In the past few days, we have discovered a lot of new things about NASCAR veteran Dale Earnhardt Jr. Thanks to the Paris Olympics, the NASCAR veteran found some other subjects to talk about. And, the courtesy goes to his wife, Amy Earnhardt, for revealing all his secrets on the Dale Jr. Download podcast. Be it his weird obsession with candies, which he hides from his wife, his several superstitious beliefs, or his impulsive purchase of an expensive houseboat.

Recently, a photo has surfaced on the internet of Dale Earnhardt Jr. posing with a monster truck. Shocking, right?

Do you remember the monster truck story of Kevin Harvick? In 2021, his son Keelan arranged a Father’s Day surprise for Harvick. He surprised the NASCAR champion as he brought a monster truck for him featured on the Grave Digger. This was made possible as Harvick’s team has secured sponsorship from Feld Entertainment for its Monster Jam motorsports series, where Kelan participated. A surprised Harvick had said, “It’s THE monster truck.” Now, another monster truck story is doing the rounds on the internet.

Paul Shafer Motorsports, a team that participates in Monster Jam World, has built the monster truck that is seen in the photo. The truck was never ridden in any monster truck completion. The photo circulating on the internet doesn’t show the full picture, quite literally, it’s cropped a little. Upon evoking the Sherlock in us, we found some more photos where what appears to be going on is a photoshoot for the Paul Shafer monster truck. And Dale Earnhardt Jr. is seen modeling for it.

The confusion of the ownership of the truck is still a question. Because If you carefully see the image, the initials ‘JR’ have been painted on the door. It could mean that the truck created by PSM was inspired by Dale Earnhardt Jr. or maybe made as a tribute to him. If he had owned it, the driver in him wouldn’t have allowed him to just keep it parked. Here’s another photo of the same truck:
