CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Dale Earnhardt Jr., NASCAR’s most popular driver, married his longtime girlfriend Amy Reimann on New Year’s Eve in North Carolina.
The 42-year-old Earnhardt tweeted on Saturday night that he and Reimann are excited to be married, sharing a photo of the two on their wedding day.

The two tied the knot at Childress Vineyards, owned by NASCAR team owner Richard Childress.
Earnhardt and Reimann have dated since 2009 and got engaged in June 2015 in Germany.
Fellow driver Danica Patrick posted on Instagram that she caught the bouquet.
Earnhardt missed the final 18 races of the 2016 season because of a concussion suffered in a crash at Michigan. He tested a car in early December and is cleared to race in 2017.
The first tweet from the happy couple came Sunday morning from Amy, showing a sense of humor about their relationship.
I sure wish my husband would wake up! @DaleJr
