US NASCAR Star Dale Earnhardt Jr Pops into Hooters Mermaid Beach Restaurants and Sports Bar

Jan. 12, 2008 - PRLog -- Earnhardt Jr, son of seven-time NASCAR champion Dale Earnhardt who was killed in 2001 in the Daytona 500, is in his eighth season of the NASCAR Nextel Cup driving for #8 Budweiser Chevrolet.

Earnhardt Jr is a big Hooters fan and received a warm welcome from the local Hooters Girls at Hooters Mermaid Beach on the Gold Coast. Having judged at the Hooters International Swimsuit Pageant in Las Vegas two years in a row, Earnhardt Jr is no stranger to gorgeous international Hooters Girls and has a strong relationship with Hooters of America who are the title sponsor of the USAR Hooters Pro Cup Series.

“We were surprised but very pleased by Dale’s surprise visit, but with his strong Hooters ties he couldn’t resist popping in and sampling Hooters Aussie style.  It was like a home from home for him and he was happy to have his photos taken with our Australian Hooters Girls” said Duncan Lockie Manager of Hooters Mermaid Beach.

Earnhardt Jr is currently nearing the end of a two week holiday in Australia, having made a surprise visit to the final round of the V8 championship in Philip Island earlier this month and has been overwhelmed by the Australian hospitality.
