Dale Earnhardt Jr. will also serve as an official spokesperson for Microsoft for the launch of Windows 10, which will happen on July 29. Here's what he had to say about the partnership:
"I'm a big technology user and really enjoy Microsoft products," said Earnhardt, who is NASCAR's 12-time most popular driver.
