However, their love for speed might not be matched by people sitting beside them! And, who would blame the one sitting in the passenger seat when it’s Dale Earnhardt Jr behind the wheel?

Amy Earnhardt recently shared a glimpse of her Sunday adventures with her husband Dale Earnhardt Jr on Instagram. In the clip, Amy can be seen adorning a blue racing suit and stepping into the car with Dale. Excited to have his wife on the passenger seat, Earnhardt Jr couldn’t stop himself from celebrating the moment by clapping and hooting.
However, more than a car ride, the entire experience turned into a roller coaster ride for Amy. Explaining how exactly she felt beside Earnhardt, she wrote in her caption; “@dalejr is such a badass. I went from elated woohoo to heavy breathing then ok sis don’t puke!”

At the end of the video, Amy can be seen asking Earnhardt to stop the car with a hand gesture. After which she says; “I don’t know whether to cry or laugh, for real. (To Earnhardt) You are crazy!” And agreeing completely with everything that Amy expressed in the post, NASCAR driver Noah Gragson commented; “See it’s easy to feel like you’re going to puke!!!”
Gragson’s comment was a reference to the time he told the press that he had puked in his own helmet after the Michigan International Speedway race. In fact, this was not the first or the last time it happened.
Following his win and a similar incident at the Bristol Motor Speedway race, Gragson talked about his issue. In an episode of Dale Earnhardt Jr’s Dirty Mo Media, Gragson revealed what exactly troubled him.
Why did Dale Earnhardt Jr burst out in laughter after hearing Noah Gragson’s explanation?

While talking in an episode of Dirty Mo Media, Noah Gragson revealed that his puking issue began at the 2020 Darlington race. Moreover, he explained that it was the first race after quarantine. And his habit of drinking White Claw at that time might have triggered the issue.
He explained that during the six-week break due to Covid-19, he and his friends had nothing much to do. Hence, every day, they would drink an entire case of White Claw and hang out at someone’s house. And because of this may be the seltzers burned a hole in his stomach.
