For the past five years, Dale Earnhardt Jr. has been a familiar voice in the NBC Sports booth for NASCAR races. However, his contract hasn’t been renewed for 2024, sparking rumours about his departure and potential return in 2025.
Recent speculation linked the racing icon to TNT and Amazon Prime’s coverage in 2025, as both platforms will host five races each in the middle of the season under a new TV deal.
Addressing rumours circulating on Reddit, a now-deleted post made false claims about NBC’s reasons for not renewing Earnhardt’s contract. Alleged issues included NBC wanting remote race calls and disagreements with personnel during broadcasts.
Earnhardt took to social media to debunk the rumours, stating, “This is all untrue. NBC is not considering a remote booth, and I was never scolded for anything. NBC was amazing, and everyone there taught me a ton. I promise that’s the truth.” He expressed respect and gratitude for his NBC colleagues.
