He'll get in. No way in hell they keep him out.

In a way, I hope we hear something in 25-30 years about "Remember Dale Earnhardt Jr. retiring? He certainly did, stepping away completely from racing to be with his family and this fishing-hunting lifestyle he's enjoyed out of the public eye."

I mean, he has family, health (mostly), money out the wazoo, wants to rear a family, and could do all that away from racing with token - if any - involvement. I hope he says adios and enjoys life.
