Dale Earnhardt Jr. is NASCAR’s most popular driver in the present. But the driver he currently employs, Xfinity Series champion Chase Elliott, could assume that mantle in the not-too-distant future.
One thing is certain: They’re both heading into pivotal 2015 campaigns. Earnhardt won four times in 2014 but wants more after being eliminated in the second round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
Meanwhile, Elliott – the future driver of Jeff Gordon’s No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet – hopes to defend his Xfinity Series title and also do well in his first series of Cup starts.
You’ll hear from both Earnhardt and Elliott in one-on-one interviews today on NASCAR AMERICA. If you can’t tune in at 5 p.m. ET on NBCSN, you can stream today’s show online and on your mobile device through NBC Sports Live Extra.
