Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s foundation amassed over $80K with gears from his Bristol race going for nearly three times as Kyle Larson's

Since his retirement in 2017, the two-time NASCAR Xfinity Series champion Dale Earnhardt Jr. has been on a journey to give back to society. Last September he raised over $80,000 for the Nationwide Children's Hospital with his Bristol race's gears.

Dale Jr. participated in his maiden race during the Xfinity Series playoffs on Saturday, September 20, 2024. He faced several major setbacks with his team radio, causing him a penalty. Despite the hardships, Junior finished seventh on the grid. The foundation decided to auction off Earnhardt Jr.'s race-worn gloves to help raise funds for the hospital.

NASCAR reporter Jospeh Srigley revealed the particulars of the auction by sharing an X post. Hendrick Motorsports driver Kyle Larson's gloves were auctioned for $5,250, while Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s gloves were auctioned for almost thrice the price, reaching a final bid of $15,435.

Srigely captioned the post:

"#NASCAR: @DaleJr’s race-worn gloves from Saturday’s Xfinity race at Bristol were auctioned off for $15,435. The @TDJF Driven to Give Glove Auction has raised (by a quick tally) more than $80k for the Dale and Amy Earnhardt Fund at Nationwide Children’s Hospital."

Larson's Chevy teammate William Byron also made it to the top three list and gathered $2,712.15, and the next on the list was Martin Truex Jr.'s gloves, reaching a final bid of $2,360.50. Former NASCAR Xfinity Series champion Cole Custer also made it to the list with the highest bid of $2,205 for his gloves. No glove was auctioned for less than a price tag of $400.
