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.

I feel like Dale looks innocent whenever he smiles. Behind that intimidator name, he is nice, helpful, and funny.

"He's a dirty, rotten scoundrel." The eyeroll is priceless! 👀

Legends NEVER die.

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.

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.

Notice how he says "we", we we... coool..

"Is it worth the risk to keep on going?" "Sure, to win." - Dale Earnhardt

RIP and long live Dale Earnhardt Sr. (April 29, 1951 - February 18, 2001), aged 49 You will always be remembered as a legend.

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...

We miss u Dale

"He's a dirty rotten scoundrel." HAHAHAHA! Great line.

Great guy, passionate while being modest. I looked up to him as a young boy along with some other greats in racing. I still am sad we lost him.

the best never admit they're the best...

'my dad and richard petty are the best' - dale is a true G

Michael schumacher also always said WE when referrign to his efforts..great guys, true team players..respect

Dale died doing what he loved to do...only a lucky few get to go doing what they love. Dale and the # 3 will be remembered forever.

Richard may have 200 Wins but Dale was and is The GOAT of NASCAR

Dale was the greatest nascar driver ever he is the best there ever was and the best there will ever be

Dale was the greatest nascar driver ever! His #3 was the coolest stock car! Forever the man in black!

"pit stops under 17 seconds" Holy shit. I forgot how slow they used to be.

I'm really surprised that the 96 crash wasn't the crash that killed him.

Love Ned Jarrett...

3:26 - I agree with Ned

I LOVE & MISS Dale Earnhardt # 3 FOOREVER

The man was fearless, damn I miss Dale!

Dale had swag, even his ride looked badass

he was like the senna of nascar.

I reckon I'll never get over it - past it - but not over it Shout out to Gentleman Ned Jarret - Nice Man and great tv/radio/racecar man

Love when he says I don’t do it for the money true legend no other driver can compare to him

I really loved this little Documentary! Just to sit down and listen to Dale Earnhardt sr . Talking calmly and all sounds good!✨for #3

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 🙏

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.....

"Sure, to win. Cool AF

So cool. Saying he’s not the best. No ego. Just loved racing. There will never be another like him

@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.

Man, I miss this guy.

Loved him so very much!!!! May he rest in peace!!!!! He was like my own father!!! Loved him as he was!!!!

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.

chocolate was a day one guy maybe the only guy from the 80's till 2001

Humble man but Dale you are the best that has ever drove a car and the best there will ever be.

He was the best ever period.

they dont build em like that anymore

I miss him.

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

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.

his answer to Ned at 2:08 says everything

Tomorrow makes 23 years without this amazing man. RIP Dale!! Racing hasn’t been the same since we lost you!!!

I Miss You Earnhardt.

I miss him and that whole era of NASCAR drivers. But most of all tho, I MISS Dale, No #3 is legendary.

I love Sr and his old attitude. "Now Ned, that's a big statement to make. I just wanna win races." And I love Dick B.

Hero to many, Beloved by All. RIP Dale

2:26 Love the eye roll!

“Is it worth to keep going” “Yeah, to win”

I love how hard it was for the pit crew to not crack a smile during that entire segment

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 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.

A quiet man who did so much for so many others.

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.

I miss him every day..

That choir music was perfect for that scene. What a crash!

Jarrett said it right, I think your the best. Jarrett raced with Petty, Pearson, Yarbourough, Allison, Waltrip, etc.....he should know.

Great interview

God I miss him 🥺 I’m a grown man and not afraid to say I cried for days when he left us …. 3 forever forever 3

his last name says it all EARN HARD AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE DID!!! RIP #3

He's talking about the 2000 Winston 500 Dale's last win he came from 17th to 1st in 4 laps to lead it. The greatest race, I agree.

This dude was a hardass

God i miss dale so much

oh how i miss seeing that 3 on the racetrack.

Thanks Mr Earnhardt.

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

Dale Earnhardt senior was the best race car driver that ever were

one of a kind no one else will ever come close!

The man

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.

THE INTIMIDATOR ..THE MAN IN BLACK ...THE GREATEST EVER!!!!

I have spent YEARS trying to find that Braves hat Dale was wearing.

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 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 👍😢❤

Your the best dale

Sure do miss him !

My man! Rip my dude!😭🙏

Ned Jarrett is a legend as well.

All the questions were about him, all his answers were We. Says a lot about the man.

"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'm a die-hard Gordon fan, but NASCAR just isn't the same without Dale. He was the greatest.

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 actually watch this race occasionally on my VHS tapes. I have a lot of races from 95-99 lol

I LOVE this man.

Ken Squire's voice puts my hair in the air

no words.

Ned was right! Like him or not he's the GOAT.

Humble Beast!

Jeez that first crash they showed is legit 1,000 times worse than the one he died in

i miss dale

Nascar has never been the same

It's never been the same.

That was a hard lick...I still miss this man, racing is not the same with the #3 not out there. For me at least, I don't think it'll ever be the same.

Dale is the best ever!
