Dale JR was formally dating Elizabeth Peschock, a 21-year-old from Charlotte. They started dating in early July, but the relationship was "nothing serious". Elizabeth is now being linked with David Stremme. Recently in a gossip mag, there was an article stating he was getting ready to pop the question to former girlfriend Emily Maynard, but the article had numerous errors. Also recently, there was an article stating that Dale and Kelly Clarkson were being hooked up.

Without question, Dale Earnhardt Jr. is the most eligible bachelor in NASCAR. His many loves have been the subject of endless speculation in the pits and on internet message boards, but the 33-year-old bachelor shows no signs of settling down any time soon.
Junior has been linked with Emily Maynard, 21, the girlfriend of the late Ricky Hendrick. Hendrick, the son of NASCAR team-owner Rick Hendrick, was killed with nine others in a plane crash in route to a race at Martinsville Speedway in 2004.

Five days after the crash, Maynard learned she was pregnant with Ricky’s child and gave birth to a daughter, Josephine Riddick “Ricki” Hendrick, in June 2005. She became linked with Earnhardt in early 2006 after they were spotted together at a boxing match in Atlantic City.

In the fall of 2005, Junior was spotted with Emily Whitaker, 23, the ex-girlfriend of Shane Hmiel, a close friend of Junior’s and a former NASCAR driver, who was suspended indefinitely after his second drug offense. Whitaker dated Hmiel for nearly three years, before calling it quits in 2005. While there was speculation about the relationship between Junior and Whitaker, there was never any confirmation that it was anything other than a platonic friendship.

From 2004-2006, Junior had a long-distance, occasional relationship with a model named Teresa Lanistassi aka TJ. A regular in television and print commercials, the 31-year-old Lanistassi is a native of Millbrook, New York who currently lives in New York City with her son from a previous marriage to a former NASCAR sponsor executive.

She was first spotted with Junior at a June 2004 race in Dover, and was believed to be spotted again during Speedweeks in Daytona in 2006, though she has also been linked to Adrian Grenier, star of HBO’s Entourage. As of lately the two have not been speaking. Teresa has never dated hockey player, Zach Parise, nor have they ever met.

In 2004, Junior had what was perhaps his most public, if short-lived, relationship, when he began dating 19-year-old Kortnie Coles while being followed by a reality television crew for the FX show NASCAR Drivers: 360. Junior met the beautiful and buxom Coles at Texas Motor Speedway in April, and was shown checking her out as she waited outside his hauler for his autograph. He then asked her for her autograph. The two were filmed together the following week at Martinsville Speedway, but the relationship ended shortly thereafter. There were rumors that Coles was a “pit lizard” on the prowl for a driver boyfriend, and she was apparently seen in a 2001 show on MTV called True Life: I’m a Race Car Driver running around the pits expressing her desire to land a driver. Coles is currently a pre-school teacher in Houston, Texas.

In 2003, Junior was romantically linked with Leeann Tweeden, a former Playmate, Frederick’s of Hollywood model, and television host. A native of Manassas, Virginia, Tweeden has also been linked to NASCAR driver Jamie McMurray, surfer Shane Dorian, baseball players Josh Beckett and Scott Erickson, and road-racer Ben Bostrom. In 2001, Tweeden became a correspondent on the Fox Sports television show The Best **** Sports Show, and in 2005 she became an anchor of NASCAR Nation, a nightly entertainment-themed show on the Speed Channel.





From 2002-2003, Junior dated Sports Illustrated model Marisa Miller. The California native was discovered surfing in Santa Barbara in 2001 by the famous photographer Mario Testino, and she quickly gained supermodel status, appearing in the famous Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue later that same year.

Miller met Earnhardt when he took her for a spin around Daytona Speedway as part of a feature for the 2003 swimsuit issue.

And although many people don't know about this, Earnhardt Jr. also dated rapper and singer Lisa Lopes, member of R&B and hip hop group TLC, for a short time before her death in April 2002. Earnhardt paid tribute to Lopes after her death by painting a stripe next to the left headlight decal on his #8 car for the Pontiac Excitement 400 at Richmond International Raceway.



In the fall of 2000, Junior had a brief relationship with Shannon Wiseman, a UNC-Charlotte grad who would later become Miss Winston. Wiseman gained notoriety when she finished second in MTV’s Wannabe a VJ3 contest. Junior asked a mutual friend to introduce them.

At the time, Wiseman had a boyfriend, so she declined when Junior asked her out. But in the fall of 2000, Junior co-hosted a show on WEND 106.5 in Charlotte, where Wiseman was an intern. The show’s host, Kristen Honeycutt, asked Junior about his failed attempt to get a date with Wiseman, and during a commercial break Wiseman called in to say that he simply hadn’t tried hard enough.

The two dated for a brief period shortly thereafter. Wiseman became familiar to race fans in 2002 when she was chosen to be Miss Winston, one of the famed spokesgals for R.J. Reynolds Tobacco that were always present in Victory Lane to plant a kiss on the winner. Later, Wiseman became a television reporter and currently serves as a correspondent for NASCAR.com.

Greg Zipadelli, the crew chief for Tony Stewart and the #20 Joe Gibbs Chevrolet, met his wife, Nan, in Old Forge, New York in 1995. Nan, who was a high school teacher at the time, knew nothing about racing, and when Greg told her he was a crew chief from Hartford, she thought he said that he went to Harvard and that a crew chief had something to do with rowing.

The couple have two children: Zachary Charles, born in 2001; and Elwina “Elli” Sophia, born shortly after Zipadelli and Stewart won their second Nextel Cup title in 2005.

Kevin Harvick married Delana Linville Harvick on February 28, 2001 in Las Vegas, just days before he took over driving the Goodwrench Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing following the death of Dale Earnhardt (the number of the car was changed from 3 to 29 after Earnhardt’s death).

The two met during driver introductions in 1999, but did not begin dating until they were reintroduced at a Christmas party that year at Richard Childress Racing. Their romance was a secret until they got engaged, almost a year to the day from their first date. Delana is now listed as the car owner for the Busch and Craftsman Truck series teams fielded by Kevin Harvick, Inc.

Delana Harvick is often the subject of teasing due to the fact that she wears a team firesuit on race days. No other NASCAR wives or girlfriends do this.






Two-time Nextel Cup Champion Tony Stewart was engaged for a short time to Krista Dwer in 1999. The two hadhad an on-again, off-again relationshipfor many years.Krista lives in North Carolina and had custody ofMojo, the famous monkey (who apparently now resides in a zoo) that she and Stewart acquired while they were a together.

It was Jaime who accompanied Tony to Championship week in New York in 2005 and later to thewhite house for his first presidential visit to meet President George W Bush. The couple called it quits after she found Tony'sanger-management problem to be intolerable. He later said in anESPN interview he was sorry for the break up and felt shewas the "one that got away."




Tony Stewartrecently broke it off for the second time with Tara Roquemore, (pictured here fishing with Tony) a former Home Depot employee from Hiram, Georgia. Also known as Tara Gentry prior to her divorce from Marty after only 4 years of marriage. It was largely speculated in 2006 when Tony missed the top 10 and Chase it was largely due to hisstress over he and Tara's relationship. It became obvious after her divorce that Tarawanted more than gf status after disolving her marriage, and ultimatelylosing her job with Home Depot fortaking too much time off. Friends said it left Tony feeling "obligated to provide for herfull time."Her first public appearance with Tony was at the NASCAR Martinsville Cup race on October 22, 2006, just days after her divorce was final from Marty Gentry. Fans called it her "coming out party". Nowadays it is rumored that she is dating another driver, however this is yet to be confirmed.

Darlington 2008 weekend brought about a couple of firsts forTony Stewart, his first ever victory at the hands of "The Lady in Black" and the "maiden voyage" of his girlfriend, who you may recognize. It's Renee White former Miss Winston, ex-wife of Derrick Cope and ex-girlfriend of Robby Gordon.
It is now rumored that Tony is single, he and Renee remain friends.











2004 NASCAR Nextel Champion Kurt Busch and Eva Bryan met on a blind date in July 2003, immediately following a race at Pocono. The friend who set them up told Bryan that Busch was a veterinarian, not a race car driver, because she didn’t think Bryan would show up to meet a “redneck racer.” But Busch finished second in that race, and was very late for the date because he had to do several media interviews. Kurt says she thankfully waited, and the two hit it off. She didn’t even back out when she ultimately learned what he really did for a living. In 2005 the couple became engaged after Busch popped the question during a trip to Prague to watch a Formula One race. They later tied the knot exactly three years to the date they first met on July 27, 2006.
