The Albums That Influenced Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.

Michael Jackson – Thriller

As a kid, I wore out four copies of this record. I first heard my parents’ vinyl copy and wore it out on a Fisher Price record player. Then, I wore out a cassette and two CDs. I used to lip sync to it and make up dances with my cousins at family parties. Those songs are still such a bench mark and knowing now that he was writing it all makes me even more in awe of it. As a kid, I probably was also dazzled by the photo of him with a tiger on the record.
