Dale Jarrett insists he's not second-guessing his decision to retire. It won't make his last race on Saturday night any easier.

"It's difficult knowing that when I get out of the car that's the last time I'll ever compete at this level," Jarrett said Friday.

The All-Star race will mark the end of a 24-year career for Jarrett at NASCAR's highest level. The 51-year-old has run 668 points races, winning 32 times, including three Daytona 500s. Jarrett won the 1999 Cup championship.Dale Jarrett insists he's not second-guessing his decision to retire. It won't make his last race on Saturday night any easier.
