Hendrick Motorsports, Dale Jr. take part in TaxSlayer Bowl


It may be the NASCAR offseason, but Hendrick Motorsports and Dale Earnhardt Jr. were busy this weekend, taking part in the TaxSlayer Bowl between Penn State and Georgia on Saturday afternoon.
The No. 88 TaxSlayer.com Chevrolet was on hand for fan photos, while Earnhardt took part in a Q&A outside the Jacksonville, Florida stadium. Prior to the game, Earnhardt took in the attention before driving onto the field to perform the opening coin toss.
