Dale Earnhardt Jr. Has Recorded Full 2nd Season Of ‘Becoming Earnhardt’ – “Focused Around The 1980 Season”

If you’ve enjoyed Becoming Earnhardt, you’ll be excited to know that there’s more on the way.

It’s easy to say that there’s nothing else like it when it comes to Dale Sr. documentaries, and the entire project is a fascinating and detailed look at the beginning of the legendary Intimidator – specifically through the lens of his debut season in 1979.

NASCAR fans loved the 8-episode podcast series, which first premiered in 2023 as part of the The Dale Jr. Download, and the good news is that the second season will likely be available sooner rather than later. That’s at least judging by the most recent update from Dale Earnhardt Jr., who revealed that he had already gone in to record all of his narration for the second season, and detailed what the next set of episodes will hone in on:

“Today I went into the DirtyMoMedia studios and recorded the full second season of ‘Becoming Earnhardt.’ It’s a series focused around the 1980 season, dad’s first Cup Championship. Follow Dirty Mo Media for updates on when that will be available.

We did a deep dive into the 1979 season a few years ago as well. This series is an opportunity for all of us to learn about the quirky nature of the race teams and the cantankerous personalities that filled up the NASCAR garages back then. I’m massively nostalgic to the past historical moments in NASCAR competition, so this series is a ton of fun for me.”

Can I get a Dale yeah?

That’s obviously some great news, and sparks the question… could Becoming Earnhardt eventually stretch to cover Dale Earnhardt’s entire career? I’m sure NASCAR fans wouldn’t be opposed to a documentary series providing expansive, in-depth coverage on the Intimidator. At the very least, they’re going to have the first two years covered with the second season on the way.

There’s no doubting the success of Dale Sr.’s racing career. He was a seven-time Cup Series Champion, and is arguably the most recognizable NASCAR driver ever. He’s still just as present in pop culture as he was during his heyday, and while Dale Sr. was a real and very flawed man, many still view him as somewhat of a superhero.

If you haven’t checked out the series yet, here’s the trailer for the first season. Hopefully a sneak-peak at the second season comes sometime in the near future:
