Dale Earnhardt Jr. Found In A Strip Club, He Explained His Side of The Story
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Found In A Strip Club, He Explained His Side of The Story. Unforgettable Adventures: Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s Epic Road Trip and Strip Club Escapade
Growing up as the son of racing legend Dale Earnhardt, Dale Earnhardt Jr. had big shoes to fill. However, even the offspring of a NASCAR icon sometimes craves teenage adventures. On an episode of the Dale Jr. Download, Dale Jr. and former NASCAR driver Ken Schrader reminisced about a wild road trip that involved racing, beer, and an unexpected trip to a strip club. This thrilling escapade sheds light on a lesser-known side of Dale Jr.’s youth.
But you’re still a teenage boy who wants to do teenage boy things – like sneaking into a strip club.
On an episode of the Dale Jr. Download, Dale Earnhardt Jr. sat down with former NASCAR driver Ken Schrader, and the two recalled an epic trip that they took together that ended with a trip to the gentlemen’s club and one pissed off father.
Junior was sixteen at the time, and says that he didn’t spend much time hanging out with his dad or his team.
But Ken Schrader, one of his dad’s good friends, invited Junior out on the road with him for a week as he was going around to various races.
“We was just talking and I said ‘We oughta take Junior on a trip with us, we’ll just go racing all week.’
And he just looked at me. And I said, ‘Racing.’
And he knew. He knew what was going to happen.”

Well what was about to happen was what Dale Jr. calls one of the greatest weeks of his life.
Dale Jr. flew out to meet Schrader at the first race in St. Louis. And after Kenny won the race, his team was hanging around with a cooler full of beer.
Junior says that he went into the RV when Schrader’s wife Ann offered him a beer too:
“I was like, ‘Oh I can’t drink a beer.’ And she goes, ‘Yeah you can!’ And I said, ‘Well I don’t want anybody to know I’m drinking a beer.’
She goes, ‘Well you can just pour it in this cup.’ So she poured me a beer in a Dixie cup.
She was the bad influence. And so then I drank a bunch of beer.”
They then go on to the next race, and Dale Jr. says that after a few days he’s a little more comfortable:
“Now I’m getting my own beers after a few days. I’m comfortable. I know where the cooler is…real comfortable. Now I got a couple nudie magazines, the Bible’s long gone…”
But they almost got busted by the elder Earnhardt during their next stop:
“Your dad stuck his head in the camper at Topeka. He says, ‘Junior up there?’
I said, ‘He’s fine.’ And he’s like, you know he’s got a magazine and beer cans beside the couch, like, ‘I’m good dad!’”

Junior said his dad didn’t notice anything at that point, but apparently he somehow got wind of their exploits later on in the week.
But that Saturday night, things really got wild: They decided to go to the strip club.
“We’re in a van, we pull up…and a couple of people are like, ‘They ain’t gonna let him in.’
Schrader’s like, ‘We’re gonna form a circle, Junior you get in the middle, just eyes forward, don’t say a word, we’re just gonna go in, they’re never even gonna see you.’
It didn’t work. So we get to the door and we try to go on in, and the guy goes, ‘Hey you can’t come in.’”
Bummer.
Well Junior decides not to push the issue, and goes back to the parking lot to hang out in the van, and another member of the group who Junior didn’t know very well decided to go back with him.
“He’s like, ‘Let’s sit in the bed of this pickup truck next to the van.’ Me and him get the beer cooler, we sit in the bed of the pickup truck and drinking beer and just watching people come in and out of the parking lot.”
Now would also be a good time to mention that they had no idea whose truck it was that they were hanging out in. But Junior and this guy are just hanging out in the back of a random truck, shooting the sh*t, and watching all of the activity going on around them in the parking lot of the strip club – including a guy who was selling guns out of his car:
“I watched a gun deal go down. I’m watching a guy selling guns out of the trunk of his car…Me and this guy are sitting in the bed of this pickup truck and two guys are standing at the back of this Mercury with the trunk open, just talking and looking in there, and talking and looking in there.
I imagine it was guns, I dunno. I’m gonna assume it was guns. Who knows what could have been in there.”
Well at some point during the evening, Schrader had another surprise for Junior while he was stuck out in the parking lot.
“Midnight, 1:00 in the morning, pitch black. They come out. Well who comes out with them? All the girls that are in the club…
In my mind, today, as I’m remembering it, in about 2 minutes they’re like, ‘Hey, you couldn’t get in there so we brought the party out here.
There’s strippers standing on the hoods of the car around, there’s guys carrying AKs around and firing them in the air…
It wasn’t really like that but that’s how I imagine it in my mind.

The strip club basically just emptied out into the parking lot for I don’t know how long.”
Schrader adds:
“We didn’t want you not to be included.”
Well the next morning finally rolls around, and Junior says he gets the first hangover of the entire trip. (Schrader points out that Junior would have had to stop drinking to get a hangover before then). And his dad had flown in to run the race that day, so Schrader had some advice for Junior:
“I gave you strict instructions, don’t talk to him and don’t breathe on him.”
But despite his best efforts, Junior wasn’t able to avoid his dad. While he was sitting in Schrader’s pit stall, Earnhardt walks up:
“I seen daddy’s boots coming across the floor. I got my head down, and under the bill of my cap I can see daddy walking up.

And he looked down at me and he goes, ‘Hey.’ And I looked up at him and he just turned around and walked off. I didn’t even have to say anything.”
And on their way home after the race, Junior says he got the silent treatment from his dad:
“I remember we got on the plane and went home. I don’t remember having a conversation with him about it, I think it was, I knew I was caught, I knew he was mad, and he didn’t want to talk to me and I didn’t damn sure wanna open my mouth and start anything.
It was silent. And he never said a word to me.”
I mean, how mad could he really be? He knew what was going to happen on the trip.
But the best part of the whole story may be something that Dale didn’t find out until years later. He recalls walking into the driver’s meeting during a race and sitting down next to Carl Edwards, who introduces him to his father:
“I sit down next to Carl, Carl waves me over, and he’s like, ‘Come here.’ He’s like, ‘You know my dad.’ I’m like, ‘No, I don’t think so man, how you doing?’ He goes, ‘Nah you know him, he says y’all and him hung out.’
I was like, ‘What?’ He’s like, ‘Yeah, in the back of a pickup truck in the damn parking lot of a strip club in Topeka, Kansas.’
I was like, ‘That was YOU? Carl Edwards’ dad. Back in 1991. What a small world.”
Incredible. Sounds like they had a hell of a week – and got one hell of a story out of it.

Extreme incompetence or it was deliberate: Elon Musk voiced out on Assassination Attempts on Donald Trump, 50cent Rant
Donald Trump was attacked at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024. A barrage of gunfire set off panic, and a bloodied Trump, who said he was shot in the ear, was surrounded by Secret Service and hurried to his SUV as he pumped his fist in a show of defiance
Trump’s campaign said the presumptive GOP nominee was doing “fine” after the shooting. The shooter was identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, who attacked from an elevated position outside the rally venue.
Secret Service agents fatally shot Crooks, One attendee was killed and two spectators were critically injured. All were identified as men. The attack was the most serious attempt to assassinate a president or presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981
The attack drew new attention to concerns about political violence in a deeply polarized U.S. less than four months before the presidential election
President Joe Biden, who is running against Trump, was briefed on the incident and spoke to Trump several hours after the shooting. Many Republicans quickly blamed the violence on Biden and his allies, arguing that sustained attacks on Trump as a threat to democracy have created a toxic environment.
Elon Musk twitted to condemn the action

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Ended Up on the Wrong Side of the Law, charged with making trouble with two policemen
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Ended Up on the Wrong Side of the Law, charged with making trouble with two policemen
NASCAR icon Dale Earnhardt Jr. and 2023 Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney were recently on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” and talked about the Netflix special NASCAR: Full Speed among other things. During their conversation, Dale Jr. opened up about his traffic violations and revealed the interesting encounters that he had with 4 different police officers.
He took a trip down memory lane to remember how he got his first speeding ticket and quipped that he had received not one, but four tickets between the ages of 16 and 18. He told Clarkson, “I had a few issues in the first two years of having my license, from 16 to 18. I got four tickets, and the funny thing about it is, is that it was four different officers who told me they all gave my dad his first ticket, so I don’t know how that is possible.”
Dale Jr.’s father Dale Earnhardt was one of the biggest names in stock car racing since its advent in the 20th century. While it is natural for anyone to be known as having interacted with the legend, Dale Jr. can’t quite put a finger on how four different officers could have given him his first ticket. However, he did have a more important lesson to take away from the tickets he got
“I learned my lesson,” he affirmed. “I haven’t had any problems since then.” Dale Jr. is one of the executive producers of Full Speed. The docuseries has been very well received by drivers and fans since its premiere last month.

The instantaneous impact that Full Speed has been having on NASCAR
During the last race weekend, several drivers voiced their support for the Netflix docuseries and said that it was helping the sport generate new fans. One of the series main characters, Denny Hamlin said, “I thought it was a very good introduction for new fans. Because they also were kind of teaching you some 101 stuff, like, here’s how this works.”
Xfinity Series racer and Live Fast Motorsports co-owner B.J. McLeod compared it to the Hollywood hit Days of Thunder and mentioned that it had the best potential since the movie to attract new fans. He said, “It’s something that people should see, and I think that it was an unbelievable opportunity for NASCAR to have that on Netflix.”
The docuseries chronicled the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series playoff run and featured others including Ryan Blaney, Denny Hamlin, William Byron, Ross Chastain, and Dale Jr., himself.
