BUY TICKETS: See the Daytona 500 live!
Dale Earnhardt Jr. fans watching Super Bowl LI on Sunday may have been surprised to see their favorite driver as a “Simpsons” cartoon character. Turns out the driver was surprised as well.
A short clip on FOX used animated series “The Simpsons” to promote the upcoming Daytona 500 on Feb. 26 (2 p.m. ET, FOX, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio), and Earnhardt Jr. was in the driver’s seat.
Holy smokes Dale Jr Simpson wth
