Highlights from Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s iRacing IndyCar Debut

We've got the best of Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s #3 Nationwide team radio chatter from Saturday’s iRacing #INDYCARChallenge race held at the virtual Michigan International Speedway with crew chief (and color commentator) Steven Steffen. Dale Jr. took home a third-place finish in his IndyCar debut.

That's some balls you got there telling Indy drivers they should know their fuel. That was pretty funny actually.

Dale jr. After not saying anything bad: "What'd I say? Anything bad?"

Kyle Larson: "Hold my beer"

Thats awesome that 2 non Indy Car guys finished in the top 3, Scott Mclaughlan races V8 Supercars for Penske in Australia

Did the NASCAR driver "accidentally" throw shade to the indy drivers? You're damn right.

I hope the fuel milage comment did go to everyone. Lots of those guys had their normal strategist. They should have pitted when Junior did. The race control even told them they could and held the caution out longer for them to come in and they didn't.

Great race P3 in first attempt. Thanks for posting. LOTS of fun to watch and hear the strategy. Best part is it worked perfectly. 0.0 gallons at the checkered flag.

Patience and clean driving right there.

That was awesome. I seriously think it would be a great idea for junior to do weekly iRacing live stream even after NASCAR and all racing open back up. I would love to see that and I think other Dale jr. Fans would to as well.

7:46 Not bad?!... I thought that was pretty good! Third place for debut is great

[markallenbell]

I didn’t know what to think about this type thing. Prolly wouldn’t have watched if Dale Jr hadn’t been racing. You know, pretty enjoyable for what it was. Hope Dale does it again. Pleasant way to spend an afternoon. Thanks for giving us a little break from everything.

I love it! More please. I am a new rookie to all track types and I hope to climb that ladder and say I got to race with my favorite race car drivers!!! Thank you for sharing!

[Coolbreeze]

I do appreciate a good fuel mileage race every once in awhile

[name-kt]

Love this. JR is such a wholesome guy.

[marciawilliams]

Awesome finish for Dale Jr and Nationwide.

Great job Dale! Doing the Earnhardt name proud.

[traviswood]

That’s hilarious “did I say anything bad?” 🤣

[blutosadlowski]

Nice. 3rd place for a debut, id say thats pretty strong. I like the indy cars. Never watched enough of it to get into it, but they are some wicked fast machines.

Will Power complaining when things don’t go his way, as per usual

[jeffmartintowing]

Good job jr that's an awesome first race in an Indy car
