Dale Earnhardt Jr. driving cars owned by Richard Petty?
Yes, and it will happen Wednesday at Lowe's Motor Speedway.
But no, the driver of the No. 8 Chevrolets in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series is not jumping ship to join the Petty Enterprises team.
Wednesday's activities involve Earnhardt Jr. driving cars owned by the Richard Petty Driving Experience. He will be giving rides to 10 winners in a "Test Drive" sweepstakes conducted by Wrangler, one of his team's associate sponsors.
Earnhardt Jr. will also give another spin around the track to Debbie Crawford, from Ocala, Fla. Crawford's husband, Don, bid $42,100 to win the ride-along through an eBay auction to raise money for the American Red Cross and its hurricane relief efforts.
There were more than 60 bids on the ride-along in the auction that wrapped up Sept. 30. The Crawfords also got the trip to Charlotte, accommodations and a VIP tour of Dale Earnhardt Inc.'s shops in Mooresville for the winning bid.
