NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt Jr attends Mooresville High game Friday -- and runs into his brother
Guess who came to the Mooresville High football game Friday?
Well, it was NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Jr., all dressed in Blue Devil blue. Wearing a Mooresville T-shirt and cap, Earnhardt saw his former high school beat North Lincoln 38-7 on homecoming. Earnhardt posted to Twitter that he was attending the game with his fiancee’ Amy Reimann and that it was his first high school football game in 20 years.
He didn’t realize, at first, that he was sitting two rows away from his brother, Kerry.
He tweeted that, too, and sent out a photo.
