Jeffrey.  “Finishing in 11th after some chaotic wrecks was a good step forward for the 45 team and I’m looking forward to this evening in Bristol.”

Earnhardt will be piloting the K9 Grass Chevrolet with a large contingency of ForeverLawn guests in attendance.  “We travel big” commented the 4th generation driver.  “Dale, Brian and the ForeverLawn family have a large group of people coming so it gives me an opportunity to have some fun pre-race and show people some small track racing.  I usually have strong performances at Bristol and last season Alpha Prime ran really well here so I’m optimistic we’re gonna put on a good show for our guests.”

The Food City 300 gets underway at 7:30pm ET on the USA network.

Top 20 at Pocono

July 22, 2023 Pocono Raceway- Jeffrey Earnhardt and the Alpha Prime Racing number 45 team demonstrated a grit & perseverance that has come to define the 4th generation Earnhardt’s career.  

The Erie Sports Center/ForeverLawn Chevrolet had a slow start in practice but major moves by Earnhardt’s crew chief was a roll of the dice that paid off when the green flag flew.

Starting from the depth of the field the 45 Camaro navigated its way thru traffic and had all the makings for a good day in the hills of Pennsylvania. That optimism would come to a pause when a broken part put down Earnhardt’s tire requiring a green flag pit.  The crew did a great job with repairs but Jeffrey went down two laps in the pits.  Fans of the gritty team knew this wouldn’t deter Earnhardt from delivering 110%.

With best in class spotting, brilliant calls from the box and some good fortune cautions, the 45 returned to the lead lap and proceeded to pick off the cars in its class.

When the checkers showed themselves Earnhardt and team crossed the finish line with a top 20 finish.  “We don’t quit” commented Jeffrey.  “Things haven’t been as we would have expected this season but everyone on this team has pride and we owe it to each other to keep grinding and give it our best.  We did that today.”

Earnhardt returns to action in Michigan where his VIP guests will be 20 Army Rangers.  

Pocono Preview

July 18, 2023 Mooresville, NC – Jeffrey Earnhardt is preparing for the 19th race in the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity series schedule.  Pocono Raceway is an opportunity for the Alpha Prime race team to bounce back after some challenging outings.  “Things just haven’t gone as planned so far this season” commented the 4th generation Earnhardt driver.  “We have flashes of hope like a fast car in Atlanta and then this past week in New Hampshire two of the cars have mechanical issues.  That’s plagued our team throughout the season and it’s frustrating.  I’m hoping we can make the remaining races count and turn things around.”

Earnhardt has been named as one of the drivers being considered for the number 8 car at JR Motorsports next season.  During a recent live podcast Dale Jr. mentioned his nephew as a driver they’re speaking with to pilot the number 8 Camaro in 2024.  The prospect of Jeffrey racing for JRM would be amazing.  

For now Earnhardt is focused on maximizing the remainder of the 2023 season and demonstrating his blue collar work ethic as he’s “Earning Earnhardt.”
