Dale Earnhart Sr, a name synonymous with the legends of stock car racing, has, in many instances, proved himself to be a dominant force in the realm of NASCAR. Not only his opponents but also his son, Dale Jr, felt intimidated at some point or another, which Junior never fails to express. This time, however, amidst the 2023 NASCAR Awards ceremony, a renowned columnist put forth a question in front of Dale Jr about an instance when, around 32 years ago, his father, the NASCAR legend came home with a broken hand, that too on an Awards ceremony night.

Junior unfolds an unforgettable instance from the 1990 Awards 

Dale Jr and his wife Amy were present at the 2023 NASCAR Awards Banquet when NASCAR writer Steven Taranto asked the legendary racer a question. He asked, “When your dad accepted the Winston Cup Championship in 1990, he apparently had broken his right hand because he kicked a guy’s a** for hunting. Do you remember that? What is that story?”

It took no time for Junior to ponder back 32 long years and unveil, “When he came home from that night and he broke his bone on the side of his hand, from his wrist to his pinky. The bone was almost sticking through the skin. He drove home and he walks in the house.”

Not only Dale Jr but Senior’s then-wife, Teresa Earnhardt was unable to register what had just happened as Junior expressed, “Teresa’s like what’s going on?” However, he mentioned that his father replied to Teresa like it’s just a small injury that can happen to anyone and said, “He’s like, hey I broke my hand.”

Earnhardt Jr revealed, “A guy has been working on his property on a tractor or something like that, in the afternoon, and he saw some deer, and then went home or went to a bar, went somewhere, got talking to a friend. So they came and jumped the fence or they shot the deer through the fence then jump the fence.”

As the intimidator and his property manager were on the land discussing something, what they saw blew their minds: a deer running by them and falling due to getting shot. Dale Jr revealed that “Dad and the property manager hid in the woods until the guys came that had the gun and dad just chased after the one with the gun and kept him there for the police to come and apparently punched him a few times.”
