Dale Earnhardt Jr. Testing at Daytona

MODERATOR: We welcome now Dale Earnhardt Jr., driver of the No. 88 National Guard Chevrolet. Dale, welcome back to Daytona, 2014 season. Talk to us a little bit about your thoughts coming into a new season and what it feels like to be back at Daytona.

DALE EARNHARDT JR.: Yeah, I wish the weather would straighten out so we could get out on the track, but otherwise we're just kind of hanging out.

I think I've been in the shop a little bit this off season. Looks like everybody is geared up to get going and get out of the shop and get back to the racetrack and do some testing and just get back into the groove and get back in the car and get back with your guys and working on trying to improve what you're doing.

There's still a little bit of off season left, and we're definitely going to make the most out of January, as we always do, before we have to really get to work. But everybody seems to be pretty excited about getting the year going.

On January 21, 2010,  K&N Filters signed an agreement be the title sponsor of NASCAR's top developmental series, which was formerly known as the Camping World Series East and West. K&N started as the series entitlement sponsor of the 2010 Toyota All-Star Showdown on January 29th-30th the same year. The agreement between K&N and NASCAR will go through the 2016 season.

"K&N is a company that epitomizes the spirit of NASCAR," said Brian France, NASCAR chairman and CEO stated in 2010. "The developmental series are a tremendously integral part of the past, present and future of NASCAR -- from the great champions throughout the years to the pipeline of tremendous racers that have made their way up the NASCAR ladder to our national series."

K&N traces its involvement with NASCAR back to the early days of supplying parts for the Sprint Cup Series races at the old Riverside Speedway.

“We are thrilled to be the Official Developmental Series Partner and sponsor of the NASCAR K&N Pro Series,” said Steve Rogers, chief executive officer of K&N Engineering. “Our roots in NASCAR go back to the 1970s and this feels like a partnership long overdue. After supporting grassroots and professional racing for decades, we love the idea of supporting a developmental series that provides great racing excitement while developing the top tier drivers of tomorrow.”
