Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his wife Amy are going to show off their renovation skills on the DIY Network.

The channel announced on Tuesday the two will appear in a four-part series in early 2018. Per the news release, the couple will restore a house in Key West and transform it “into a contemporary seaside retreat.” Amy is an interior designer by trade.

“Amy is a fantastic designer. She has creative ideas and a strong work ethic. We love DIY projects around the house, so I expect this to be challenging but fun,” Junior said in a release.

The show will apparently be filmed after Earnhardt’s retirement from the Cup Series at the conclusion of the 2017 season. The release says “legions of Earnhardt fans will get some insight into just how Dale Jr. will be occupying his time now that he’s away from the track.”

Junior has said he wants to stay involved in NASCAR after his retirement. He’s currently a co-owner of JR Motorsports, which fields five cars in the Xfinity Series.
