Ever wonder where Dale Earnhardt Jr learned to drive?

In my humble opinion, Dale Earnhardt could have won races in a pinto. He was a very talented driver. Yes, Dale Jr. did learn a lot from his Dad. Not only about driving, but also how not to forget who he was or where his roots were. His Father was not only a great race car driver, he was a great man. He had heart, and he never let fame and fortune take that from him. ~ R.P.
 
 
Dale Sr could drive any car even the crap that DEI was putting out there in the 07 season for Jr to drive.  I think Jr. learned a lot from Sr., I just wish he could get away with using some of those moves in NASCAR today, unfortunately I don't think Sr. would like the NASCAR of today with their rules and infractions, etc. ~ M.W.
 
 
Yes I think he learned a lot from His Dad which was the best of the best. ~ H.B.
 
 
Its Like What Dale Sr once said to Junior   "Son, I’ve taught you everything you know, but I Haven’t taught you everything I Know." The Man who they say could "See the Air" was a great teacher & had a great student in dale Jr. Oh that Earnhardt "Side Draft," Wow! ~ “Bobby A" Crestline, Ca.
 
 
If things were more like they were back when #3 was racing, yes, Jr. could do it. He had a good teacher, but the rules have changed---- We love Jr. Can't wait for 08 and 88! ~ J.P.
 
 
Now that's racin'...Hopefully we will be able to see that exciting racin’ this season, and Dale Jr. will be able to show us what his Daddy taught him - but in his own style. Go 88. ~ S.T.
 
 
I've been a Dale Sr. fan since the 70's and a Jr. Fan since his first race. I must admit that I have often wondered if he's as good as his Dad. I see definite similarities in driving skills and attitude. Now that he will have the equipment and support he needs in '08 we'll find out. It's either gonna be history or heartbreak. Time will tell. ~ Wild Bill
 
 
Hell yea wait till 08 he will be all amped up and with the guard on his side he can not lose. ~ P.M.
 
 
Dale Earnhardt could Jr. can't. ~ A.M.
 
 
There is no doubt has the ability that his father had. We will see that in the future. This will be the year that he gets it done and brings a Nextel cup title home. He will be a force to be reckoned with. He is a true champion. He will up hold his name and keep his father alive. ~ M.C.
 
 
I feel Dale Sr was an exceptional driver. He had heart and soul for racing. Jr did learn a lot from his father. Not only how to race but also how to be the man that he has become today. Jr also has the heart and soul for racing. He enjoys the fame and fortune but Jr also remembers where he came from and will never forget that. He's a very nice and down to earth person who was lucky to have the ability and chance to drive a racecar. A lot of people say that Jr is only where he is today because he rode on his father's name sake and coattails, but I feel Jr has proved that he is a great racer on his own merits not just because his name is Earnhardt. ~ Kim
 
 
Wow that was the good ole days watching the video. I think Jr is his own man and has his own driving style. Why would you want Junior to be like Dale Sr? There is only one Dale Sr and no one will ever take his place. I love Dale Jr and he will be just fine. Go 88! ~ Helen
