This is not a feud. This is a no, ma’am.
During a recent episode of Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s Bless Your Hardt podcast, his wife Amy Earnhardt shared a story from the late 2000s that’s less celebrity drama and more playful girlfriend instinct.
It’s a tale involving pop-turned-country star Jessica Simpson, a NASCAR bus, and one unforgettable dream.
When Amy Was Actually a Fan
The moment goes back to 2008 or 2009, when Amy was dating Dale Jr. and visiting him at the racetrack.
She heard that Simpson was there too — and at the time, she was genuinely excited. They were the same age. Both from Texas. Amy says she’d always been a fan.

So she asked Dale Jr. if someone could arrange for the “Irresistible” singer to stop by the bus so they could meet.
The Dream That Changed the Vibe
Dale Jr. gently shut the idea down — and then showed Amy a clip from earlier that day.
In the interview, Simpson joked that she once had a dream where she married Dale Earnhardt Jr. in a treehouse.
Amy’s response? Immediate clarity. Suddenly, meeting Jessica Simpson was no longer on the agenda.
A Playful Boundary, Firmly Set
Amy told the story with a laugh, explaining that after seeing the clip, she decided she didn’t want Simpson anywhere near her “man” — not out of jealousy, but out of pure, absolutely not energy.

The moment became an inside joke that apparently stuck.
One Less Pair of Shoes
Amy also joked that she hasn’t bought a Jessica Simpson shoe or bag since — teasing that she felt Simpson was “trying to fish my man.”
Again: said with humor, not heat.
Dale Jr. and Amy began dating in 2009, kept their relationship mostly private for years, and were married on New Year’s Eve in 2016.
