"I'm not a person that's like, 'Hey, can I get a picture?' I just don't do that," Junior said in a recent episode of his podcast. "Everyone's talking to them, everybody is bothering them. The way I look at it... I'm like, I'm not going to add to that." [15:32]

However, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his wife used to be especially fond of watching the famous American comedy-drama when they were dating. Junior recalled,

"I know Amy watched Sex and the City forever back when we were dating and got married. I bet if Amy knew me and her (Sarah Jessica Parker) were in the same room, she would probably be mad that I didn't go up and get my picture made with her, so I did bend my rule there," the 49-year-old said.
