In the past, when asked about being on the show, he said he wasn't interested. Apparently his stance hasn't changed. When Adam Stern posted a tweet mentioning Colin Kaepernick and Earnhardt as the DTWS producers' top choices, Earnhardt replied with a GIF, that made his feelings crystal clear.

However, we do know at least one thing Earnhardt will be doing next year, and that's working in the booth for NBC Sports. The exact start date of his NBC career is currently unknown, but NBC will be airing Super Bowl XLIX in Minneapolis. What better platform to show of your fancy new toy than the Super Bowl?
