Dale Earnhardt, Jr. will be interviewing Jay-Z this Thursday, at 7:30pm ET on NASCAR Radio (ch 144) and 10:30 pm ET on XM Sports Nation (ch 143), during his XM Satellite Radio show "Dale Jr. Unrestricted."

Sound bizarre? Sure maybe, until you realize that Earnhardt stars in the video for Jay-Z's single "Show Me What You Got," which features Jay- Z, Earnhardt and Indy superstar Danica Patrick in racing around Monaco.

The two will also talk about music, careers, cars, and the upcoming video for Johnny Cash's "God's Gonna Cut You Down," which features Jay-Z, Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, and dozens of other celebrities paying tribute to the legendary Cash.

In addition to that crazy combo of personalities, Earnhardt will take phone calls on Monday, November 20th, the day after the final race of the NASCAR Nextel Series at Homestead- Miami Speedway. If you call 866-250-8535 on Monday evening from 8pm - 9pm ET you can talk to Earnhardt live on NASCAR Radio (highlights will air during his regular weekly show on November 23th).
