Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Wife Amy Are Getting Their Own Design TV Show

Move over, Chip and Joanna. NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his wife Amy are set to be the latest design TV stars.

Many fans expected the 42-year-old racing champion to mostly step away from the spotlight after announcing his retirement from the sport last month. Instead, he's taking on a very different endeavor alongside his wife.

Their new show on the DIY Network will follow their journey to buy and restore a fixer upper in the Old Town district of Key West. Although renovations come with a lot of challenges, the couple are well prepared. Amy is an accomplished interior designer for Wakefield Beasley & Associates in Atlanta.

"Amy is a fantastic designer," Dale said in a statement. "She has creative ideas and a strong work ethic. We love DIY projects around the house, so I expect this to be challenging but fun."
