“Ralph” Gets His Attention: Why Amy Earnhardt Doesn’t Call Dale Jr. by His Name

Amy Earnhardt, the wife of Dale Jr., has a unique way of addressing her husband—and it’s not by the name the rest of the world uses. In a recent episode of the Bless Your 'Hardt podcast, Dale Earnhardt Jr. explained how Amy started calling him “Ralph”, his legal first name, because “Dale Jr.” simply didn’t work when she tried to get his attention.

According to Amy, calling him by his full name never got a reaction, so one day she used “Ralph”—and it worked. Dale Jr. admitted that no one else calls him that, making it effective.

“The only reason I did that, to be fair, is because he didn’t hear me say Dale Jr. So Ralph is what started because I got his attention,” Amy said. (0:11 onwards)

Dale Earnhardt humorously added,

"That's fun for me too, I like that."

Amy, an interior designer with a degree from the University of Kentucky, was hired to work on Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s North Carolina home in 2008.
