Dale Earnhardt Jr., a name synonymous with NASCAR, is well known for his friendly nature and fascinating anecdotes. In a recent episode of his podcast, he shared an intriguing story involving one of his friends who found themselves nursing a severe hangover thanks to a peculiar drink of choice: – Espresso Martinis.

Dale Jr.‘s close friend, Tim Dugger, happens to be a country music singer with roots tracing back to the ’90s. Junior has talked about him in the past as well on his podcast. And whenever you hear Dale Earnhardt Jr. bring up one of his friends to share a story, you know that you’re in for a good one. And this one was no different.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. reckons Tim Dugger doesn’t know he can enjoy the espresso without the Martini

Now, the way Junior described it, it’s hard to miss that Dugger has a penchant for the rather sophisticated espresso martini. A cocktail that combines espresso, coffee liqueur, and vodka. In this concoction, espresso takes center stage, providing a caffeine kick to complement the alcohol. However, Dale Jr. couldn’t help but share a humorous incident related to Dugger’s fondness for this particular libation.

Speaking about his friend’s recent Vegas escapade, Dale Jr. revealed, “This past week he [Tim Dugger] got a pretty bad hangover in Vegas. He said he drank 8 espresso martinis, 8! And so Tim Dugger gets tired, he drinks beer, he gets a little ‘beered’ out, right?” Dale Jr’s sister Kelly chimes in saying, “I just can’t see him drinking Expresso Martini.“

Amidst the laughter, Junior offered an amusing insight into Dugger’s espresso preferences. “Well, I think, having talked to him… that he doesn’t know that you can get the espresso by itself. He thinks that the only way to enjoy espresso is an Espresso Martini.”

Dale Jr., known for his love of coffee, couldn’t help but quip, “And I am like, dude, I drink coffee without… and he’s like, I don’t drink coffee. And I am like that’s what espresso is. Yeah, I am probably going to get some backlash because hardcore espresso fans are gonna be like it’s not coffee. But I just wanted to give a short message to Tim Dugger and anyone else out there who is confused. You don’t have to drink espresso martinis to enjoy espresso.”

Back in the day, jukeboxes were limited by the number of CDs or records they could hold. But with Touch Tunes, music enthusiasts have access to a vast library at their fingertips. The twist is that it can be operated through a smartphone, eliminating the need to leave one’s seat at the bar.

Dale Jr. enjoys playing pranks on his friends, particularly when he discovers they are out enjoying themselves. He recalled another incident with his country singer friend, Tim Dugger, who had attempted to prank Dale when he knew he was at a bar. Dugger remotely hijacked the Touch Tunes and chose the 1980s hit “She Drives Me Crazy” by the Fine Young Cannibals, thinking it would disrupt the ambiance.

However, Dale Jr. was quick to reveal that he is no stranger to this mischievous game. He admitted that he, too, uses TouchTunes to have some fun with his friends, and described how he would change the music, saying, “He’ll [Tim] be at Batter’s Box in Nashville at 11:00, pounding beers, listening to Bocephus, or whatever they’re listening to, just going Nashville hard, and I’ll play ’em some Celine Dion, a little Barry Manilow. And you can’t change it. There’s nothing they can do but sit there and let it play.“
