In an interview from earlier this year, Dale Earnhardt Jr. was asked why he didn't completely walk away from the world of racing like some of his peers, including Carl Edwards. Earnhardt Jr.'s reasons included wanting to show his young daughters, who are six and four years old, what he's like as a driver, as well as showing them that this is a possible future for them. He said (via Athlon Sports):

"Well, there’s a lot of little reasons. I still love to drive. I want my girls to know what it was like for me to drive. I don’t want them to have to open a book when they’re 15 or 20 years old and (have) me explain it to them."

Dale Earnhardt Jr. also added that the other reason he continues to be involved in the sport, whether it's in the driver's seat or as a team owner of JR Motorsports, is because he likes to be around racers.

"So, at the end of the day I’m a racer. I’ve always been a racer. I am always going to be a racer and I’m always going to want to be around racers. I will either be driving a car, sending a car to the track, be in a broadcast booth, or whatever. I want my kids to see that passion and know there could be an avenue. If they don’t (want that), they don’t have to have anything to do with it. But I just want my girls to know what I did and understand it a little bit. I have five more years of being competitive and I feel really good about that. It gets me excited every day and I want to keep doing it."

The next episode of the 'Dale Jr. Download' podcast will release on March 12, 2025.
