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.

The 4th generation driver will be honoring his grandfathers 1997 Wheaties car with an incredible design featuring partners BZ MART, ForeverLawn and GASPOS.  Earnhardt heads to the “Lady in Black” with a new number and a fresh perspective on the 2023 season.  “This season got off to a rough start so we all sat down to discuss what needed to improve and come up with a plan to execute the change” stated Earnhardt.  “Everyone of us from the sponsors to the team and my group made calls that we think put us in a position to right the ship.  We had issues that could have been avoided and some that were misfortune but this is not an excuse or explanation sport.  Results are what matter and we are going to demonstrate that we have what it takes.  We changed the car number for points purposes but also to do a complete reboot on the season. I’m pumped to drive this car and give Earnhardt fans a super cool hot rod to cheer for.”

Dega Recap:

Posted by Paul in Front page news, News

25 April 2023 – Mooresville, NC.  The Alpha Prime 44 Chevrolet Camaro driven by Jeffrey Earnhardt was on the upswing after a good showing at Richmond and Martinsville the previous two weeks before Talladega.  The finishes were top 20’s but the actions by driver and team inspired confidence that the season was turning around from a rough start.

Enter Dega.  Earnhardt started in P19 and throughout the first two stages showed exactly why his famous family setup a second residence at the giant super speedway in Alabama.  In a picture perfect maneuver, Earnhardt avoided being part of the first caution with a strategic pause and then evasive driving to miss a wrecking 31 car.  Then with patience and proper lane changes Jeffrey found himself picking up spot after spot.  Finding his place with the top cars Earnhardt was racing in the top 10 and had his sights moving to the front in Stage 3.
 
With little warning Earnhardt found himself holding the shifter in his hand and no longer attached to the transmission.  “In all my years of racing I’ve never had this happen to me or heard of any driver having this experience” commented Jeffrey.  “I don’t know how something like this happens but it’s not acceptable.  We were having a great run and Groves has been having solid performances as my crew chief so for this to be the reason our race ends early is super disappointing for all of us.  I’m looking forward to Dover so all of us can bounce back and have a strong showing.”
 
The NASCAR Xfinity Series heads to the Monster Mile this weekend at Dover Motor Speedway.  The action begins at 2PM ET.

Project SQRL at Richmond

Posted by Paul in Front page news, News

April 1, 2023 – Richmond, VA.  The 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series teams pulled into Richmond Raceway yesterday with a rainy forecast on the radar and hope that it would pass in time for the green flag at 1pm. With practice and qualifying rained out, Jeffrey Earnhardt and the 44 team will be starting back in the 34th position.

Alpha Prime Racing had a rough start to the season but expect to turn it around with a strong showing in Richmond.  “We had a number of consecutive races with issues and then last week in COTA the 44 car got snake bit with another mechanical problem with Sage in the car” commented Jeffrey.  “We all know this team is capable of turning things around and today is our chance to right the ship.”

Green flag is scheduled for 1pm ET and the race will be aired on FS1.
