It's been 20 years since Dale Earnhardt only meant to rattle Terry Labonte's cage at Bristol Motor Speedway.

I thought at the time typical asshole move by Earnhardt. I was sick of his antics, and when two years later he was taken out on the last lap, I cheered. I still feel bad about that.

@ethanweeter2732 2 жыл бұрын

Back when Bristol rocked. Now it had to be put on dirt to fill the stands in the spring and even then the stands were barely half full. Night race used to sell out a year in advance, sometimes two year waiting list.

I was in a southside Phoenix hole-in-the-wall bar wearing an Earnhardt #3 jersey, and the customers inside were not NASCAR fans. I asked the bartender to put the race on, and he reluctantly agreed. I tell you what, by the end of the night, many were tuned in to the final laps, and a lot of new NASCAR fans walked out of that bar that night.
