Dale Earnhart Retires at end 2017

[FABMAN]

He has always been my favorite, but hard to understand how someone can walk away from $300 Mil a year.!

 

[mick]

because he's worth a ton of money, doesn't need to drive anymore, and mainly i think he's concerned about his
health and future as a dad with the concussions he has sustained......pretty smart move IMO

If you lose your health money means nothing........the cemetery is full of "rich" people

Smart move in my opinion. I just wish he'd have been able to have a better season to wrap up his career with. He'll be doing color commentary for MSNBC next year. He was in the booth during his time off last year, and I thought he did a pretty good job.
