| US star Dale Earnhardt Jr guest at Phillip Island | | 2007-12-04 00:35:58 | | Stephen OttleyDecember 03, 2007 12:00amAMERICA'S biggest motor sport star, Dale Earnhardt Jr, was the guest of honour at Phillip Island yesterday.Earnhardt is the most popular driver in NASCAR racing and earns more money than the entire V8 Supercar field combined.Sports Illustrated magazine estimated his 2007 earnings at more than $50 million.But unlike the media circus that surrounded David Beckham's recent visit to Australia, Earnhardt was able to slip under the radar.The only people clamouring to meet the racing celebrity were the V8 Supercar drivers and team managers as he walked down pit lane.The 33-year-old is the son of Dale Earnhardt, NASCAR's answer to Peter Brock, and has won 17 races in his career including the 2004 Daytona 500.The American had a close look at the cars and was impressed with the technology and craftsmanship. "I didn't anticipate the cars to have so much preparation because they race them so hard," Earnhardt said.Having just signed a multi-million dollar deal with NASCAR's leading team, Hendrick Motorsport, Earnhardt is highly unlikely to quit any time soon but admitted he would like to try his hand at V8 Supercars."In a perfect world, I would come and race in the V8 series for a year and I would enjoy it," he said.Earnhardt was full of praise for Australian NASCAR star Marcos Ambrose, although he admitted some of the Tasmanian's former V8 Supercar rivals might not share the same high opinion."I think he's a good guy. There might be a few guys who raced against him who might have a different opinion," he laughed.Ambrose will compete in 12 Sprint Cup races next year and Earnhardt was confident he would be competitive. "I don't know that he'll face the same challenges that a rookie or a young guy would because he's been racing a long time," Earnhardt said. "He has all the tools he needs."
