There are celebrities who never ‘grow out’ of their image and there are celebrities that adapt to their age and phases in life. This probably explains why Dale Earnhardt Jr is just as famous in retirement as he was when he was a NASCAR driver.

Today, apart from all his entrepreneurial activities, Dale Jr’s most important role is that of a husband and a father.

And it is this role, this phase, that makes him relatable to the fans who grew up with him and are in the same phase as him. To see that even someone like him faces the same situations as an average person is a comforting thing.

Just look at his recent banter with wife Amy Earnhardt on Twitter.

Dale Jr. tweeted, “This morning: My wife has expressed to me for months I need to be more careful around the kids with cuss words. So far I’m lucky they haven’t repeated any I’ve said. Amy says “hell no” just now and Isla immediately repeated it about 15 times. Islas first cuss word wasn’t daddy’s!”

On this tweet, the current NASCAR driver reacted with a YouTube video titled – “Marriage Logic Map of ‘SHE’ is always ‘RIGHT’.”

But soon after, Amy Earnhardt raised the stakes as she replied, “Oh ok Daddy. Wanna tell the people why I said it?”

“Ok everybody into the circle of truth: I blew my nose and then offered her a kiss. I was being gross. So I guess this means the kid’s cussin is my fault. (See @keselowski tweet for reference on how to determine fault),” Earnhardt Jr made his case.

No wonder he is so popular.
