Tuesday night NASCAR superstar Dale Earnhardt Jr. invited the media to come and check out his new club, Whisky River in Center City’s new EpiCentre development. Dressed down in jeans and an O.A.R. tee Earnhardt Jr. fielded questions about the club, racing of course and... American Idol? Yep, after admitting that he doesn’t watch Fox News Edge or Idol a local Fox news reporter still asked Junior if he thought the next American Idol should be an American? “Well (long pause), I think they should be a citizen,” Earnhardt Jr. replied.
Still digging for some sort of scoop (or grasping for really anything at this point, the choice is yours), Mr. Fox News went on to explain the controversy surrounding the recently ousted Aussie, Michael Johns. Junior’s response: “Are they bringing foreigners over to be on American Idol?”
