'Brings the Absolute Worst Out of You': Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s Honest Admission About His Competitive Nature

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was always a fierce competitor on the race track. He won two Busch Series championships and 26 Cup Series races, among many other accolades, using his relentless character. But what is interesting is that this has never been limited to the track. One other avenue in which he carried it into is console gaming. The icon spoke about it in an interview with Jeff Gluck recently.

Junior and a few of his friends are on the NCAA College Football Xbox/PlayStation Dynasty League. He admitted that he is not a gracious loser in this and doesn’t just hop out of the console when he faces defeat. Apparently, it bothers him a great deal. He also continued to speak about how playing Madden Mobile with his friends brought out the absolute worst in him.

“We used to be in a Madden league back in around 2012, and I won the Super Bowl three years in a row, so I was pretty good, but playing Madden with your friends brings the absolute worst out of you. Nothing else is like this,” Earnhardt Jr. said. “And I had to stop and tell myself: ‘This isn’t healthy if I can’t control my emotions around winning and losing.’”
