When Dale and his wife left for racing weekends, they left Zach with his other grandfather, Jasper Spears, who was a Minor League baseball player in the Brooklyn Dodgers organization. From countless hours of playing and watching baseball with Spears, Zach knew from a young age he wanted to be a professional baseball player.

On Wednesday, Jarrett's dream came true when the Orioles selected the 6-foot-4, 220-pound outfielder in the 28th round of the 2017 MLB Draft.

"It's unreal," Jarrett said. "It's been a dream since I was a little kid. For the day to come, it's unreal. It's hard to believe this day is here. I'm ready to get started."

"It's just an exciting day," Dale Jarrett said. "My dad and I were very fortunate in another sport, but, to me, this is one of the most exciting things that's ever happened to our family. My dad and I have won championships, been inducted into the Hall of Fame, but when you see your children achieve their goals and have success, it means more than anything."

Although NASCAR brought his family success, racing was never an option for Zach.

"I think that was his mom taking him wherever he wanted to go to avoid him getting in a race car," Dale said. "She's thankful for what the sport has done for our family, but this is her son. People get hurt in those things. She was glad to take him anywhere he wanted to go to keep him out of a race car."
