I've heard some people say that Dale was like Michael Jackson: the only reason people respect him now is because he's dead. That's not true. Dale Earnhardt made NASCAR fun to watch for his time. If you wanted a show, he'd be the first man to give you one. Nowadays, in NASCAR, nobody's there to do that like he did anymore.

My 3 kids and i watched that last race. My daughter was a nurse and still alive herself in her 20's. She told us all that the ambulance was going too slow. He had to have passed... She also did a few years later. My youngest son stayed in his room and cried for 3 days. Im not so into it anymore also. No replacing the excitement when he was on the track!!!

A man's imperfections aren't what decide whether or not he is a hero. No man is perfect. It's what the man does despite those imperfections. Dale never claimed to be a great man, but he was one of the greatest drivers Nascar ever saw and likely will ever see again. There are 7 Nascar championship cups with his name on them that make that an undeniable fact.
