According to the latest gossip on HollywoodLife.com, NASCAR “star,” Dale Earnhardt, Jr. is being wooed by "Dancing with the Stars" for next year’s show beginning in January. The insiders at HollywoodLife.com are saying Dale, Jr. is retiring from NASCAR, so he will be on TV every weekend for the second part of the 2018 NASCAR season situated in NBC’s broadcast booth. "Dancing with the Stars" has been trying for years to get him to dance on the show. His retirement from racing would be the perfect time for him to put his dancing shoes on.

The insiders with HollywoodLife.com’s says the producer has in mind for NFL player, Colin Kaepernick, 30, and Dale Earnhardt, Jr., 43 to bring on some heavy star power.

And just in case you have not heard of quarterback Colin Kaepernick, he was the NFL player who began the NFL players protesting the standing for the National Anthem at football games. This protest came as a result of the police brutality and racial inequities in our communities all across America.

The latest news from USA Today is that Season 26 will be shorter and have a cast made up entirely of athletes. Although both Kaepernick and Earnhardt, Jr. have not signed a contract, ABC is boosting their confidence in getting both.
