Dale Earnhardt Jr. is practically the third child of the house that his wife Amy has to deal with. Without the broadcasting duties this time around, Dale Jr. has made the most of this time with his theatrics at home. A few weeks back during the Ask Amy segment of the Dale Jr. Download, she unwrapped Jr.’s obsessions with candy. And it seems like Amy has got more stories about Jr.’s shenanigans at home.
Amy often shares regular updates about the happenings inside her home. The couple have two adorable daughters, Isla and Nicole, and they are quite a handful, requiring Amy’s attention. But it seems like Dale Jr. has added to Amy’s trouble, and this time around it’s his musical taste that often leaves her frustrated.

It’s an open secret that the veteran NASCAR driver likes to jam to his favorite tunes. He is a big fan of country music and likes to listen to music legends like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Hank Williams. Not only that, Jr. is a strong supporter of punk and rock music, and Dangerous Summer is his favorite band.
However, his musical taste has left his wife Amy in a tough spot, as he likes to bump up his jam, be it morning or afternoon. “So here’s the other thing about Dale he likes to turn on Heavy Rock or something like that when he first wakes up, and for me, that’s going to send me into a rage, and that’s gonna dictate how I act all day. He’s like Yeah, let’s go; let’s go Tuesday, and I’m like, I’m gonna claw someone’s face off.” Amy shared this via Dirty Mo Media.
Dale Jr. tried to flip Amy’s complaint with his reply stating, “My go-to genre is pop punk and alternative 90s and all that stuff. I kinda crush all that in one big ball, right? If I take Amy to any concert of any of those bands, she will rock out. Have the best time, but if I turn it on at 4:00 clock in the afternoon and there’s nothing else going on, she’s like, Can we listen to something else?” Amy then argued that his husband doesn’t read the room and goes on about his business, “Dale doesn’t really read the room.”
She even shared that Dale Jr. used to bump his playlist with his entourage, but those antics have toned down since he’s become a father. “He used to play to his crowd back before kids. He would make these lists and have all, and he will play it out. Now he’s not. I call it whiny boy music, and I’m like, dang, can we go back to something a little different?”
