      The fact that the penny came from a kid with cancer, and Dale Sr sent that kids family to honor his memory.

    Many forget but Larry Mac was arguably one of the most hated guys in the garage by the fan base before this race, coming over from Yates many claimed he was purposely sabotaging Earnhardt cause Larry was a ford guy. People would curse Larry as he walked by saying he ruined a legend, but after those 200 laps he became America’s Crew Chief

    What made me so overwhelmed with excitement and happiness to the point of tears was knowing how much he wanted this win, how long he waited and how much it meant to Dale. The emotion from the booth to the tribute down pit road!
    I still feel the same when I watch it now Wow what a wonderful amazing day. What a unique incredible man this racer who touched so many!
    Still does ... I've said it a thousand times "They are angels and heroes among us. Thanks Dale for being both of those. ❤️🏁🏁🏁

    There's no other NASCAR moment greater than the 1998 Daytona 500, sure you can think about 1992 Hooters 500, or the 1979 Daytona 500, but the 1998 Daytona 500 is without the doubt the greatest NASCAR moment of all time!!!

      ​​@@MarlboroGMGoodwrenchi think that 2001 pepsi 400 is one of the most emotional moments in all of sports ever. The whole story behind it and how it played out is almost hard to believe it went down that way.
      Edit: and right behind that comes Steve Parks win the following week at Rockingham racing for one of Dales 3 teams. Followed by Kevin Harvick two weeks later winning in Dales car after it being renumbered #29. That was such an emotional 6 months for all of NASCAR Nation at that time.

    I will never forget this race. I was 14 at the time. My dad and I, both diehard Earnhardt fans, were jumping and screaming when Dale Sr won that race. That was probably the last time I ever saw my dad get that excited and overjoyed about anything.

    We came back home and drank a nightcap on the deck and gave leftover bites of steak to Sugar Bear. Such a lovely day and night. Thank you Dale Earnhardt Sr..the Oppermans

    I was five when this happened. I formerly had a step father who was a HUGE Earnhardt fan, and he and my family were yelling and cheering, and I was too, even though I didn't care for him at the time.

  • @brianrufh3684
    @brianrufh3684 Рік тому +1

    I was at work in a clean room when he finally won. My coworker, who was also a huge Earnhardt fan got a call from his wife on the phone we had on the wall. I knew full well why she was calling. We both asked to be told where he finished. As soon as he said she wouldn't say, we both erupted. Cause there was only one reason she wouldn't tell us. Sadly, all I've been able to see is the replays. I was not able to see him finally friggin win it

    Thats why I miss those old cars, you could swap out a rocker and push rod.. and run the big V8 500 miles
    If the car got beat up or banged you could put a new bumper on hammer the sheet metal, and still have a shot at winning..
    Now anything happens to these new cars.. they are just Junk so light and fragile
