Earnhardt Jr. Says Turnaround Is Just Around the Corner | Racin' Today

Earnhardt Jr. Says Turnaround Is Just Around the Corner | Racin' Today: "He has several projects to occupy his time and his mind. There’s his bar in Charlotte, Whiskey River, and lots more as well.

“I tore down my old house, and I’m in the process of building a new one,” he said. “That’s been an experience.”

He also seems to have inherited his father’s love of the land.

“I have 300 acres that I’m always working on, doing little projects,” he said. “I sort of mold out how I want it. That takes a long time. That’s been fun doing that.”

Lately he’s added a covered wooden bridge over a creek that flows through his spread.

“It’s like one you’d see on an old calendar,” he said.

His next addition likely will be a windmill, and the property already has a pond on it.

“It’s got a lot of neat little nooks on it,” he said. “I’m trying to turn it into a real pretty place. It’s a piece of property that I think my family, particularly my father, would be proud of.”

He’s also built some bridges, so to speak, at work. He continues to enjoy his relationship with his car owner and with his teammates."
