We only get to do this five weeks.’ I had a lot of fun and it’s going to be here and gone in a snap of a finger. I am all about doing 600 miles.”Which NASCAR races will Dale Earnhardt Jr. call on TV in 2025?Amazon Prime Video and TNT will share coverage of 10 Cup races, and Earnhardt will work each of them.
