Amy Earnhardt, wife of NASCAR icon Dale Earnhardt Jr, shared a touching birthday post on the eve of their elder daughter’s birthday. The couple got married back in 2016, and since then has been blessed with two daughters. However, for the time being, the star of the show is Isla, who missed sharing her birthday with her iconic grandfather, Dale Earnhardt Sr. by one day—and she has just turned six.

Amy took to Instagram and shared pictures of Isla’s birthday celebration. She looked absolutely adorable in her birthday attire and looked like a little princess. “Happy 6th Birthday to our tiny babe! I thank God every day for giving me such a sweet, headstrong and amazing girl!” Amy Earnhardt wrote in the caption.

It wasn’t just her showering her with the wishes. Denny Hamlin’s partner, Jordan Fish, seemed to be in awe of the cute pictures as she commented, “These little pics 😍😍😍”.

But what’s even more heartwarming is how the Earnhardt family fans also turned up in great numbers and reacted to Isla’s birthday post with their sweet messages.

Dale Jr’s daughter is more like her dad than you’d think, and fans’ comments couldn’t be more true

One admirer wrote, “Happy Birthday sweet girl! Hard to believe you are six! Boy do you look like your Daddy!” However, it seems Isla doesn’t just resemble her third-generation driver-father, but also embodies him. In the past, the two-time Daytona 500 champion revealed how Isla would not take her father’s racing failures lightly, much like his own reaction to his father Dale Earnhardt’s losses. Talking about an instance where he had to exit the car early, Dale Jr talked about Isla’s response, sharing, “(Isla) was sad that we didn’t win the race.”

Interesting fact: Isla shares her birthday with the former NASCAR driver, Elliott Sadler. This was brought to notice by a fan. “Awwww!!! Happy birthday sweet girl!!! She shares her birthday with Elliott Sadler (mine too!)”

Born on April 30, 2018, the little girl is quite like a grownup now, often seen choosing books. In fact, the couple’s first-born is reportedly a first grader now and even had an adorable daddy-daughter dance, just a few months back! Naturally, most users were surprised to see Isla grow up so quickly as one fan shared, “Happy birthday Isla!!! We love you!! “Baby Isla” isn’t a baby anymore and it makes me sad!!”

A fellow parent and a fan insisted that both Dale Jr and Amy cherish these moments as they are short-lived, never to come by again. “Happy birthday young lady,cherish the moments Mom and dad..it goes fast😏”. Having said that, Dale Junior seems like a great father. However, there is one hilarious thing that often gets on his nerves. In a questionnaire session with The Athletic, Junior shared how the cartoon series ‘Bluey’ is a big part of their household. Reportedly, the daughters, and especially Isla, often have constant demands from her father, just like Bluey and her old man.

And, while Earnhardt Jr doesn’t like how the animated blue heeler puppy is seeing unrealistic expectations for kids, he never fails to comply with his little girl’s requests, either. Now, that’s what we call being a great dad, isn’t it?

Having celebrated his baby girl’s sixth birthday, Dale Jr will be focusing on the zMAX CARS Tour race week at North Wilkesboro Speedway as his next assignment. Although not as a competitor but as a leader and custodian, after taking over the ownership of the series last year.
