Dale Earnhardt Jr. will retire from NASCAR racing at the end of the 2017 season, it was announced on Tuesday. The two-time Daytona 500 winner has spent 18 seasons racing in the top NASCAR series, racking up 26 wins along the way. Earnhardt missed the second half of the 2016 season due to complications from a concussion, and is currently 24th in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup standings. His father, Dale Earnhardt Sr., won seven Cup championships before his death during the Daytona 500 in 2001. JR has made #NASCAR so much better and will continue to do so.
