Darrell Waltrip just tweeted that Dale Earnhardt Jr will run a No. 3 car in the Subway Jalapeno 250 at Daytona in July. He wrote: “Here’s something that will make you go ‘hum’,Dale Jr driving the ’3′car in the nationwide race at Daytona in July,thats interesting.” No official announcement has been made, yet.
