Dale Earnhardt had a stated interest in going to LeMans. He and Jr. did the Daytona 24 and came 4th in 2001 with Corvette Racing. If he had not been lost a couple of weeks later, LeMans may have likely an agenda item. I believe he had an interest in Sebring as well.
If Jr. hadn't had the fiery warm-up crash at Sonoma, he may have gone to LM at some point with Corvette to represrnt and honor his father.
