Dale Earnhardt Jr. received a new contract Tuesday - just not the one he wants.

Lowe's Motor Speedway president Humpy Wheeler presented Earnhardt with a "Big Contract," poking fun at Junior's ongoing contract negotiations, during an appearance to reminisce about his 2000 all-star race win.

The contract offered Earnhardt Jr. .51 percent of LMS if Junior agreed to drive the tram, teach Victory Lane etiquette, be the pre-race musical act and serve as the track owner's personal chauffeur.Dale Earnhardt Jr. received a new contract Tuesday - just not the one he wants.
