The Announcement

A Gesture of Remembrance

The inspiration for the shirts comes from one of the final iconic moments of Charlie Kirk, who was seen wearing a similar shirt during his last campus event at Utah Valley University before his assassination. For Earnhardt Jr., this act is more than just about NASCAR—it’s about honoring the memory of a man whose presence left a mark on many communities. By placing these shirts into the hands of fans, the racing icon hopes to extend that legacy, turning the grandstands into a sea of unity.

Earnhardt Jr.’s Vision

A Day Beyond Racing

September 28 will not only showcase drivers battling for victory on the Kansas Speedway but also present a unique moment where fans become part of something larger than the sport. As 5,000 supporters slip on the “Freedom” shirts, the stands will become a living tribute—visible proof that remembrance can be as powerful as the roar of engines.
