About the charity topic - if you were a driver, would you risk your life and career in a medium which you are unfimilar with? What if something catastrophic happened to Dale Jr.? NASCAR and Hendrick would have multiple heart attacks, and to top it off Dale doesn't get paid.
Remember 2 or 3 years ago when Dale raced at Infineon raceway? He was driving the Corvette ALMS car when it caught fire. He was burned pretty badly on the hands and legs. I think after that, NASCAR was very weary of letting him race in non-NASCAR events.
Dale Jr. would need at least $1 million to race, and even then it's not going to happen.
Now, Tony Stewart racing at Texas would make more sense!
*BTW - Texas is on June 7, the next day on June 8 is Pocono for NASCAR.*
