February 18, 2026

GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • When asked to name drivers for a hypothetical NASCAR Truck Series team, Dale Earnhardt Jr. immediately picked JADE AVEDISIAN, calling her “the real deal” based on her dominant dirt midget career and breakthrough Super Late Model success.
  • AVEDISIAN just secured her first Super Late Model victory at the World Series of Asphalt, proving she can translate her dirt track skills across different racing disciplines – exactly the versatility that catches veteran eyes like Earnhardt’s.
  • The endorsement carries extra weight coming from fellow racer Corey Day, who told Earnhardt that AVEDISIAN “has what it takes” after racing alongside her extensively, giving us that peer validation that matters most in this sport.

UPCOMING:

  • NASCAR Truck Series season continues
  • World Series of Asphalt events
