Dale Earnhardt Jr. has taken his celeb and cash to the bar. No…not to booze it up and play dumb jock like Melo….but to make more cash and cash-in on his penchant for barkeepin’….
“There’s a stigma about how drivers can’t do anything,” Earnhardt said. “They have to focus, and this, that and the other. Anytime you do anything or want to do anything or talk about anything, people want to question your focus or whatever.”
It was probably inevitable Earnhardt would open a bar. There were all those stories of Club E, the homemade bar in the basement of his house as he was breaking into NASCAR’s top circuit. One of Earnhardt’s close friends, J.R. Rhodes, was once a bartender in Daytona. They had talked about opening a bar for years, and Whisky River became a reality this month. [link]
I love it! Why not cash-in on your alcoholism and all the knuckleheads that suck-off you anyway. I hear the bar is an exact replica of DEJ’s basement…there’s a water heater, washer and dryer, and a holding pen for those reluctant post-roofie dates. Oh….wait….wrong basement….I just had flashbacks of my college fraternity. Damn. Those were the days!
