Dale Earnhardt Jr’s Favorite Quote
Earnhardt Likes President’s Quote
This is one of Dale Earnhardt Jr’s favorite quotes according to his page at Infield Parking. These are not Dale Jr’s words — they’re Abraham Lincoln’s. But Junior must have got a lot out of them to say this is his favorite quote.
It’s pretty patriotic and timeless — the words are as meaningful today as they were 170 years ago.
Here it is. What do you think?
At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!
All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected?
I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide. — By Abraham Lincoln — from The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln edited by Roy P. Basler, Volume I, “Address Before the Young Men’s Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois.”

Dale jr. is a smart man. not often do you find a man his age with such insight or that well read. one happy fan
If anyone can help Nascar right now it probably would be Dale Jr. He is very talented and smart. He came from a long line of Smart Men and he is carring on the Legacy.
Good Luck Dale Jr. in 09, we are behind you all the way.
P.S. You might want to look into someone else to lead you.
I THINK DALE JR IS A SMART WELL ROUNDED MAN
WHO LOVES A QUOTE FROM ONE OF OUR SMARTEST PRESIDENTS WE EVER HAD!!
I KNOW THE JR HATERS THINK HE’S JUST A DUMB
REDNECK FROM NORTH CAROLINA BUT IF YOU EVER STOP AND LISTEN TO HIM TALK YOU WILL SEE HE’S FAR FROM THAT!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR DALE JR
AND TO YOU GREG!! 
There are many smart and clever women in our world today and Dale Jr. has his pick of the litter. For one of his statue to remain single with all his choices, says Jr. is one in a trillion! Why? Because he is intelligent, fun, sporty, fantastic DNA line, great conversationalist, computer funster, successful businessman along with being our #1 NASCAR driver (he draws the crowds, including me) and the best-looking guy on planet earth. He comes across as being very sweet too.
All said here is 100% factual.
I am a nascar fan from way back. I am a true Earnhart fan because I love Nascar. At this time my favorite driver is Dale Jr. I have so many cars & other memorabilia its awesome.
Tell me what you're thinking...
