That is the one thing I always loved about Earnhardt. He sat there with 7 championships and 76 wins, and when asked if he thought he was the best, he still denied it. Dale Earnhardt was very successful, but still remained very humble, he never got a big head. I still miss him too.
@@joeyjohnson4826 it’s ridiculous. My son just started high school yesterday he’s almost 6ft 4 and wears a size 15 shoe smh. I wish I was making that up but my lady and I had a hell of a time finding good looking shoes for him
That's our Dale Earnhardt Sr. The Oppermans from Texas will always love and miss you Dale Earnhardt Sr, your devoted fans forever. Dale was not stuck up. He chose his friends wisely and did not let everyone in his tight circle. He remembered his roots and was our favorite driver of all and he was for us. Thank you Dale!
He may have been the intimidator on the track but he was the most gracious and generous person off the track that you’d ever meet. Not many know of all the good he did for others. He had a heart of gold and drove the car of black. NASCAR has never been the same since February 2001.
I was brought back to Dale Sr. Because I was thinking about my Dad. He was my Dads favorite driver. Hearing how he talks about racing, its just a love to race, a true love of the sport. And that quote, “Sure, To win” , I understand why this was my dad’s favorite driver. The man was a Winner. Plain and simple. RIP 3
What an amazing dude. You didn’t have to say your the best because everyone else will do it for you champ. R.I.P. Dale you were the best driver ever and even a better man. Thanks for everything Dale.
Dale Earnhardt was a great man!!! It hurt me...and still hurts today to see the wreck and to know he's gone. I remember; a girl I was dating at that time loved him. When I went to her house the next morning she was crying and told me what had happened. I was shocked...very shocked. I watch these videos and feel it all over again such a shame to lose a great guy and great NASCAR driver! RIP Dale.
Just a true badass. That sport needs him so much now and the only thing he and Jr share is a name. Dale would drive no matter how bad he was hurt, not because he had to, he needed to. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of him and miss him. I don't think I was ever really a Nascar fan at all. I was, and am, an Earnhardt fan. RIP Dale...
@Rocket Man What are you talking about? Who needs Google to understand that the man won it all seven times? He is definitely one of the best of all time if not the best
Rocket Man bro stfu lmao you’re just a dead beat 9-5 nobody go try and find some videos about you and your job and see how many people give a fuck lol people these days are a bunch of fucking weirdos, you probably talk shit on 9/11 videos too (not comparing his death to 9/11) but you’re definitely just a washed up bitter person that needs to get attention by bitching
The crash that got him was a total fluke... his car hit the wall at exactly the right angle to maximize the g force impact. Had he hit at any greater or lesser angle he most likely would have walked away as he had so many times before... RIP.
@@imrickharrisonandthisismyp5908 that's a little bit different though because Muhammad Ali knew that he had to market his fights and get publicity. But even then his trash talk a lot of the time was pretty friendly and more comical.
you can see that he lit up but kept it humble when he was told he was the best in racing! he was just true to the sport! and acknowledged all the others that felt the same way! damit..life always takes the special ones.....
I come from the monster jam side of motorsports but to watch and learn more about Dale was really nice, he seemed like a really nice and genuinely good person, Rest In Peace Dale 🙏
@tjazz05 It actually was later diagnosed as a chemical reaction like Dale was talking about. He had a fresh tomato and some actron which is a muscle relaxer. Eating a tomato allows you to take in more fluids and become better hydrated. Dale normally ate the tomato before races, the day at Darlington he took the actron as well and he had a chemical reaction. It had nothing to do with his death which was from a basular skull fracture.
I used to say he wasn't the best. I used to say Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson were better. My mind has been kind of changing lately. He was consistently good. Facts are facts: his average finish is better than Jeff or Jimmie. Jeff and Jimmie still have more wins, but I have to give credit to Dale for always being in contention even on the day he died. The man was still going strong at almost 50 years old.
Of the 7 Time Cup Champions I rank them like this 1: Dale Earnhardt 2: Richard Petty 3: Jimmie Johnson Jimmie won his when cars were safer & the whole format was easier for him. Even Cale Yarborough said it was easier for Richard Petty to win his 7 because there wasn't as much talent.
@@Dustin_UFOs love this! Richard Petty had it on easy mode most of the time with the small fairground racetracks with random people entering just for fun.
I’m 27, I still mis Dale Earnhardt, I was born in 1995 and knew him and watched him, that’s how big he was, He passed when I was 6 and I was that big a fan already.
Damn I have tears in my eyes watching this. Those were the days. I watched a little bit after Dale died and route it for his son but NASCAR is just not the same. The 80s and 90s were some damn great racing years. I loved seeing Dale‘s pit crew team there at the end and I loved nerds interview with Dale. Dale was such a handsome man as well. Sport just isn’t as fun. It’s so corporate now and all about money. I miss these guys like Dale Earnhardt, Davey Allison, Richard Patty, who’s daddy‘s or drove and everybody learned on dirt tracks and worked on their own cars etc. The golden days of NASCAR are sadly gone.
I love Dale SR ... he was my favorite driver back then... he is in a better place... I remember him... I have always been a fan of him ... even though I don't have any of his stuff..#3 forever Dale SR... he always has had a smile on his face...go #3😀Dale SR...man I miss that guy... every time he would win a race he got excited... Dale JR followed his dad's footsteps...
I’ve gone until 2/3/18 before hearing audio of Earnhardt... it’s always videos of him winning and that devilish grin. But Finally thought jeez I’ve never even heard him speak. Crazy
One of my biggest regrets is never getting to see this man race first hand. Lord knows how much I wish I could have met him face to face, and spend even 5 minutes talking to him.
Not even close. Most over-rated maybe. He was given way too much. Jumped restarts,.... no penalty. Was given better equipment by Nascar. They tried to give the big baby the Daytona 500 multiple times.
he wouldn't have been considered the intimidator in todays world he would've been jimmy johnson but more relatable and loveable. this guy wasn't an asshole at all he was just super competitive like tom brady or michael jordan. what a freaking legend
In Dale life car’s and racing was his life, Today’s young wheel holders, you never hear how they worked on they first race car. Dale was not interested in school sports. Car’s and racing was Dale passion ,he was a hands on driver/worker, His Father raised him with the understanding, on what it takes to be a winner.
That’s exactly why I believe his seat belt breaking in 2001 is why he died. I could be wrong, but I imagine if that hadn’t broke, he wouldn’t have died. If his seat belt had broken in the 96 wreck, most certainly would have died. :( miss him
@LUCKYDUCKY 62 The impact of that dega crash in 1996 was way harder than the crash that killed him at Daytona. The crash that killed him was because of the angle of the impact. Our heads, neck and spine rotate and they're all connected. His neck hyper-extended at Daytona and caused his brain stem to separate from his body. This is documented and proven a million times over. The dega crash was more of a side impact and slightly forward, which is why he broke his shoulder.
Rocket Man in the beginning yes... but he was building a career. He came from the “as long as they have a place to live and a roof over their heads and food to eat I’m doing good. After his daughter was born with Theresa, he completely changed cause he already had the career. He built DEI for his kids and their legacy. That’s not turning your back on them
@Rocket Man Didn't matter if you were blood or stranger... If you wanted his respect you had to work hard and prove yourself He was a hardass... but he wasn't wrong for it Your no a POS if you raise a son like Dale Jr and have so much success in your craft like he did...
dale was either extremely humble or suffered from imposter syndrome… either way, i’m thankful for the impact he left on the sport and the benefits to all racers that came after his untimely death.
"I just love to race, I don't claim to be the best. I just want to win." Only if everbody had that mentallity still, now a days it's more like this, "I just love to get paid, I got a big ego, and I just want to get a good points day."
I never liked him, never cheered for him, as a matter of fact I booed him, but I sure have missed him. He was a huge part of nascar and it hasn't been the same since he left.
Same. To me, it wasn't his driving and all the wrecks he caused (i.e intimidation) that made him so good. It was his determination like hanging out the window to clean his windshield at Richmond. NASCAR has sucked ever since he died.
❤ 😢 I sure do miss Dale The race car driver cause My dad always took me to All his different race track places for him to race on racetracks and I was always stuck with My dad cause he was in charge of babysitting me lol so now All My memories of My Dad are for real NASCAR and more race track racing cars memories 👍😢❤
It was after that wreck at Talledega that DW's wife, Stevie, started giving Dale a scripture passage before every race to tape in his car. If she didn't find him to give him the scripture he looked for her. I think Stevie knew Dale needed the encouragement and strength at first to get over the fear. The last scripture at the 2001 Daytona 500 was Psalm 18:10. Stevie came to the track that day just to give it to Dale. You can read about it on Internet. Type a search: "Dale Earnhardt scripture."
Dale knew that day in February 2001 would be his last. He had to make a deal with God. Listen to his interviews right before that day. Dale helps MW to push him across the finish line that day. He has never helped anyone win but himself. R.I.P. 3.
Miss him and i love the braves hat he is wearing. Damn how time goes by so fast The best I've ever seen in my lifetime and i saw my first Winston cup race in 1975
A lot of great quotes. Whether you liked him or hated him you respected him. Espn would have to have him in the highlights for every race because his name is so recognized even by people who never watched nascar I got into nascar because of sr and that was when he was a 5 time champ. He was the best and he goes with nascar like jordan and nba (never watched nba after jordan retired and never will) and gretsky to nhl and woods to pga. Love nascar too much to stop watching miss old school nascar.
I am sorry, but watching Dale Earnhardt SR vids, bum me out, Can't imagine being Dale Earnhardt Jr.Sr made me love Nascar and will always love it because of this guy
This dega rollover was from the 96 DieHard 500 that was won by Jeff Gordon, if any wreck would've killed the man, seems like this one would've been it. Somehow though he managed to climb from the car with only alot of broken bones. The man got in his car at Watkins Glen not long after this race & put the Goodwrench Chevy on pole, broken bones & all...
It honestly makes sense that the Talledega wreck wasn’t fatale. It wasn’t a sudden stop when he hit the wall. He hit the wall at an angle that kept his momentum going forward
That is the one thing I always loved about Earnhardt. He sat there with 7 championships and 76 wins, and when asked if he thought he was the best, he still denied it. Dale Earnhardt was very successful, but still remained very humble, he never got a big head. I still miss him too.

Behind that intimidator name, he is nice, helpful, and funny.

Richard may have 200 Wins but Dale was and is The GOAT of NASCAR
They also used to count all those weekend short track races as nascar victories. No comparison to Dale’s career in my opinion!
Petty also was more clever and sneaky than the drivers in his day. He was doing shit that was super questionable that nobody else would even think of.
Just a true badass. That sport needs him so much now and the only thing he and Jr share is a name. Dale would drive no matter how bad he was hurt, not because he had to, he needed to. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of him and miss him. I don't think I was ever really a Nascar fan at all. I was, and am, an Earnhardt fan. RIP Dale...

Love nascar too much to stop watching miss old school nascar.
I am sorry, but watching Dale Earnhardt SR vids, bum me out, Can't imagine being Dale Earnhardt Jr.Sr made me love Nascar and will always love it because of this guy
Dale is the best ever!
Ned Jarrett is a legend as well.
My man! Rip my dude!😭🙏
oh how i miss seeing that 3 on the racetrack.
Sure do miss him !
This dega rollover was from the 96 DieHard 500 that was won by Jeff Gordon, if any wreck would've killed the man, seems like this one would've been it. Somehow though he managed to climb from the car with only alot of broken bones. The man got in his car at Watkins Glen not long after this race & put the Goodwrench Chevy on pole, broken bones & all...
Plus that crash and the injuries he had also might have had something to do with Dale blacking out at Darlington the next year
The 199_ race at _________ was won by Jeff Gordon.
If I remember right, he was on the pole the very next week at The Glen.
....sucks to say but I think dale may have loosened his belts during the red flag
It honestly makes sense that the Talledega wreck wasn’t fatale. It wasn’t a sudden stop when he hit the wall. He hit the wall at an angle that kept his momentum going forward
