Former NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. shares Christmas post as he expects to "slow down" next year
Christmas comes at a time when the racing world is down with off-season and the preparations for next year are underway. This can get quite busy sometimes for people indulged in the NASCAR teams' management section as they plan the strategies for the next season and settle with the driver moves.
While slowing down might sound like terrible advice for someone whose main line of work is related to racing, that is what Dale Earnhardt Jr. aims to be. In a celebratory social media post wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, Dale Jr. mentioned that he remained so stuck with everything that the holiday season seems to "fly by." He wrote that he would want to slow down this month next year.
"Merry Christmas y,all. Hope it's been a good holiday season. Man it seems this one flew by. The Christmas music on the local radio station won't be playing much longer. I gotta do better next year at slowing this month down at bit, if that's at all possible. Cheers 🍻"
