Jeffrey Earnhardt, grandson of Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt and nephew of current superstar Dale Jr., is rising through the ranks of up-and-coming drivers.

Not only that, but he is also a big fan of liberty-oriented causes. And so, he is teaming up with the Oath Keepers for the Nationwide Series race at the Dover International Speedway on June 1, 2013.

this is cool as hell... I can't believe there is going to be an Oath Keepers racing car driving around on my TV screen in a few weeks, and that I will actually have a reason to tune into a NASCAR race for once.

The race is June 1st on ESPN apparently.

Where & When: Dover International Speedway Dover, DE. Saturday, June 01 02:30 PM ET - TV: ESPN – Radio: MRN. The television audience is 1.5 million people average for this race (Should exceed this number with the move from ESPN2 to ESPN), Race attendance for the NNS race will be 40,000 people. Jeffrey will also do media promoting the Oath Keepers message leading into the race weekend, reaching millions more. In addition, the social media push using the Earnhardt brand will get attention and help spread the Oath Keepers message to millions prior to the race.

Oath Keepers ‘Patriot’ Group May Sponsor NASCAR Prince

Posted in 'Patriot' Groups by Don Terry on April 29, 2013

Jeffrey Earnhardt, a young prince of one of NASCAR’s royal families, and the Oath Keepers, a conspiracy-spinning “Constitutionalist” group, are joining forces for an upcoming race that “could help make Oath Keepers a household name.”

At least that’s the pitch – and the hope – of the Oath Keepers founder, Stewart Rhodes, as he tries to raise $30,000 in time to get a car on the track for a June 1 NASCAR-sanctioned second-tier race at Dover International Speedway in Dover, Del.

“This is the first of what we hope will be many races run with an Oath Keepers car,” Rhodes writes in an on-line money pitch. “The potential exposure is in the tens of millions.”

On its website, the far-right group says donations “will speak loudly to all the foes of our Republic, both foreign and domestic, so please be as generous as you can to help preserve the liberty we cherish.”

Rhodes, a Yale-educated lawyer and Army veteran, founded the rapidly growing organization in 2009. It is comprised mostly of active-duty police and military, as well as veterans, who worry about issues such as gun control and the much-feared “New World Order.”

Members swear (a second time) to uphold their oath to the Constitution and not to obey orders they think conflict with that. Among those orders (10 “Orders We Will Not Obey” are listed on the Oath Keepers website): Imposing martial law or a state of emergency on a state, and forcing those who resist into detention camps.

Rhodes insists his group is not antigovernment, but he and other Oath Keepers do describe the government as tyrannical and repressive.

The group hopes to raise enough money to plaster the racecar with its logo and name and the words “Defend The Constitution.”

To drive their speeding billboard around and around, the Oath Keepers have enlisted the heir to one of auto racings most accomplished families. Jeffrey Earnhardt is the 23-year-old grandson of the late Dale Earnhardt, seven-time NASCAR Cup champion. His uncle is Dale Earnhardt Jr.

“Oath Keepers are those who stepped forward, raised their hand and are willing to die to protect and defend our Constitution,” the group quotes young Earnhardt as saying. “That means everything to me and I’m honored to be a part of this.”

The group says sponsoring Earnhardt’s number 79 car is part of a “public awareness campaign” to get the message out that “our Constitution is at risk.” Oath Keepers say the television audience for the race is usually 1.5 million but should be higher with the move from being broadcast on ESPN2 to ESPN this year.

In his appeal for donations, Rhodes said he expects the Oath Keepers car will “help to spread the message about the oath to millions of Americans who may not yet be fully awake to the ongoing assault on our Bill of Rights, and the rapidly increasing destruction of our Republic.”

“You know how late the hour is,” he added. “Help us awaken the ‘Sleeping Giant.’”

Wait - so did he raise enough money already?

Wait - so did he raise enough money already?

I didn't see any confirmation on the Oath Keepers website but TaftFan posted this message from Stewart Rhodes in another thread, probably an email that was sent out.

WE DID IT! WE HIT OUR GOAL AND THEN SOME! Last count was #32,600.00 donated for our NASCAR project with Jeffrey Earnhardt, but I'll bet it goes considerably over that amount, as donations are still pouring in. Our IT staff is going to bed, so will have to wait till morning to get a final amount.

Thanks a TON to all who donated, and to all who helped us spread the word. You all made this happen, and the result will be an awesome Oath Keepers car zooming around the track on June 1. And by the way, we are designing a kick butt Oath Keepers fire-suite for Jeffrey Earnhardt to wear. Please visit his facebook page and express thanks for him stepping up and driving for us. We are truly honored. - Stewart

from the message above it says Earnhardt is going to be wearing an Oath Keepers fire suit as well.

That is Bad Ass... They did an excellent job getting the message out on that race car. Wish I was at the race this weekend. I hope Oath Keepers receive mucha coverage pre-race through post race. Be fantastic if Earnhart WINS. Don't forget to notify everyone through your social media w/ hashtags #Earnhardt (fool them it's Dale )

The top 2 Gaggle search hits are RPF and those trashbags coverage @ SPLC

Once again, proves the SPLC - Simple Hate Group... Always pushing/pedaling their twisted Cultural Marxisms onto the uninformed masses. Typical creation, spewing false flags of propaganda and turning one group against another all to keep the divide among; groups/race/creeds/persuasions in America.

Wasn't their some molester running/controlling the operations at the SPLC?

I presume this is a great way to advertise Oathkeepers, while getting a solid worthwhile message out.

Can't wait to get my Oathkeepers NASCAR cap. Heh, it sort of reminds me of Jeff Burton's Caterpillar car (my favorite, aside from the AC Delco car, RIP Mr. Earnhardt Jr.) Maybe Oathkeepers coudl team up with the CAT car?

GTG! W00t

this was posted by someone on the Oath Keepers facebook page about an hour ago

Randy Oathkeeper Skipper

Pictured here is our brother in arms Darren Ellsmore who donated an associate sponsorship position on his FW1/FASTWAX.COM Mustang for the NASCAR Nationwide Race on Saturday May 4th at Talladega Super Speedway.

So I guess in addition to the full sponsorship for the June 1st race Oath Keepers will have a smaller advertisement for the May 4th race as well. Maybe Oath Keepers will clarify this when they make the official announcement.
