In the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Sam Mayer has been in fine form. The young protege of Dale Earnhardt Jr made his debut with JR Motorsports in 2021. Thus, he has been in for four years and constantly improving. The Texas and Iowa race winner celebrated his 21st birthday on June 26th. On the occasion, Dale Jr saw fit to send him a special birthday present. The 49-year-old owner of High Rock Vodka sent his driver a care package through his brand. To start things off, he received a small foam sleeve for drinks, colloquially known as a koozie, with Dale Jr and his wife's signatures. Furthermore, since he was officially of legal age to drink, Dale Jr gifted him a bottle of vodka. Also included were glasses, shot glasses, and a tumbler, to help him enjoy his drinks. Furthermore, he received High Rock Vodka branded sunglasses and a cap. Safe to say, he was pretty thrilled with his birthday presents. However, the team then dropped a small teaser and asked him to investigate further, and so he did, only to get a pleasing jaw-dropper.
The primary culprit appeared to be repaved corners of the track. Furthermore, this problem was not endemic to the Xfinity Series, as the Cup Series drivers suffered a similar fate. At least in their case, the problems cropped up during practice. This practically gave NASCAR plenty of time to try and rectify the issue during the race.
Unfortunately, fortune did not smile on Mayer at the following race in New Hampshire. While Christopher Bell romped to his first of two victories that weekend, Mayer could only muster a P19. Heading to the Nashville Superspeedway, Sam Mayer and Dale Earnhardt Jr will be hoping to regain some momentum. 2024-06-28T00:29:35Z dg43tfdfdgfd
