Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I enjoy learning how to cook because I like to eat. Eating is good. Eating is fun.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I keep sour grapes in the fridge all the time. And I eat those all day long, all week long, all month. All the time.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
When you have a concussion, one of the symptoms that is common is anxiety. Imagine having the normal amount of anxieties that everybody shares - about life and meeting people in social spaces, whatever. Imagine that being multiplied by 10, 20. And so your worry over people's perceptions of you multiplies.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I like 'Man v. Food,' 'Diners Drive-ins and Dives.' 'Restaurant Impossible' is pretty good, too.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
If I were to finish my career without a title, I would certainly be disappointed. But I don't think it would be something that would eat away at me... I think I certainly would be able to live with it.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
When you're around a sport awhile and sort of get to know everybody, you start to appreciate people more instead of just seeing a number and a sponsor and a competitor.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I was way behind in my maturity. I was a 30-year-old acting like a 23-year-old. So when I was 21, I was probably acting like a 15-year-old.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Man, I was a troubled kid. I was going to get kicked out of a Christian school and got sent to military school for a year and a half, and I didn't really have much direction until I got the opportunity to drive race cars.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I get asked one question a lot: 'What celebrity encounter would render you starstruck?' The answer is simple - anyone who's ever strapped on a Redskins helmet, much less coached them to three Super Bowls.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
My role models weren't holding steering wheels and mashing gears on Sunday. They wore burgundy and gold with names like Art Monk and Darrell Green.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
My habit is to get real competitive and make racing probably more work than it is enjoyable, and I put a lot of pressure on myself, and I feel like there's pressure from the outside - it's probably not real, but it's something I imagine.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Nothing will ever feel like winning a Daytona 500. I'm never going to do anything in broadcasting, probably anything in any other professional job that will feel like winning the Daytona 500.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I grew up around it. That was what my friends were listening to - some of my closest friends are big hip-hop fans.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Normally, on the rare chance that a celebrity comes to my property, I get real nervous.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
My grandmother was a big Elvis fan, and I am, too, because she played Elvis, and she would keep me all the time when my dad was out of town.

There was this guy I used to work with, and he listened to Patsy Cline all the time, so I liked that after a while.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
People get surprised when they see you out buying a DVD at Best Buy like somebody else should be doing it for you or something! They're like, 'What are you doing your grocery shopping for?' Well, 'cause I'm starving!
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I went from thinking, 'I wonder if I can be a broadcaster. Will anybody give me a chance? Maybe I can get a shot at it,' to thinking, 'Man, I want to do this for a long time.'
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I always make things worse than they are or create problems that aren't there. And going and doing some simple task becomes a problem. I start imagining problems that aren't there. What people are going to think, who's going to judge me and am I going to be good enough? Am I worthy?
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I've done everything I ever thought I would do. I've done more than I thought I was capable of doing.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
That's one thing that frustrates me is to hear people today say I don't have passion; my heart's not in it. Man, what the hell? You can't go to 38 races in 42 weeks with your heart out of it.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
There's broadcasters that make me enjoy what I'm seeing because of their energy and how they explain what's happening and paint that picture.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
As a driver, it was easy to find the negative in things. But when I got out of the car, everything about the sport, my whole perception of just about everything in the sport, did a 180.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The 1979 Daytona 500 was awesome. It was almost like the first race that Ken Squier ever did. And so he was sort of introducing himself as well as the sport.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I didn't think I was ever going to be a Cup driver. When I was a kid, before I started racing in the Xfinity Series, I thought that I was never going to get a chance, and then, if I did, I wasn't going to run well enough to maintain that opportunity and keep progressing.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I've been able to make a lot of money and live a lifestyle that I never dreamed of. And I've been able to provide for my family.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I never thought I would ever win a Daytona 500. I never thought we would sweep Bristol. I just never thought any of that stuff was going to happen or be possible.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
To me, I feel completely, um, utterly normal. I do everything everybody else does.
Quote by -Dale Earnhardt Jr.
