If Dale Earnhardt Jr. had the choice, the co-owner of JR Motorsports would regularly provide a ride in the Xfinity Series for short track stars.

“In a perfect world,” Earnhardt told NBC Sports after last weekend‘s Xfinity race at Martinsville, “I would love to run this car with all kinds of Bubbas and Carsons. I would love to give Carson a full season. I think he‘s ready to go. I‘d love to run Bubba Pollard full-time.”
But Earnhardt needs financial support to do so.
