"Being in your 40s is crazy. Some friends are Grandparents, and some friends have newborns."
While they are not grandparents yet, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Amy Reimann are parents of two daughters: Isla Rose Earnhardt and Nicole Lorraine Earnhardt. They welcomed their first child in 2018, and their second in 2020.
For the unversed, Dale Jr. and Amy Reimann had a longtime relationship since 2009, when they met through work. When the latter was designing the interior of the former's home, it was around the same time when they got involved romantically.
After years of relationship, they got engaged in 2015 and married the very next year. Their marriage was a grand occasion and took place at Richard Childress' Childress Vineyards in Lexington, California.
Besides being a mother, Amy Reimann is also an interior designer and entrepreneur. She launched High Rock Vodka with her husband in 2022 in partnership with Sugarlands Distilling Co.
Amy Earnhardt's dilemma with Dale Earnhardt Jr. following his concussion struggle
Amy Earnhardt was once in a dilemma with her husband Dale Earnhardt Jr. after the latter struggled with concussion and rehabilitation in the latter stages of his career. While racing under such conditions was a questionable choice for anyone, she could not ask him to stop racing and retire.
In 2017, Amy unraveled her husband's struggle to USA Today, mentioning how the two battled the concussions. In her interview, she detailed how she motivated Dale Jr. every day to do his physical therapy. And finally, after a long treatment, the former NASCAR driver was fit to race again. However, the danger of the concussion was not entirely out of sight.
"When he started feeling better and racing became an option again, he got excited, and that helped propel him. For the rest of us, I think it made us a little nervous about what if this (concussion) happens again," she explained.
"Of course, that’s not something you can say to him. It’s more or less his decision. We had a lot of long talks as we were going through treatment. The conversation he really needed to have was with himself. I couldn’t tell him to retire. I tried to make him comfortable with what he wanted to do," concluded Amy Earnhardt.
While Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s symptoms showed up in mid-2016, the former Cup Series driver believed that a crash during the 2012 season triggered the concussion. He believes that a major crash in Kansas that year, where he suffered a major head injury, might have started it.
