Roush Fenway Racing driver Darrell Wallace Jr. was able to see a grandmother before she passed away thanks to the help of Dale Earnhardt Jr.

A great story. Earnhart Jr out much of the year recovering from a concussion in a NASCAR racing accident.

I wondered if he was Rusty Wallace’s kin until I looked on wikipedia. Whoops! Ah well, honest mistake... I quit NASCAR in the late 1990’s.

NASCAR is so much like a family, but the France family is trying to PC it. Dale Jr is one of the old timers who will step aside soon - Jeff Gordon retired, Tony Stewart is retiring after next week and the new guys - Chase Elliot, Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski, the Dillon boys...and a few others from the regional series will be stepping in their shoes.
