    It takes balls to admit you're an immature child inside, and then grow out of it. Respect to Dale

      I watched him grow from a boy to the man he is today and his dad would have been proud. The way he handled his personal problems with his stepmother was stellar with the upmost maturity, He has grown into an awesome man. I was happy to see that he knew when it was time to retire and start a family. He is in my view a true champion!

    I’ve gained a ton of respect for Jr. over the last few years. He’s a great guy and he’s had to overcome a lot of adversity throughout his life. It’s sad that he wasn’t able to have those years with his dad, because it seemed like things were coming full circle. I feel like he was robbed of some great years with his dad.

    I already respected Dale Jr, but my respect for him just skyrocketed when he said he believes everyone could find therapy helpful even if they think they don't need it. It doesn't have to mean something is wrong with you, but having an unbiased set of ears to listen to you can be immensely helpful.

    being famous and being in a position of influence is a huge responsibility and the fact that he speaks candidly and openly about everyday people's problems shows how much he's grown up and realizing how he can seriously help and encourage others aka millions of nascar fans and millions if Earnhardt fans! well done dale we're all human and all have issues regardless how fast we drive!

    As a man in my mid 30's I've been to several therapist over the course of my life. They're lots of mediocre and bad therapists out there a good one is hard to come by! But when you find the right one, regardless of what you need one for you won't initially see the results overnight but keep going and working on yourself and overtime you will see improvements with yourself across the board. God bless Dale Jr. and Amy, it seems like their therapist has done wonders for them!

    Very interesting. I am glad Dale has Amy and can admit he has issues and was able to seek help. I wish he had met her when he was younger and had married her when he was younger. I mean when he was like 25 or so. I think she would have been good for his career. I believe he would have won a championship or two and a lot more races had he had her. Or for that matter any woman he loved. My wife is a wonderful person and without her, I wouldn't be what I am today. For Dale to admit he was childish and actually did something to change it makes me admire him even more. I hope he does well in retirement and always has the love of Amy, his children, and friends. Dale was one of the nicest drivers in NASCAR as far as I am concerned.

The ramifications of all the BS he dealt with as an ignored son by Daddy. THEN... in walks a pretty woman who ends up marrying the little boy. The little boy who never made the transition BEFORE meeting AMY to manhood. To ...maturity. SO AS FOR JANE, THIS IS NOT BRAIN SURGERY. HE NEEDED TO GROW UP, AND DID IT WHILE MARRIED.
