Earnhardt is 6’0″ and weighs 179 pounds. Ralph Dale Earnhardt, Jr. was born on October 10, 1974 in Kannapolis, North Carolina. Born into racing royalty, Earnhardt is the son of Dale Earnhardt, Sr., generally widely considered the greatest and most popular car driver in American history, and Brenda Lorraine. Even so, “Junior,” as he is affectionately known, didn’t start competitive racing until 17, when he started in the Street Stock division. He did attend the high performing driving school, worked at his father’s car dealership as a mechanic and earned an associate’s degree in automotive technology.

Junior made his Nationwide Series debut in 1996 and earned his victory in 1998, the same year he would win his first championship. A year later, he joined his father in the top stock car series, Sprint Cup, although he also won his second consecutive Nationwide Series Championship in 1999. In 2000, he would go to the Sprint series exclusively and scored his first victory that same year. He would continue to rack up wins for the next couple of years, and became the face of Earnhardt Racing after his father tragically died in 2001.

Since then, Junior has become the most popular driver in NASCAR. He has won the “Most Popular Driver” Award for 11 consecutive years and has amassed an impressive record, including winning the 2004 Daytona 500 and numerous others. In 2007, Earnhardt shocked many by leaving his name-sake race team and joining Hendrick Motorsports but his popularity and celebrity has continued unperturbed. Junior has had cameos in a number of movies and television shows, hosted Back in the Day, a show that looked at racing in the past, and even has radio shows.
