Why This Is One Of Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s ‘Favorite’ Photos Of His Father
Dale Earnhardt Jr. showed his sentimental side Tuesday night.
The NASCAR legend — and Hall of Fame nominee — retweeted an old photo of his father, fellow racing icon Dale Earnhardt Sr., working on a motor in the shop behind his mother’s house.
Earnhardt Jr. explained why the photo is one of his favorites of his dad, who lost his own father a few years before the photo was taken.
“Building a motor in the shop behind Martha’s house. For me this picture is a sad one. Only a few years before, this was his dad’s shop. I see a young focused man who’s also lost at the same time. He figured it out though. He made it.”

Few things hit NASCAR fans in the feels more than vintage photos and videos of The Intimidator.
Of course, there’s nothing those fans currently want more than for the 2020 NASCAR season to restart. And, though much still can change, NASCAR reportedly has a plan in place to resume racing.
