The federal trademark registration for "Dale Earnhardt Jr." was not filed by Dale Earnhardt Jr. The application, received by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on June 23, 2000, lists his father, R. Dale Earnhardt, as the applicant. When it registered in January 2003, the owner of record was the RDE Administrative Trust, with Teresa H. Earnhardt as trustee. That file sits behind an answer Earnhardt Jr. gave during the "Ask Jr." segment of the Dale Jr. Download, posted Oct. 13 on Dirty Mo Media
