I think for me in this experience it was surprising that 200+k ppl in a crowd could in unison show respect for one another and participate. It was very emotional during that taping and even YEARS later still watching this.
I still remember watching this race live on television back in 2011, and when they announced the three-fingered salute for lap 3, I got choked up. Me and my mother got out of our chairs, gathered round the dinner table, and held up three fingers for the entire lap. I'll never forget the chills that ran up and down my body for the duration of that lap...no talking from me, my mother, or anyone on the tv/in the stands...only a 43-piece orchestra of V8 engines crying to the heavens at about 8000 rpms...My family has always been big fans of The Intimidator, and to have a memorial like this on what was then ten years after that fateful race day was such an emotional experience. I still remember trying my darndest to hold back tears that entire third lap. To this day, 20 ten years after this particular running of the 500, and 20 years after the darkest day in NASCAR, I still get goosebumps and teary eyed whenever lap 3 comes along, and I see thousands of fans putting up those three fingers for The Man in Black.
It's been 20 years and it still hurts and he is still so missed and this is so wonderful to see people hold up three fingers to honor Dale Earnhardt I hope that they continue to do this number three is so badly missed that black car with the number three on it is so missed it breaks my heart to think about it and it was 20 years ago and I still wonder who's cutting onions in my house right now am I crying or is that the onions or is that you God bless
That's what I'm talking about. Raisin hell and praisin Dale
goosebumps. RIP #3 forever
That was an incredible experience!! RIP#3!!
We miss you dale, always! #3 for life!
Nice how they do that every Daytona race on Lap 3 so they can show respect for Ol' King Dale.
Silence is respect
i was over in the seagrave tower and it was eerie! i literally cried lol
10 years later, they did it again!
Man, you hear the enthusiasm in the fans?!
meaning
Oasis Gaming it means "Do you hear the enthusiasm in the fans?!"
HE WAS NOT SR DALE EARNHARDT JR. Get it right!!!!👿🔥
Please explain your point..... 🤔
Why not have a 28th lap for Davey Allison?How about run the 7th lap in reverse for Kulwicki?
If the guy is so revered, why is someone driving car #3 today?
Mark they don’t retire the numbers. This was the biggest death in NASCAR history.
