Another Dale Jr. Blog?
I thought of something strange while watching the anthem being performed at the 600...you know, when all you see on the screen is various shots of the drivers with their wives or girlfriends (who all happen to look the same).
So anyway...I was thinking, how come we never see Dale Jr. with a girl? I think the most plausible, and thus most likely explanation, is that Dale Jr. keeps his forays with the opposite sex under tight wraps. You can imagine with his fan base the kind of scrutiny such a relationship would engender. It also doesn't hurt him to maintain an air of bachelor-hood for PR reasons.
But seriously, what's the deal? Does Dale Jr. date? Does he have an arranged marriage setup in several years? I mean...I'm not much of a Jr. fan but through the NASCAR media I feel like I know everything about the guy...except this.
Anybody know?
very interesting blog Clint. you have me thinking. no he's not funny. wink wink. I wouldn't think. but could you imagine if he did have one of the Stepford wives/girlfriends it would crush his john wayne persona. you never really saw john wayne or any of those guys with ladies either. but would you wanna be the woman all the papers and etc.. would be focused on if he did show up with them? those are just my thoughts on your topic. take them as you will. nice blog!

I think he does date women. I've read something somewhere which makes me believe this. I have to agree with you it's like the one thing we never hear about... and to our advantage! OMG, let's hope that when "she" is revealed that it's during the off-season. Can you imagine? Even worse, what if he got engaged to somebody? OMG.

Two or three years back there was a show "NASCAR drivers 360" or some such on FX. It was a reality show and they followed around drivers and you got to see what their life was like. It was a pretty cool show, I thought. Anyway, I definitely remember a show or two with Jr. segments and it kind of focused on his relationship with a new girlfriend.
And, IIRC, in a sitdown interview, either in that show or maybe on 60 minutes, he said he was pretty focused on his likes and dislikes and he wasn't much for the give and take and compromising of real (long lasting) relationships.
As an aside, I never understood why they gave up on that reality show. Never put it out on DVD or anything. Wierd. And disappointing.

Yeah, Junior definitely likes women. I think he is too focused on his driving career at this time to settle down with anyone just yet. He still has a lot to accomplish and prove. I like his comment on women in his recent cover story in ESPN the Magazine. "I want somebody who can read me like a book and is okay with half of it".
