Seven years after retiring from NASCAR Cup Series racing, Dale Earnhardt Jr. still carries some of his racing habits with him, causing some quirky moments in his everyday life with his wife Amy. The couple, who met in 2009 when Amy was designing Dale Jr.’s home, have faced challenges, but their bond has grown stronger through therapy and open communication.
In a recent episode of their podcast, Amy shared her annoyance with Dale Jr.’s habit of leaving crumbs on the floor while eating snacks. Dale Jr. then revealed his wild routine before meeting Amy, which included eating one big meal at 2 o’clock, staying up late playing video games, and smoking cigarettes.
Although Dale Jr. tried to revamp his lifestyle for better race performance during his time at Hendrick Motorsports, he found that abstaining from drinking did not improve his results. Despite his unconventional habits, Dale Jr. formed a deep friendship with fellow driver Martin Truex Jr., with the two spending long nights playing video games and bonding over their love of racing.
While Amy may be flabbergasted by some of Dale Jr.’s habits, their relationship continues to thrive, showcasing their ability to adjust and inspire others. From winning races in unique ways to forming lasting friendships, Dale Jr.’s life off the racetrack is just as entertaining as his time on the track.
