Dale Earnhardt Jr. was officially inducted into the Nascar Hall of Fame over the weekend.
And of course, it sounds like there was a hell of an after party, which was held at the Charlotte concert venue The Fillmore… with plenty of High Rock vodka and Budweiser to go around, I’m sure.
In one of the coolest moments of the night, other than Dale Jr. taking his place in the HOF alongside his father, Amy Earnhardt pulled off an epic surprise: Dwight Yoakam showed up to put on a show for everybody:
“What a night! Amy Earnhardt surprised Dale with a very special guest.. scroll to find out!”
Dwight has been a longtime favorite of Dale Jr., so I’m sure this was just the icing on the cake for what was one of the best night’s of his life.
Amy also posted a few photos and videos from the night, saying this was the best surprise she’s ever pulled off for her husband:
