NASCAR NEWS - Dale Earnhardt Jr. AND Danica Patrick Say Their Final Goodbye to Dover

Entitlement Sponsor Strong Eagle Media Chairman Bert Bedrosian says a final goodbye to two of racings greatest Icons.

Dover international Speedway says hello and goodbye for the final time to two of NASCARS biggest stars. Both Dale Earnhardt jr. and Danica Patrick will run the iconic monster mile for the very last time at this year’s Apache Warrior 400. They will be missed!

This year’s race will again be sponsored by Strong Eagle Media and named after their most recent film Apache Warrior.

Last year’s race was named the Citizen Soldier 400 after their 2016 award winning film about the Oklahoma National Guard’s deployment to one of the most dangerous war zones on earth.

The award-winning Apache Warrior chronicles nail biting real footage of thirteen Apache warrior aviators as they engage enemy forces and are overwhelmed by enemy fire that was ready and waiting for them.

"We consider it an honor to support our incredible young men and woman in uniform while supporting a truly great American sport" says Bedrosian.

Apache Warrior was produced by Bert Bedrosian, Christian Tureaud and David Salzberg.
