Dale Jr. Download: Isla's First Go-Kart

[@lowcountryantiques3696]

I have watched Jr. grow up from a little boy to a great father...

[@waynenorbreyjr9371]

Her saying that "can we go to the race track?" Lol!

[@TheNyarcangel]

You know Papa Dale and Grandpa Ralph were right there smiling

[@FloridaManRacer]

Dale is being the best kind of parent. He introduced her to something he finds passion in, but didn't force her into anything. Guy impresses me in so many facets of life. Not because he's a stubborn race car driver being patient with his kids. But frankly, because losing your dad that young, you have a LOT of questions about life and how to live it that can't be answered by the one person you want to hear that advice from the very most. To get life this right after going through that, I can't help but be in awe of the man Dale is. There's ZERO possibility his dad is in any way disappointed with him.

[@chriswebster24]

I agree. I’ve also always been impressed with how down to earth and humble he is. Despite all the money and fame and everything else he still just seems like a regular guy. It’s funny because people used to say that the only reason he had so many fans is because of who his daddy was. I’m not saying that didn’t make a big difference in the beginning, because it definitely did, then, but the reason he maintained the amount of fans he did, and added so many more over the years, was all because of him. I wasn’t too much of a NASCAR fan when his dad was racing, but I really got into it big, soon after that. I wasn’t sure who to pull for at first, and I had to decide who my favorite driver was gonna be. I told myself it could be anybody besides Jr. He had more fans than anyone, and I didn’t want to be like everybody else. The more and more I watched and got into it, the harder it got for me, because it became more obvious each week that Dale Jr. was simply the coolest guy out there, and it really wasn’t even close. Finally, I just decided that there wasn’t any sense in trying to pretend like I liked someone else better, just because his name wasn’t Dale Jr. I realized something that I think a lot of people who don’t watch NASCAR don’t understand. Jr didn’t have all those fans for all that time because of his daddy. Jr was the most popular driver, year after year, because of Jr. His personality jmade it impossible not to like him.

[@FloridaManRacer]

@@chriswebster24 100% accurate. I'm not one to fanboy about anything or anyone, but then again, I'm not going to deny that the guy hasn't taught me a few things to re-evaluate in my life because of the way he handles his adversities. Sure the guy has money, and that can solve a lot of problems. But it doesn't teach you how to be a good family man and make the tough decisions in life.

[@mikeyoungblood1642]

And he is a sensitive guy so he is the perfect guy to be a dad of two little girls

[@SyedIAhmed-wi3jm]

@@mikeyoungblood1642 idk what this comment is trying to mean, but nothing but respect towards any father of daughters. Seeing all that a girl or a woman has to go thru later in life, especially with society in general, I imagine they eventually turn into people you fear the most. Ain’t no crossing a pissed off dad.

[@55_Ford_F·250_LB]

I mean according to a ESPN movie of Dale Earnhardt senior's life he had Dale Jr and his sis go-karts

[@Tunda2]

Amazing how humble Junior is.

[@robertstone9988]

Watching an Earnhardt get their first set of wheels is like watching a duckling take to the water for the first time.

[@kerryflatt5391]

Is there anybody anywhere, regardless of their financial situation, more down to earth than Dale Jr?

[@alwaysopen7970]

I don't think of him being a multi millionaire; just Dale, the little kid you saw with his dad in winner's circle.

[@blakelygober4241]

Her little voice, Let's go to the racetrack. LOVE IT

[@jonathandye5950]

Being a father of a little girl makes your heart melt. Don't worry about what everybody else says or thinks. If you feel comfortable an think the little one can manage it, then why not.

[@Angel35851]

Junebug, please don't think we don't want to see the kids often because we do. It's a privilege. This was one of the cutest things I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing. 😁❤🏁

[@BusGreaseMonkey]

Omg she was is so cute…Great story. It really shows you how a little piece of life shared on social media doesn’t really tell the whole true story. In my mind she was out drifting around the driveway circle until the battery was dead.

[@carolinagirl7596]

I love these father-daughter interactions. Dale Jr. is such a great dad. Little Isla is gonna be a daredevil, if she isn’t already.

[@rowdyreviews6530]

Dale Jr, I am with Mike on this one lol! The bouncy house needs to be driven too lol!!!! Freaking priceless!!!!! Or you can do as I did when my kiddo was little, put a 18 volt cordless drill battery in it and when she hits the gas will do 360s until she lets off!!! .Dale Jr, I admire your fathering skills, your gonna the the one that little girl always comes too when she needs to talk or with problems and she will know she can talk to you about anything and everything and your gonna have her back no matter what comes up!! So important for a kid and adult to have that person in there life! My kid is 12.years old already and it's been mostly him and I sice he turned 3 years old, he is as much my best friend as he is my son and he might not.realize it but as much as he has needed me growing up I also needed him just as much!!!! Sometimes.whem your dreams just don't work out god sends you a purpose and a reason to look forward to whatever it is you have to do in life because at the end of the day that smile from your kid can fix or change your mood in such a huge way and for myself that just means everything and even if I am not doing what I love being a dad and home every evening to spend with him makes me thankful and love what I am doing!! Much respect!!

[@jordany7018]

“So cool” lol sounds just like daddy !!

[@JSkunk3223]

Welcome to fatherhood Dale Jr. it will make any man a better man if they have the love patience and the will to learn and accept their kids and the time line of teaching them things. I can assure you, they do not always follow our passions but will always follow on our foot steps.

[@varmint243davev7]

Dale Jr. has it exactly right. Don't push them, let them find their own way. I tried to push my boy and it just causes frustration for everyone involved.

[@3r7h130undx]

I was totally prepared to work my ass off to put my youngest in a kart and support his journey to racing from a super early age. But the older he got the more he was uninterested. It sucks, id love nothing more than to see one of my kids running something on a track somewhere, but it just wasn't in the cards. The all find their own way

[@varmint243davev7]

@@3r7h130undx My boy wants to write books. They are their own person.

[@3r7h130undx]

@@varmint243davev7 one kid wants to be a quarterback, the other a scientist or restaurant owner haha. Ill support whatever they wanna do. I suppose it's just out of my dream of being a driver never fully coming to fruition (had a semi pro go-kart deal at one point) that I was trying to project that on them in some fashion. Now I'm just happy that they have aspirations in life. Its weird being a parent sometimes.

[@varmint243davev7]

@@3r7h130undx I was heavily involved in SCCA road racing. Worked in a race shop for a couple years, was crew chief for a three time national champion. My boy liked to drive carts and then they closed the track and moved the operation way far out of range. He doesn't like to work on anything with his hands. He doesn't know what end of a wrench or screwdriver to pick up. It's just not who he is. It shouldn't be a struggle for me to accept, but I would be lying if I said it wasn't some times. He just graduated college and I have no doubt he will end up being great at something.

[@3r7h130undx]

@@varmint243davev7 yeah its kinda hard for me too at times. I take them to the track and turn laps with him, he loves riding, just not driving. Its hard at times when i know id d drop all my hobbies and collections to turn wrenches and struggle for this guys racing career if he'd ever want one. Just saddens me sometimes that ill never have that opportunity. But, hes a smart kid and I know he will be successful in whatever he does so im not worried about it at all. I'd love nothing more than to struggle in the mud at the local dirt track and wrenching on his late model, but as long as he's successful, I'm happy

[@kelseyyarbrough8685]

I’m not gonna lie back in 2008 I was a big Kyle Busch fan and I was at the second Richmond race that year. At that time I was kinda bummed about what happened that day but through the years and listening to this series and seeing how Dale is just a genuine person especially with things like this makes me realize just how awesome he is. Thank you Dale for doing this show. I listen to it every week when I’m out mowing the grass.

[@mikestiehl3385]

Dale, don't worry for one second about showing off your amazing life. You earned it.

[@lucky-rowe2623]

Dale you have to post stuff like this. For many of us you are like our family and we love seeing this. Let's go to the race track!!!! Best Wishes from Boise, Idaho.

[@carolineattaway4388]

She's adorable. You all are so blessed. She will get the hang of it. We gave our grandson a F150 Ford motorized truck for his 3rd and he was fine at first. But eventually he caught on. When she does, it will be a blast. Blessings wished for your family!!!!! Caroline

[@oldhippie2316]

Wow, Isla is growing so fast!

[@joshuafarmer3467]

I love this!!!! isla is adorable and Jr did a great job with the helmet and buckling her in. She said, "Can we go to the racetrack?" And I love the fact she is wearing a cute dress. You go, Jr!!!!! Isla's "pass in the grass!" lolololol I am a Farmer. haha. She'll be on it again and in 20 years, she will be destroying other racers like Kelley did in late models. A flute is awesome because music will make her smarter. Lol Mike Davis says "you are pretty cheap."

Just think where Jr's life would be now. If not for meeting Amy. Amy done things for Jr. That his Papa tried doing for many years. And that was to grow up to become even just a lil' more mature with his Important Priorties of Life. Sr would definitely Love, Love, Love Amy. No doubt in my mind. And HE Would be Very Very Proud of Jr. And the Family Man he's become. She helped him to become the Man his Daddy always hoped he'd be, But still allowing him to be the Wild Kid he used to be. Only with a lil restraint from time to time. I Would Like to Thank Amy for doing this for Dale Jr and his family. And for Us, the Fans. His extended family.

No joke, had to buy new tires for it, cause he worn the fronts & one rear completely out! 😁 Dale's beautiful little girl will either take to it, or won't, it ain't for everybody. She has alotta time to grow & maybe gravitate towards it 😉👍

I gave my great nephew a replica of a mustang that was a Electric car when he was 3yrs old for Xmas n at 3 he needed to be taught to drive. In fact he said to me that I needed to teach him to drive. In my opinion it was easier to teach him to drive n steer the car vrs. Him learning to do it all by himself and safer in my opinion. plus now that he's a teenager he likes to say he learned to drive at 3yrs old.
