XM Radio issued an e-mail with quotes from Dale Earnhardt Jr. and what he could have been if he didn't become a racer. Charlotte, N.C. -- Dale Earnhardt, Jr. said Tuesday that he was planning to enroll in art school before he became a NASCAR superstar.
The 32-year-old race car driver told a caller during his XM satellite radio show that, after graduating from high school, he was going to take art classes at a community college in Charlotte, N.C., but he ultimately decided that a racing career was the better path.
“We've never talked about this before,” Earnhardt said. “When I was in high school, I started taking art classes and I started drawing a lot. I’d draw at home and stuff like that, and I was always driving race cars and stuff. That was a big deal. I liked drawing crashes. I don't know why. Before I went and got a degree at Mitchell Community College in Statesville in Automotives, I had plans to enroll at Central Piedmont and take art classes. I was actually heading in that direction and I discovered that I was probably better suited to drive race cars."
Earnhardt took live phone calls from fans during a special edition of his weekly XM show on Tuesday, March 20. Highlights of the call-in show will air during the program’s regular time slot on Thursday, March 22, at 7:30 pm ET. “Dale Jr. Unrestricted” airs on the sport talk radio channel XM Sports Nation (XM channel 144).

Caller - "I want to ask Dale about art."
Dale Jr. - "Well that's an interesting question and we've never talked about this before. When I was in high school, I started taking art classes and I started drawing a lot. I’d draw at home and stuff like that, and I was always driving race cars and stuff. That was a big deal. I liked drawing crashes. I don't know why. Before I went and got a degree at Mitchell Community College in Statesville in Automotives, I had plans to enroll at Central Piedmont and take art classes..."
Caller - "Oh, awesome."
Dale Jr. - "Yeah, so I was actually heading in that direction and I discovered that I was probably better suited to drive race cars."
