Dale Earnhardt Jr. proposed to girlfriend Amy Reimann while on the couple was vacationing Wednesday in Germany.

Earnhardt popped the question in a Lutheran church that he tweeted his family had attended seven generations and 300 years ago. Reimann shared the engagement via a Twitter post featuring a picture of them inside the church.

"I'm completely overwhelmed with love & joy," Reimann tweeted. "Happiest girl in the world! I love you so much @DaleJr."

With the Sprint Cup Series off this week, Earnhardt and Reimann and his sister and brother-in-law traveled to Germany to research the Earnhardt family's lineage. Also along is Martin Friedrich, an information technology specialist at JR Motorsports, Earnhardt's Xfinity and Camping World Truck Series team. Friedrich, a native of Germany, is acting as a tour guide for the two couples.

"I got some specific towns that we're going to go visit that we understand that my ancestors are from," Earnhardt said after a second-place finish Sunday at Michigan International Speedway. "I've been searching my genealogy for about five years now and I made a promise to myself then that I would go to Germany and understand more about my ancestors when I turn 40, so here I am.

"I'm real nervous about flying over there. I haven't flown commercial since 9/11, so it's been a long time. My friends tell me I'm in for a treat. Hopefully it's just a good trip."

Of course, if his name was John Smith, he would be out of NASCAR, since he’s not his father.

Obviously, without the name, he wouldn't have had the privileges that he has enjoyed but he has shown himself to be a pretty decent driver. Not at his dad's level but among the current drivers only Jimmy Johnson and Jeff Gordon (in his prime) are.

I have come to like Junior. I once disliked him but I came to realize that I really disliked his obnoxious fans and that Dale Junior himself seems a nice guy. I'd be happy for Dale if he won a Cup.

I like how Dale Jr. has stepped away from his dad and that legacy and has made the Earnhardt name his own.

It's a shame he had to go through all he did to get to this point, losing his dad, losing his mojo as a driver for a time, cutting himself loose from the old and familiar to start again, and doing it all under continual public scrutiny and opinion.

But, he didn't fall into a rut like so many others have and he didn't quit, either. He worked his way through all the way to the other side and came out better for the struggles. Impressive.

I can see why he's the sport's most popular driver and it isn't just because of his dad anymore. He's earned it for himself.

LOL! I was about to say You're thinking of Gordon then saw the next Post;)

I am kinda worried for Amy cuz there are several million JR Nation Women out there that are close to Suicide Watch. One or more might try to pull the Crazy NASA Astronaut thing.

Earnhardt popped the question in a Lutheran church. . . .

So this fellow has a Lutheran family history, eh? I'm a Lutheran pastor. Maybe he will join my congregation and tithe. :-)

Yes, he is good, but I like Greg Biffle, Joey Logano, Brad Kolowski, Carl Edwards (even though be drive a Toy), Matt Kenseth (ditto) and Jeff Gordon. Ricky Stenhouse might be good driver, too...Chase Elliott, too.
