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.
Talladega Recap
Talladega, AL – The ForeverLawn Black and Green Grass Machine rolled into Talladega Super Speedway with arguably their sharpest looking design since entering the sport. The new look coupled with a new number struggled in qualifying but thanks to some good calls by team and driver, Jeffrey Earnhardt didn’t remain in the back for long.
The fourth generation driver was in the heart of Earnhardt Country and once again demonstrated his family’s skill at NASCAR’s largest track. “We knew we had a good package but qualifying didn’t work out as planned” said Jeffrey. “The guys as Sam Hunt Racing felt confident the car would improve and it only took a few laps to climb the ladder.”
And climb he did.
Earnhardt piloted the number 24 Toyota Supra into the top ten and was positioning the team for a strong finish. “I felt like our car was really responsive and I could change lanes with ease. Unfortunately one of the other teams made a careless error and took out several cars. We were I that unlucky few that had our day ended early.”
Jeffrey returns to action in Nashville on May 31st and his confidence is high. “I think we’re going to run up front and look forward to having the opportunity to give ForeverLawn and our fans something special.”
It’s Dega Baby
Mooresville, NC – NASCAR driver Jeffrey Earnhardt heads back to the heart of Earnhardt Country to tackle the high banks of Talladega Superspeedway this weekend. Piloting the number 24 ForeverLawn Toyota Supra for Sam Hunt Racing, this will be Earnhardt’s first super speedway race of the 2025 season. “There’s something special about racing in Dega” said the 4th generation driver from the most famous family of racing. “The on track excitement coupled with the off track enthusiasm from the worlds greatest fan base, how can you not love coming here.”
Earnhardt will once again be greeted by the ForeverLawn family as they travel heavy to the deep south lands of Alabama. “You know when I’m in the Black and Green grass machine” said Jeffrey, “the ForeverLawn folks fill their own grandstand here. I love them and appreciate them more than I can ever express. Our goal is to win and I think Sam Hunt and his team are ready for their first win this weekend.”
The green flag waves this Saturday at 4pm eastern time.
ForeverLawn to Sponsor Earnhardt Once Again in 2025
February 13, 2025 Posted by in Front page news
Jeffrey Earnhardt will be returning to Sam Hunt Racing (SHR) for a part-time NASCAR Xfinity Series campaign in 2025.
Earnhardt, a fourth-generation racer from Mooresville, North Carolina, will pilot SHR’s No. 24 Toyota Supra entry, which is serving as the team’s “all-star entry, for his first-scheduled Xfinity start of this upcoming season at Talladega Superspeedway. For the event, Earnhardt will be sponsored by ForeverLawn.
The news comes as Earnhardt is coming off a six-race Xfinity campaign at SHR, which included starts at Atlanta Motor Speedway in February, Talladega in April, both Michigan International Speedway and Daytona International Speedway in August, Bristol Motor Speedway in September and the season-finale event at Phoenix Raceway in November. During the six-race span, Earnhardt notched a season-best eighth-place result at Atlanta.
“I’m very excited to have ForeverLawn back as a partner this year,” Earnhardt said in a released statement. “They are family to me, and I know [team owner] Sam [Hunt] and everyone on the team feels the same way. They continue to grow the company and launch incredible products in the synthetic turf world. After last season’s races with the Sam Hunt team and the speed they showed, it only made sense to run it back. I can’t express how thankful I am to be able to drive their cars. I’m grateful for the support Toyota has given SHR to grow as a team and to me to continue developing as a driver. We have several races on the calendar, and I look forward to the first race.”
“I couldn’t be more excited to continue our relationship with Jeffrey and the ForeverLawn family throughout 2025,” Sam Hunt added. “Jeffrey is the ultimate teammate and takes a lot of pride in the development of SHR, which means a ton to me. We also know he can deliver in our GR Supras, and will give him all the tools we can to be successful on the track. He has become like family to our staff, and everyone in the building wants to see him succeed. I’m so grateful to Dale and the entire Karmie family for recognizing our shared vision and alignment of core values between SHR and ForeverLawn. It’s going to be a fun year watching Jeffrey run up front.”
Currently, Earnhardt is the second competitor announced to pilot SHR’s No. 24 Toyota entry for the 2025 Xfinity season. Ryan Truex is scheduled to pilot the entry for this upcoming weekend’s season-opening event at Daytona International Speedway. SHR’s No. 24 “all-star” entry will compete alongside the organization’s No. 26 Toyota entry that is set to be driven by rookie Dean Thompson on a full-time basis.
The rest of the scheduling details for both Earnhardt and SHR’s No. 24 driver lineup for the 2025 season remains to be determined.
Jeffrey Earnhardt’s first NASCAR Xfinity Series start of the 2025 season is scheduled to occur at Talladega Superspeedway for the Ag-Pro 300. The event is scheduled to occur on April 26 and air at 4 p.m. ET on the CW Network.
