Out of all the ridiculous things NASCAR has done over the years, this is up there as one of the worst. Even if you’re newer to the sport, you still probably know how popular Dale Earnhardt Jr. was while he was a driver, and still is to this day. He raced in the Cup Series for 18 seasons, won 26 races, including two Daytona 500 victories, and he also holds the record for most Most Popular Driver Awards, winning it 15 consecutive times from 2003 to 2017.

It just makes you wonder what could’ve been. Of course, if you know anything about the Earnhardt’s or NASCAR, you’ve probably heard a lot about how much fans strongly dislike Teresa Earnhardt (that’s putting it nicely), and her relationship with Dale Earnhardt’s kids Kerry, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kelley is strained, at the absolute best.

I mean, what did you expect her to say? Dolly Parton knows how to work the media, and what to say and what not to say, better than just about anyone… and apparently, she’s a big fan of Beyoncé, who she collaborated with on Bey’s Cowboy Carter album last year which also included a completely reimagined rendition of Dolly’s country classic “Jolene.”The new version is rewritten from top to bottom, aside from the “Jolene” part in the chorus, and has an entirely different production, too.

I like it even more now. Late last night, Megan Moroney shared a pretty lengthy teaser of a song she’s previewed before, though with a much shorter clip, of a song seemingly titled “Heartbreaker,” which details how a relationship went sideways… though the guy keeps popping back up every now and then when she’s just about over it… classic.

Surprise. Today, Joshua Ray Walker announced he will be releasing a new album Tropicana next Friday, June 13th, which was written during his treatment for stage 3b colon cancer that had spread to his lungs. After undergoing treatment and chemotherapy for months, he underwent a biopsy, and doctors told him that their initial diagnosis was incorrect and that his lungs are cancer-free.
