Dale Earnhardt Jr. has iTunes Playlist
Dale Earnhardt Jr. has his own iTunes playlist on the popular Apple Music store. In fact during practice over the weekend, I believe I saw an Apple iPod Mini strapped to the center console of his #8 Chevrolet. Late last season Jimmie Johnson was seen walking through the garage area with an iPod as well. Have you seen a driver with the hot music device? Let us know on the message boards!
Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s Playlist
"I've said for years my job would be a helluva lot better if they let me put a nice sound system inside my racecar. Until then, I guess I have to do with these songs outside of the No. 8 car..."
