Despite being a two-time NASCAR Xfinity Series champion, Earnhardt Jr. initially struggled to come up with a fitting personal quote on the spot.

While speaking on Bless Your 'Hardt's episode released on August 1, Dale Earnhardt Jr. said: "I was looking through them and I was like, there's a couple good ones, but I don't need to write that. What if somebody saw this and went, 'That's his damn daddy's quote; that's not his quote'? So I was like, dare I Google my quotes? Damn it... it's weird to Google yourself.” (42:39)He ultimately chose to write, "I never wish to be anyone else," on the board, embracing a unique and personal message rather than repeating his father's words. The anecdote highlights Earnhardt Jr.'s humility and humor as he navigated the unusual request, feeling awkward about "Googling" himself but wanting to meet the fan's expectations.
