Fox In The Fast Lane Podcast

It’s Dale Jr’s world and NASCAR is just living in it. FOX’s Chris Hoenig has this week’s NASCAR preview: The Dale Earnhardt Jr. farewell tour gets underway this weekend in Richmond, the first race since his retirement announcement: (Earnhardt Jr.) “I just wanted the opportunity to go out on my own terms.” A chance he nearly missed when a concussion knocked him out of the second-half of last year’s races… For Kurt Busch, it’s the end of the road for a legend: (Busch) “To me there is nobody that will ever replace Dale Jr.” Green flag in the Toyota owners 400 set for 2 p.m. Eastern on Sunday. 400 laps around the 3/4 of a mile d-shaped oval. Stage 1 ends after lap 100, stage 2 after lap 200… And drivers and fans alike will notice the candy cane-painted barriers. Raceway officials painting the exterior walls with alternating red and white stripes to pay homage to the track’s early days. Elsewhere, a fine for Martin Truex Jr’s crew
