There that comes out of Alabama, other than college football, that makes you say “Hell yeah.” But hell yeah, the Alabama governor declared this Sunday as “Dale Earnhardt Jr. Day” across the entire state. Get your and your Mountain Dew beer hats ready, y’all, because it’s time to celebrate.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Day will officially be Oct. 15 of this year, the same day that Earnhardt will run his final race at Alabama’s Talladega Superspeedway as a full-time Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver. Earnhardt in the Cup Series at Talladega, and a large portion of NASCAR land would probably love for him to make it seven on his own, newfound Alabama holiday.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey decided to make this Sunday Jr. Day, and she’ll also be the grand marshal for the Talladega race this weekend. Here’s what she said about Earnhardt, as quoted by :

“Nowhere else in the world are there more Dale Earnhardt Jr. fans than in the state of Alabama,” Ivey said. “He has always made it clear of his love for Talladega Superspeedway and the millions of fans that lay claim to him as their favorite NASCAR driver. He has been an impressive, positive role model for so many and we are proud to honor him this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway, but also across the entire state.”

Throw on your cleanest No. 88 shirt and . Don’t get a tattoo of Dale’s face unless you’re sober. And remember, if you get into some silly argument with someone who says you’re not as big of a Dale fan as they are, his real name is Ralph. That’ll show them.

And most importantly, hope that what may be Earnhardt’s final time around Talladega than his last Daytona International Speedway race did over the summer.
