During the recent episode of “Sports & Forks,” hosted by Kelly Senyei, the $300 million-worth Dale Earnhardt Jr. (according to Celebrity Net Worth) revealed an unforgettable encounter he had with his father and his apparent love for frog legs. He recalled a weirdest childhood memory when he woke up in the middle of the night and found his father was cooking frog legs in pajamas.

Speaking to Kelly Senyei about food, NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Jr. recalled the dad's late-night frog leg feast incident, and here’s what he said:

“Maybe frog legs. I remember three o'clock in the morning. I'm probably 10, 11, or 12 years old, and I heard some sizzling in the kitchen. No one was ever up into sour like this was really strange. I go into the kitchen and dad was standing there in his PJs, cooking frog legs and a frying pan. I've never seen this before, and I had never seen it since. And, but for whatever reason he wanted to get up eat frog legs.

“I didn't eat one, but I was like, I looked at him and I'm like, damn, Yep, those are definitely frog legs. I loved it because no one else was awake and I hadn't add to myself. Right? And if you know my father, famous guy in every waking moment, everybody in the world is trying to get him into his time. And so sitting there watching him good frog legs for about 15 minutes. I'll never forget that but that's probably something I would never eat.”

“I was in my little S-10 pickup truck about 16 years old, and I was driving down to this log cabin as he was building it. He's on a bulldozer in front of the log cabin clearing some land, and he pushed this tree over. Giant freaking tree. When the tree goes down, right, this big tree falls down; the roots come out of the ground, flipped over a giant bulldozer on the side.”
