Viral Picture of Dale Earnhardt With a Toddler Chase Elliott Resurfaces Once Again; Identity of the Photographer a Big Question Once Again

Dale Earnhardt was one of the most iconic personalities in NASCAR, and “The Intimidator” was called that for many reasons. From his rough, rugged image, to his aggressively fast driving style to his seven Cup Series titles. On top of that, he was the father of NASCAR’s most popular man, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Although, a good deal of NASCAR fans might not see Earnhardt as an emotional figure, it seems he softened up just this once for baby Chase Elliott.

Recently, a picture of Dale Earnhardt surfaced on Twitter, holding Hendrick Motorsports’ golden boy and 2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion, Chase Elliott. The post followed a picture of Dale Earnhardt with his son in 2000.

It might appear a surprise to many fans, considering Chase Elliott‘s father, Bill Elliott, and Dale Earnhardt’s rivalry.

Despite that, it seems like they only maintained the rivalry on track. And, we see the seven-time Cup Series champion looking after his rival’s son. Certainly, a very wholesome blast from the part.
