A look into the holiday season with Dale Earnhardt Jr. and the family

For Dale Earnhardt Jr., December might feel particularly fast-paced due to his busy life with his wife Amy Reimann and their two daughters, Isla Rose and Nicole Lorraine. The couple, who met when Amy was hired to design Dale’s Kannapolis home, have built a life filled with projects, parenting, and public engagements.

Amy’s career as an interior designer and their collaborative businesses, such as the launch of High Rock Vodka in 2022 are a big contributor to their packed schedules. Moreover, the holiday season is certainly more special for the family, as they married on New Year’s Eve in 2016.

Adding to the seasonal celebration, their daughters, born in 2018 and 2020, are at ages where holiday celebrations are filled with energy. Amy Earnhardt shared a heartwarming video of their daughters, Isla and Nicole, getting into the festive spirit by leaving treats for Santa Claus. The video was shared via her Instagram story. Amy’s post, with the simple caption “Cookies for Santa,” gave her followers a glimpse into the family’s simple yet sweet holiday traditions and how the family celebrated Christmas.

As a third-generation NASCAR driver and business owner, Dale Earnhardt Jr. is no stranger to the demands of a high-pressure lifestyle. His retirement from full-time racing in 2017 allowed him to focus more on family and ventures like JR Motorsports, DirtyMoMedia, and CARSTour.

However, even in retirement, Junior's calendar remains full. The family is often seen together at various events and enjoys spending time at their North Carolina home. Moreover, he also takes part in the NASCAR Xfinity Series races on a part-time basis.
