Kevin Harvick Lets Slip Dale Earnhardt “Standing in His Briefs” Saga, Revealing the Intimidator’s Priceless Gift

NASCAR legend Kevin Harvick, known for his fierce determination and indomitable championship spirit, humored fans this week with a never-before-told story showcasing his lighter side. The Closer has always been vocal about the profound impact Dale Earnhardt Sr, the iconic “Intimidator,” had on the early stages of his career at Richard Childress Racing. But in a recent episode of his brand new “Happy Hour with Kevin Harvick,” segment, he went a step further, sharing two untold stories that paint a heartwarming yet bada** picture of the iconic Earnhardt, leaving fans both intrigued and shaken by his vibrant personality.

Harvick sits down with the brains behind his long-time sponsor, Realtree. The outdoor lifestyle brand, owned by Bill and Tyler Jordan, has been a loyal partner throughout Harvick’s prestigious career, with their iconic camouflage designs gracing his cars on countless occasions, from his debut as a rookie in the Truck Series in 1995 till his transition to a booth role after almost winning at Phoenix for a record tenth time and retiring in the 2023 season.

Recalling a visit to Michigan for an ACDelco sponsorship deal announcement, Harvick found himself in an unexpected situation upon entering the #3 trailer of Earnhardt with the man behind RCR himself, Richard Childress.

The surreal scene inside the iconic #3 trailer at Michigan was just one chapter in Harvick’s colorful interactions with the legendary Earnhardt Sr. However, the roots of their camaraderie traced back to an ‘explosive’ incident a few months prior, involving Harvick and fellow racer, Truck Series talisman, and former driver for DEI, as well as RCR, Ron Hornaday Jr.
