Achieving success in NASCAR requires team effort. It is not one man’s job and that’s where relationships come in. Dale Earnhardt Jr knows it well, especially with his own experience on the tracks. While he enjoyed a good rapport with his teams and staff, his relationship status off the track had a lot of variety too.

Having seen his parents, Dale Earnhardt Sr and Brenda Lorraine get divorced early in his life, Dale Jr probably did not have the best of examples when it came to relationships. However, over time and with his experience, he learned better.

With his looks and strong NASCAR background, Junior was arguably a desirable personality at a young age. As per whosdatedwho.com, he was rumored to have dated Elizabeth Peschock, Lauren Anderson-Brignac, Marisa Miller, and Emily Maynard Johnson in the past. This is all before he met his wife Amy Earnhardt in 2009. The duo has quite the story of how their paths met.
