If you are Dale Earnhardt Jr., this is what you do every day of your life and more so since the loss of his father on February 18, 2001. Earnhardt Jr. has really lived his life in a “fish bowl.” It has to be tough growing up and having every form of news media watch your every move. I relate Earnhardt Jr. to the life that Elvis Presley lived. Every move Elvis made was watched till he left this world. Of course we have nut cases who say he is still alive. Who knows, perhaps he did to get away from the crazies and staged his own death.
I have followed Earnhardt Jr. since his career began when his uncle Tony Eury Sr. talked his Daddy into putting him into at that time, a Busch Series car. Dale Sr was wanting to get started in that series with a driver. It turned out to be a good move for sure. Earnhardt Jr. went on to win races and Busch Championships. But as fate would have it, Earnhardt Jr. was moved up to what was known back then as the Winston Cup Series, the wonderful Winston Cup years. What a sponsor Earnhardt Jr. had with Budweiser in that red and white number 8.
The only thing that really irritates me are the things said over the years about any female relationship Earnhardt Jr. might have become involved with. When he did he kept them well hidden except to family and those he could trust. I have read some about Amy since he brought her to the awards banquet last season, it’s sad. Just like I said, living your life in a “fish bowl.” To the females making the comments and negative as they are, no one will ever be good enough in your eyes for Earnhardt Jr. to have a permanent relationship with. But I think that is for him alone to decide.
Every female in your words will be after his fame or money, no matter who they are. Let things be. Let Earnhardt Jr. and Amy be alone and enjoy their lives together. They may or may not marry one day, it’s not for a fan to decide. It’s really nice to hear Earnhardt Jr. say “she is a real nice girl.” It’s nice to read where he makes comments about Amy’s little Pomeranian to every race with a smile and stand next to him during the pre-race ceremonies.
Stop blaming everything that goes wrong on Amy. I have a good friend who sends me articles she reads on sites almost everyday that is said about Amy blaming Jr not winning race to blown up engines on her. You people have got to be crazy to say some of the things you do to keep Earnhardt Jr. from being happy and for once in his life, truly happy. It takes a strong woman who can deal with all of that.
Amy just might be the right one to jump in and handle all of it because of one word, true love. She has been in there with him for a long time now and handled all that the media and jealous female fans. I am happy for both of them and I truly hope this relationship lasts. For myself, Earnhardt Jr. appears to be truly happy in his personal life and that counts more than winning a race.
I do not understand how people can continue to over look how this relationship started. The proof is out there, pics, court documents and eye witness accounts.
I witness with my own eyes Dale kissing Amy at Whiskey River back in Oct 2008. Court documents prove that a petition for divorce was filed in Nov 2008, Dec 2008 Amy is off on the family vacation & Jan/Feb 2009 the divorce is final. The truth is out there.
I am sure there are girls who are jealous. I for one would have been for this relationship if she was already divorce. I am old fashion you are married until death do you part or a judge says the end.
I personally think Dale and Amy are perfect for each other. They both lie, cheat and steal.
It’s kind of hard to take this article seriously… when it is so flawed right from the start …”since the lose of his father ” didn’t the writer mean to use the word “loss”? Sorry if I took this as a legitimate writing article but writing style kept getting in the way of intent of the story. As to the story — I think Dale’s fans get over-involved in his personal life because they think it is a reflection of his decision making skills, his character, and they believe that his relationships have some impact on his image and the team’s ability to obtain sponsorship. The National Enquirer article certainly was not in his best interest. Most fans don’t really care about his personal life but unfortunately the only major (print) attention that this realtionship has drawn has been negative.
I Agree people need to leave Dale and Amy alone! and those jealous women at Talk sports.com really need to get a life!
This is Dale and Amy decision not ours to make for them, shine on Amy shine on girl<3
I am not surprised that people bash Amy. The rumors of her cheating and dumping her husband for a fat wallet has been going around for years. And it’s not just the female fans that are calling her names. Go check out other sites and you have just as many men calling her a gold digger.
It’s not that fans don’t want to see Jr with someone but it’s this girls past that is the cause of all the fuss. Period.
Exactly who this article was written for. The jealous women who like to spread lies about her. Scurry back to your fellow haters on TS
What is TS? And I’m not a hater. Just stating facts that the author left out. It is what it is.
What in the world is TS? I’m not a hater. It is what it is.
What a great story, Becky. I totally agree with you. I know Dale is a favorite with his fans, but they really should leave him alone in his private life and let him and Amy enjoy it together. I hope they will have a long and great relationship.
Becky I to am a fan of Dale Jr. He is out in the light and every little move he does the media is right there. Yes the female fans and not his fans have cut Amy down, his other relationship to. They don’t walk hand and hand together going to pit road or show their affection with each other. But they are probably not the mushy type either like some of the other drivers wives or girlfriends. Yes Dale is in a fish bowel and I hope that they both can keep going over the hump with the not so nice fans, I will be Dale Jr. fan for a long time.
