Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s wife, Amy Earnhardt, opened up about how her husband deals with disagreements. She took a subtle jibe at Earnhardt Jr. and said he likes to argue with everyone around him even in moments when he shouldn't.

Earnhardt Jr. is a former NASCAR driver who met Amy Reimann during his early racing days at Hendrick Motorsports. They married in December 2016, before the driver's final Cup Series season commenced. Today, the couple launched a new show called Bless Your 'Hardt, which revolves around the Earnhardt family.

The show was off to a rough start after Amy playfully took a dig at Dale Jr. about resorting to an argument. She said (via X):

"I feel like you really like to argue."

The 26-time Cup race winner then denied his wife's claims. However, Amy went on to say:

"You like to clown, debate, argue, and poke at everyone around you."

In response, Dale Jr. said he just wanted to be a "smartass" and joke around. Amy stated her husband's antics create arguments.

"Sometimes, it's not the right time for that," Amy added.

At the end, the couple agreed that the podcast might be a good opportunity to settle disagreements and help them grow.

Aside from arguments, the pilot episode of the all-new Bless Your 'Hardt show discussed family matters, including the daddy-daughter dance, Earnhardt Jr.'s take on video games, and picking which artwork of their daughter to keep.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Amy are parents to two daughters, Isla Rose, 6, and Nicole Lorraine, 4. The younger sibling's name came from Amy's middle name (Nicole) and Dale Jr.'s mom's middle name (Lorraine).

Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s NASCAR Xfinity Series lineup consists of Carson Kvapil, Justin Allgaier, Sammy Smith, and Connor Zilisch. The team will also field Cup drivers Ross Chastain and Shane van Gisbergen in select races.

Allgaier will also attempt to qualify for the Daytona 500. Driving the No. 40 Chevrolet Camaro, the 2024 Xfinity Series champion will lead JR Motorsports' debut in the premier series with sponsorship from Chris Stapleton's Traveller Whiskey.

Meanwhile, Connor Hall and Caden Kvapil will drive for JR Motorsports in late-model stock racing.

With a stacked driver lineup, Earnhardt Jr. decided to sit out from NASCAR this year. His previous entry was in the 2024 Food City 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway. He finished the night race seventh in the No. 88 Chevrolet after starting 13th.

However, Dale Jr. is scheduled for a limited late model stock car racing schedule in the Budweiser No. 8 car. The race car pays homage to his ride during his time at Dale Earnhardt, Inc. (DEI), the now-defunct race team his late father owned.
