Clint Bowyer is a legend, be it on the track or off it. The 2019 episode of The Dale Jr Download in question starred both the legendary NASCAR drivers, Bowyer and Dale Earnhardt Jr. However, what’s much more interesting than the incredibly fun episode is that Dale Jr forgot to keep a promise he made publicly.

Unfortunately, the two of them talked a lot about beer and partying in the episode, but no beers were actually consumed. Although the fans were too busy enjoying the off-track anecdotes shared by them, Clint Bowyer did not forget about the beer shotgun he was invited to. 

After the episode, Bowyer made sure to call out Earnhardt Jr on Twitter. In the short video, Bowyer can be seen shotgunning a Miller Lite on a Thursday afternoon. He said; “Hey Junior! Finally found somebody man enough to shotgun a beer with me. Easy you in on that radio deal you are doing. Thanks a lot. (Drinks Beer) Come on man!”  

Dale Earnhardt Jr couldn’t believe that Bowyer called him out publicly. So he replied in the comment section.

And within 40 minutes, the NASCAR Hall of Famer posted his epic reply. With a Budweiser in hand, Earnhardt Jr said; “Alright! I got you Clint. I ain’t on vacation but I’ll shotgun beer with you today. (Drinks Beer) Enjoy your day man!”

The fans were glad to see their two favorite NASCAR race drivers pull each other’s legs.

And to add fuel to the fire, Bowyer’s phone was dead. And this made him feel like he was in jail. He thought there was no way to escape from Earnhardt Jr’s house. However, fortunately, he soon escaped. He revealed; “Finally, thank God, for the love of God, a landscaper comes walking by and I’m beating on the door, like ‘Hey! Hey!’ on the window. He’s looking at me, ‘What?’ He comes over and opens the door and I’ve been released like I escaped jail.”
