wondered if his fans liked him for him, or if they were just cheering for anyone named Earnhardt. Was he a success? Was he just the living reminder of an icon?
He searched for answers. His four straight wins at Talladega and his Daytona 500 win helped him begin to believe in himself. He noticed that people liked him, not just his father. Each moment was a step up in his five-year climb. He looked in the mirror and wanted more from life. His father had been a mogul. What was he?
“I think you get old enough to where it’s like it’s time to start acting a little more mature,” he says. “Because if you continue to keep on playing the same card, people are like, ‘Well, now not only is he not serious, but this is all he’s going to make of himself.'”
So the journey began. Several years ago, he stopped going out after Tuesday night. He took more and more control of his affairs. He invested. He refused to be just another employee of DEI. Junior and Teresa Earnhardt, Dale’s widow, had always had a complicated relationship, and soon after his dad died, he wanted it to be purely business with his stepmother.
“I think it took her a while to see that was my stance,” he says. “I really don’t go out of my way to spend a whole lot of time with her, and I rarely see her, so I think it took a while to understand, that’s how he’s gonna play it.”
Last season, he began to make drastic decisions about his racing career. He let his longtime crew go. The moment he gave his OK was a line of demarcation. He felt like his own man.
His decisions didn’t always garner results — he had a poor season last year and is in danger of missing The Chase again — but at least they were his decisions. Five years after he ran down the track, lost, he came to accept an important truth: Just because his father’s legacy would always be there, it didn’t have to define him. It’s funny. Dale Earnhardt Sr. Did exactly what he wanted. So the more Junior did things without his dad’s posthumous approval, the more like his father he became.
“There’s not a whole lot left to use as far as his experiences and his guide and what he would do,” he says. “Now, it’s like I can’t remember what he would think about this. Now I’ve got to make a decision, and if it’s f—ed up, I f—ed it up.”
