What Dale Earnhardt Jr. said about his chances of winning an F1 race

Dale Earnhardt Jr., a NASCAR legend, has opened up about his chances of winning an F1 Grand Prix race. He said that he would have better chances if they raced on ovals, and the same way F1 drivers would do better in NASCAR on road courses.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. started his partnership with Hard Rock International, where he serves as the brand ambassador for the iconic entertainment and hospitality brand. Junior joins the team of athletes representing Hard Rock, such as Lionel Messi. On race days, Hard Rock Cafe features menu items inspired by Earnhardt’s favourite food items, including Star Dust Wings and the Ol’ 8 Cocktail. NASCAR fans can interact with Dale Jr. through the Hard Rock Bets sports betting platform.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was asked on Hard Rock Bets’ Instagram page about the possibility of a NASCAR driver being good in an F1 Grand Prix Race. Junior replied:

"If F1 raced on ovals, I could have won an F1 race, absolutely. F1 is strictly road course racing. I would have had to have trained my entire life to even have been competitive, I believe. But I grew up racing on ovals. That's really like a completely different, unique discipline. And the way you drive an oval versus the way you drive a road course is so different. "

"So I think if they ever ran them on ovals, I'd have a shot for sure. F1 drivers could absolutely come into NASCAR and be competitive, but mainly on the road courses, I think that they'd have a hard time learning the discipline of racing on our ovals with the kind of cars we have. It'd be as difficult as any of our oval guys going over and trying to be great in F1. But if they came and ran a road course race, you'd have to say that they had a shot to win, yeah, for sure", he added.

Junior is a third-generation racer in NASCAR, following in the legendary footsteps of his father, Dale Earnhardt (the winner of seven Cup Series championships, which equals the record for the most). Dale Earnhardt Jr. began his career in the Xfinity Series, where he secured two Xfinity Series Championships, winning them both back to back in 1998 and 1999, driving for Dale Earnhardt Inc.

He quickly moved up to the Cup Series and captured his first win in just his 12th start, and ended his career with 26 Cup Series victories. Junior is an extremely popular figure in NASCAR, evident by his 15 consecutive Most Popular Driver wins.
