However, the All-Star race being moved to Dover from North Wilkesboro Speedway caught everyone's eye.Speaking about the same on his podcast, Dale Jr Download, Earnhardt Jr. talked about how he was shocked by the decision. He said (via Dirty Mo Media):"There are a lot of reasons why Dover is going to be an All-Star race. It isn't just the decision of one person or one business or one entity. NASCAR would want to improve the networks, have a ton of leverage on really how that works out. I am shocked honestly, that they were even able to switch Wilkesboro and Dover. I didn't think it was possible. I heard about this probably a month or two ago. I never thought that they would make it the All-Star race because number one doesn't have lights, and it's Dover."Dale Earnhardt Jr. further highlighted Denny Hamlin's point about making Dover an All-Star race, as the track does not get passes until 30-40 laps in."Denny had such a great point on his show, Denny said "man you know dover needs 400 laps to have a chance to be a good show". The All Star race are quick segments. You know, 20-30 or whatever it is. Quick little you know stages and a 30 lap run at Dover is not going to be that compelling, but I'm as confused or perplexed I guess, as I am about that All Star race," he added.Dale Earnhardt Jr. retired from the sport in 2017. However, he likes to stay involved in the series and is currently serving as the part-time crew chief for Connor Zilisch in the Xfinity Series.
