Dale Earnhardt Jr. for Your Event
His career began meekly, as he and
brother Kerry sold a go-kart for
$500 so that they could by an old
Monte Carlo racecar for $200. Legend
has it that Junior later sold that
car to current Busch Series driver
Hank Parker Jr.
Earnhardt Jr. took his first green
flag at the Concord Speedway in the
street stock division at the age of
17. He garnered three feature
victories from 1994-96. Just two
years later, Earnhardt Jr. dominated
the Busch Series, winning 13 races
and two series championships in
1998-99. His first title in 1998
made him the first third-generation
NASCAR champion, joining father Dale
Sr. and grandfather Ralph. His
maternal grandfather, Robert Gee,
was a well-known NASCAR fabricator
and mechanic.
Junior wasted no time making an
impact in NASCAR's elite series when
he entered in 2000. He won at Texas
in his 12th career start and at
Richmond in his 16th start. He also
became the first rookie to win
NASCAR's all-star race at Lowe's
Motor Speedway.
It
also didn't take long for Junior to
become the unofficial poster boy of
the sport. He's appeared on
countless magazine covers, numerous
television talk shows and was the
focus of two MTV documentaries:
“Cribs” and “True Life, I’m a Race
Car Driver.”
Junior is also a co-owner of "Chance
2 Motorsports," a Busch Series race
team.
