Among the NASCAR power couples, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his wife Amy reign as the epitome of fun and entertainment. It is a given that Dale Jr. loves to talk generously on his podcast. But Amy’s presence in the studio brings out a side of Junior that is rarely seen or known by people. Not to mention the gem anecdotes they end up sharing.

During her latest appearance on Dale Jr. Download, Amy was asked about the most bizarre and random purchase her husband has made. No, it was neither his video game acquisitions nor the eclectic collectibles like Titanic memorabilia. It was candy, and her anecdote, as one fan put it, left Dale Jr. “blushing” on the show. 

“He tends to hide the weird stuff and I’ll find it. This goes back to feeling like another child in the house to take care of because he knows it’s something he’ll get nagged for. He just recently bought a bunch of candy that I intercepted,” shared Amy.

“He used to eat fireballs. What he did with the middle part of it was to stick it to the couch. And we didn’t find them for a very long time. Our housekeeper, she calls Sonny out. She’s like, ‘Sonny, I don’t know what this is, but there’s a bunch of tiny little white pebbles underneath the couch. And they smell like cinnamon. And Sonny starts dying laughing. He’s like, that’s a damn fireball,” added Amy.


As the story wrapped up, Dale Jr. responded with a chuckle, “Inviting Amy on might have been a mistake”.

The revelation had fans bursting with laughter. One fan commented, “Amy & Dale Jr are the perfect couple!”

Another follower noted Dale Jr.’s expressions during the reveal, pointing out, “@DaleJr Amy got you blushing like we’ve never seen before”. Meanwhile, someone else dubbed the duo, “The cutest!”

One fan praised Dale Jr.’s choice of a spouse, remarking, “@DaleJr: More Amy!! She’s a keeper!”

In the upcoming season, Dale Jr. will juggle appearances on the CARS Tour with his broadcasting commitments. He will also continue hosting the weekly podcast episodes. And, given how Amy could bring about such engaging and humorous discussions, fans would be eager to see her around in the show more often.
