Back in the Day is a television show on the North American cable/satellite network, SPEED Channel. It is hosted by NASCAR superstar driver Dale Earnhardt, Jr.

The show, which premiered on February 9, 2006, is a repackaged version of the 1960s and '70s show Car and Track, which was hosted and narrated by Bud Lindemann. The syndicated 30-minute program carried highlights of major NASCAR races, before such coverage was widely available on network television.

The new version features trivia about stock-car racing and other topics, presented in a "pop-up" style (similar to VH1's Pop-Up Video).

Earnhardt Jr. tapes his segments at his home and at the North Carolina Auto Racing Hall of Fame. Both are located in Mooresville, North Carolina.
