Dale Jr fans are some of the most loyal fans around, if you are a Dale Jr fan you already knew this. I am looking for the biggest Dale Jr fan. For tonight’s race I made a set of earrings using Dale Jr’s car colors and will give away the pair to the fan that can tell me why they are his biggest fan and why you want to win these earrings.
The winner will be picked in the final laps of tonight’s race at Bristol. Ladies just think about wearing your “lucky” Dale Jr Earrings at the next race. Guys think about the look on your girls face when you give her handmade Dale Jr inspired earrings.
Good luck!

I am the biggest Dale Jr fan because, I have been a fan of his since 1990, long before he started racing where the average fan could know about him.
I was working at the Little Cesars in Goodyear Arizona (10 miles or so from PIR) a couple of days before the fall race in Phoenix. We got a big order for pizzas and we told the guy on the phone that with an order that big we could start the prep work, but they would have to come in before we cooked them. These two guys came in the shop to pay, and started talking to us about racing and what not. Nothing new for race weekend. They talked a bit about the race, but could tell, I guess that we weren’t too into it, so the conversation turned to their kids that were our ages. This one guy talked a lot about his three kids, and how they were all into racing and how they were going to be big names one day. My co-workers and I just thought that he was just a dad that loved watching Nascar, and was just bragging on his kids.
Race day rolls around and on the TV they are interviewing Dale Sr. Still not knowing who he was, I told my dad, hey that guy came in the store the other night and all he could talk about was his kids. My dad looked at me and said you do know who he is don’t you?
Um no.
My dad explained just WHO Dale Sr was. Oops. ๐
I started following racing that weekend, and watching for Dale Jr’s name. I watched the first televised race that he was in, screamed and hollered my way through his busch days (nationwide) and have watched him every step of the way in Sprint cup. Even during the 8 years we lived in England, I watched as much as I could, and followed on the internet when I couldnt see it on tv. I know how proud his daddy was of him when he was 16, from personal experience. Which I think is the coolest. Now I am saving my pennies so that I can go to my first race in person, hopefully in Atlanta in a couple of weeks.
