@@boblambert-ir8ow RIP Adam Petty

Yep, Earnhardt didn't need any help running head on into the wall.

@JGravely2009 do you think Joey Logano can follow in his footsteps? He, after all our 2nd most winning championship

@@HoldMyBluntNascar Yes sir~ He is running every bit as good Kenny Irwin is today. After all an all you know.

@@JGravely2009 I was a kenny Irwin fan and have a few diecasts of his. My favorite is the #27 Tonka Thunderbird

@dave3660 do you not see an uptick in interest? I can confirm that I was that fan in 2001 and fell off and then returned and then fell off, but this time it's 4 good. I'm too damn old to be whining and complaining about anything else but what I love.

NASCAR has went completely into show business now. It’s not racing. It’s all about selling products now & putting people in the seats racing comes last. Last year they just about got caught up in it when it became too obvious. From around early 60’s forward it slowly has became a show business company. Now it’s like Professional Wrestling & Vince McMahon type. Independent contractors that must tow the official narrative of NASCAR or they leave. Just watch them 2 teams didn’t sign new contract loose legally. I hate to break your heart but even you will see this in the future. A team not supposed to win will get NASCAR’s inspectors or black flag. Sad but true. Them 2 teams will sign that contract & tow the official line or leave. Watch & see if they are allowed back in & it doesn’t become like classified non public release clause. Delete this if you want to but time will prove myself totally correct. I know NASCAR very well. I have no dealings with them now.

@@HowardClifton-sh9lx so we should try to clone him? I'm down with that if you are. What could possibly go wrong?

If he wore the HANS device he would still be alive. It existed when he raced but was old school and did not like it. That is the fact of the matter regardless if you like it or not.

@jamescook6564 That is not fact, it's opinion. Even if Dale had that device on i personally, I think with running the belts a little lose for comfort when the wall impact happened & the belt failed that device would have done .ooooshit to save him because you're head/face will still hit the steering wheel. I am no expert, BUT when a restraint belt snaps that device won't help by any means unless the belts are TIGHT pre crash.

​@thomasgreen8894 It is fact. He died of a bascular skull fracture. Which means his brain broke off the top of the spinal column. The HANS device most certainly would have saved his life. Notice there have been no more fatalities like this since his death and the HANS device became mandatory and there wee 4 within 2 years of him dying.

@Steven-b5n Have you heard him tell stories about how they would put on shows for the fans? Do you think it was part of the script, and it wasn't supposed to go like that? (Tin 👒)

​@@HoldMyBluntNascar What do you mean by putting on shows for fans ?

@Steven-b5n I think 1 that comes to mind is a story of Earnhardt and Mark Martin. I understand the entire thing isn't scripted, but some situations were intentional, but as Earnhardt put it, He just wanted to rattle their cage.

​@@HoldMyBluntNascar Dale Earnhardt intimidated Mark Martin when he was behind him on the racetrack. The media gave him the moniker, "The Intimidator".

Dale Earnhardt would intimidate Mark Martin when he was driving behind him on the race track. The media gave Dale Earnhardt the moniker, "The Intimidator". Not all nor most racers were intimidated by him especially Darrell Waltrip and Rusty Wallace and other top racers at the time. Virtually, it was just Martin and the media noticed that. In my opinion Dale Earnhardt was the best at bumping, pushing, or just plain taking someone out of the way. NASCAR was more lenient with him than any other driver in history. Richard Petty helped build NASCAR with the proverbial white hat on. Dale Earnhardt helped NASCAR with the proverbial black hat on.

@jk-kr8jt Do we put the blame on Sterling Marlin?

No, I don't blame Sterling at all. If anyone is to blame, I don't think anyone is, it would be Dale. I'm a huge Dale Earnhardt fan, since '79. I watched that race from the Reno Hilton and was shouting at the TV, "stop blocking, you're going to wreck". As soon as the checkers flew, I grabbed my bag and headed to the airport. Didn't find out about the tragic loss until about 3:00AM. Sterling was just racing for position.

@jk-kr8jt I remember when he died, and a lot of people who weren't Nascar fans were in shock. They talked about it at school and work, and I remember the homegrown memorials put up around local tracks. This was the beginning to the end of what was going to become a wild year of 2001 and the end to many other great things we once loved. Nascar races used to be so alive, and the fans were more loyal than any other sport. I'm a collector of a lot of things, and the 70s had so much creativity but also the end of "Made In America" and I'm also glad to have grown up with our greatest generation of a lot of things.

Dale's stubborn streak led to his demise, he refused to wear the HANS Device

@djmohab2 could you elaborate a bit more on this? I'm trying to see the connection. I feel like this and the Austin Dillion incident are far apart, seeing how this wasn't a GWC double file wreck fest. Seems more like there were about 4 things going on at once, and it made everything chaotic. My other question is, do you think the old race back to the flag rule after a caution flag had anything to do with this crazy finish?

@HoldMyBluntNascar Earnhardt ran through drivers and injured them even (Darrell at 1995 Winston for example), and this sport worships him. Logano has bulldozed drivers as well as Hamlin. It was criminal what happened to AD3.

And he had that race won before Fleece and Outhouse wrecked each other while not even being on the same lap

@djmohab2 ok got it. Point taken. I made a comment earlier about it being a show, so would you say Nascar is equivalent to the WWE (F) entertainment events, and Earnhardt was just one of those deals? People tell stories about drivers going out there and intentionally putting on a show, and Earnhardt liked to push the limit on some of those "intentional" dramatic events. 🙄

@marksamuel5347 you can thank 24/7 social media and the very young talent. If you can really call it talent. I think we are going to see a shift in the way celebrities and athletes conduct themselves all around in the near future on social media. It's not just Nascar that has this problem either . Drivers need to stick to representing sponsors instead of going on Netflix and acting like foul-mouthed soy boys.I don't listen to the scanner anymore because of the same issues and the language is just too much for my son. Ricky Rudd was right when he said the new generation of drivers just yap about everything. The problem isn't Nascar, but it's very lame rossiter of drivers who the common people don't relate with. The tough days of Nascar drivers is loooong gone, unfortunately

@uh60ce1 do you think the old Winston schedule was superior to everything we have today? And do you think the old worn and abrasive Atlanta was the ultimate track to score out a championship? How much do you think a worn track plays in on skill and equipment management, and should that be a part of this series, or is the smooth, fresh paved tracks full of grip essential to tight pack draft racing that we seem to have adopted ?

@thomasennenga6908 if anything is a much better show, we were given. Nascar is entertainment but not in a good way anymore

@timburks3806 lol Richard Petty and Jimmie Johnson are talentless hacks. Just give me one example of Petty having to drive a car into a victory. Wins back in Pettys priime came unchallenged most of the time. It's the same thing with JJ as well. I'm not saying these guys are not statistically good on paper, but if you were to have a room full of nascar fans who their top 3 drivers are of all time, Petty and Johnson would not be the first choice. Maybe I'm wrong about it, but I don't think so from other times I've brought up the same exact scenario. If you were to mention 3 all-time top drivers, who would be your picks?

@timburks3806 Earnhardt sr , Jeff Gordon, and Kyle Busch are my top 3 all times. Kyle Larson is TBD but could potentially outrank Jeff Gordon, in my opinion. It's hard to outrank KFB when the dude has everything marked across the board in every series. I also considered Mark Martin, but I'd put him in my top 5 all day. I find it hard to consider the Talladega gang or even the Labonte brothers in my top, even though they had notable careers. If JJ was one of the greatest drivers, he would go out and finish much better than he is currently. He has no excuse, and if he makes excuses, he should not even be in that ride, regardless of the situationbecausehe is doing more harm than good. JJ posts Jeffrey Earnhardt type stats week after week

@@HoldMyBluntNascar correct on Petty, absolute 40 IQ take on JJ, who raced against way more competitive fields.

@djmohab2 Yes, but at the cost of so many fans and the reputation of the sport. I am not saying JJ didn't show lots of success, but even my most memorable Jeff Gordon/ Jimmie Johnson Atlanta moment isn't enough to convince me he is a top 3 driver. I would maybe consider him a 5th place driver if you will consider Carl Edwards had more memorable battles than JJ.

​@@HoldMyBluntNascar 🤦 😂 Get well soon. Hopefully you have a speedy recovery.

@@reginaldhall6871 I appreciate all drivers besides Jimmie Johnson

@mrsteve4313 LOL yea, but from what I remember, the onions' worst enemy was his own brother

@kennethroberts3667 Jimmie Johnson is not the second greatest nascar driver. He is a top 10, though

@JSyder-co3xp He had the flat though. Are you implying Nascar drivers manipulates races

@bighand1530 Creed and Nascar are like peanut butter and jelly 😆

@ Speaking of Creed, wonder if he will finally win a race in 2025? Or will it be more second places?

@@HoldMyBluntNascar 2025 will be different, that’s for sure.

@bighand1530 maybe these cars will finally come around like the COT did around this time.

Kerry Earnhardt was very talentless, just like Jeffrey Earnhardt

Explain what you mean, where they cheating?
