Former NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. builds custom gaming PC

Via Twitter, former NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. shared his passion for gaming after showing a photo of a custom gaming PC he built.

Though most celebrities mention either PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo, when it comes to their gaming preference, it’s not that frequent that they say they love PC gaming. Now fans who love to build PCs can add NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. into their list of fans.

“I’ve always enjoyed gaming, strictly on PCs. This hobby started back in the mid 90s. I learned over the years how to upgrade hardware. I’d never built my own PC though. I built one this week and really enjoyed it. It went really smooth but I don’t mind that occasional hiccup.”

Though he didn’t shared any specifics about his brand-new PC, the photo shows a Trident Z Neo DDR4 RAM and an EVGA graphic card.

But perhaps fans of Earnhardt Jr. should have expected this. In his Twitch channel @daleearnhardtjr88, he has over 21,000 followers and three videos about iRacing from 8 months ago. The retired NASCAR driver became an executive producer at iRacing on November 2, 2020.
