All right, everybody, welcome back to another edition of the 12 questions podcast.

My name is Jeff Buck.

I'm a writer for the athletic, and each week I ask the same 12 questions to a different race car driver.

Up next, you know, it is Dale Earnhardt, Jr., the NASCAR Hall of Famer, and also analyst for NBC Sports, which is now taking over its half of the NASCAR Cup Series schedule.

So if you're already not listening to Dale Jr.'s podcast each week or following them on social media,

you're going to get a lot more of them on TV now that NBC is back and Fox's portion of the season has concluded.

Dale, of course, ranks among probably the best interviews in all of sports,

certainly that I've come across during my career,

and so it was very nice to have him back on the 12 questions.

He took a lot of time to do this.

Really appreciate that.

So let's jump right in and listen to our conversation.

All right, everybody.

I'm back on the 12 questions with Dale Jr.

And we were just talking about how long it's been since you were on here.

Probably been a long time.

Yeah.

Yeah, we were thinking it was before I retired as a driver.

So at least five years, maybe six or seven.

Well, I'm glad we have the occasion to do this, come back. Does it feel like you've been doing the 12 questions that long?

Yeah.

Really?
