Dale Jr will step out of the drivers seat.. at the end of the 2017 season..
But will still field cars as owner of JRM..
Rumors are he might end up in the broadcast booth..

I dont get how he always wins 'most popular' award nearly every year. Its just because his dads name is recognizable by everyone in my opinion. He has never been when id call a spectacular driver...hes won some, but mostly hes an 'also ran'. He should have quit several years ago.

I think that seeing how Steve Park was treated after his concussion had a huge impact on Dale.
Concussions have consequences; at least he is retiring on his own terms.

26 cup wins, 2 bush titles.. does a bunch for make a wish, Supports small teams,, those underfinded teams just like his dad did for dave marcus, and neil bonnet..
Interacts with the fans.. Replies to all fan mail..,etc..
THAT is why.. Soft spoken , without an ego, same reason Bill Elliot was the most popular award winner most years and not Sr..
Is the reason Trux and Bad Brad../Chase Elliot . got rides..
And Goes to the nascar bosses with the complaints of the fans.. to get things changed..
The going back to the old format for the all star race, He pushed for..
THe optional sticky tire for that race ,he lobbied for..
THe VHT on the track to make for passing and not one groove track, he lobbied for..
The better chase format,, and the change from lap 20-480 being boring, to the now, the whole race is importance for the points he lobbied for..
As the fans didn't like the middle of the race were it looked like they were just clicking off laps..

There is a good reason he wins that award every year..
If Brian France was smart he put him in charge of the operations.. as he addresses what the fans want ..

Amen E Furgal, I would bet that he plays a big role in NASCAR future and events to get it back to what was when his dad and all the other great drivers made the sport what it is today.
