Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s lone NASCAR start of the 2019 season came in last month’s Xfinity Series race at Darlington Raceway. A fifth-place finish capped his first start in about a year, as he drove a paint scheme first driven by his seven-time champion father in 1975.
The weekend was captured by Dirty Mo Media for a short film, “Time Machine.” From Earnhardt’s thoughts and nerves before practice and the race, fan reaction to his great run, handling questions about the plane crash he was in two weeks earlier outside of Bristol Motor Speedway to the joys of having wife Amy and daughter Isla experience the throwback weekend with him, “Time Machine” takes you inside the race weekend as the driver himself experienced it.

“I don’t know that I’ve ever felt this good about any fifth-place finish in my life,” Earnhardt says in the film.
