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?

Since when did Tuesday become Booze-day?

There were more people at Whisky River last night than there were on Saturday.

There was the soft opening on Friday, the grand opening on Saturday, and then last night was Dale Earnhardt Jr’s V.I.P grand opening. And according to my NASCAR buddy, Jr. has another V.I.P opening tonight, and then there’s another grand opening on April 17.
