Dale Earnhardt Jr. has announced a deeply personal and historic tribute as JR Motorsports prepares to debut a black No. 3 car at Phoenix Raceway — a direct homage to his legendary father, Dale Earnhardt Sr. For Junior, this moment is about more than racing; it’s about legacy, honoring the past, and finishing what his father started. “Phoenix is more than a race,” Dale Jr. said. “It’s a chance to connect with my dad’s memory in a way that feels powerful and right.”
The black No. 3 car, iconic in NASCAR history due to Earnhardt Sr.’s dominance, will return to the track not just as a symbol, but as a competitive force. Fans have been buzzing with excitement and curiosity over who will be behind the wheel — and JR Motorsports has finally confirmed that rising star Carson Kvapil will pilot the car. Kvapil, already proving his talent in the Xfinity Series, will carry the responsibility and honor of the number that defined a racing era.
This entry is more than a one-off tribute; it’s a statement of purpose. For Dale Jr. and JR Motorsports, it’s about racing with heart, honoring family, and continuing a legacy that shaped the sport.
