As morbid as it is, it's true. More drivers would have been killed. Nascar back then was painfully ignorant and lax when it came to safety and it took Dale dying to wake their asses up. In a way, it was like a sacrifice and Dale's last gift to the sport because who knows how many more drivers would have been killed if it weren't for him shocking Nascar into being more strict with safety. The butterfly effect beyond that is too much to even comprehend. It's cool to think about I guess how things would've been different but it really doesn't matter. It wasn't in the cards.

Coincidence? Dale enters nascar in the late ‘70s, starts putting together wins and gaining respect in the ‘80s. He becomes influential in how nascar as a company is run, nascar sees a boom of popularity and success in the ‘90s and early 2000’s. And quickly fading after Dale’s death. Almost makes you wonder if the France’s just suck at running a business and Dale was the one who made nascar have it’s big boom, not just on the track, but behind the scenes

I'm the same age now that he was when he died. He was my idol and superhero as a kid growing up. I got into racing dirt track stock cars the same year as he happened to have passed. I had already worked on my number 29 car for about 6 months before the season started and it was a dismal Pontiac that kept us mid pack to top 10ish which wasn't bad for the pos that it was. 2001 when Dale Jr won the summer daytona race I was driving the same 29 car that I won the heat race with that night. I finished 3rd in the main and of all the cars out there I kept my horn connected in my stock car and honked it down the straight with my 3rd place and held my 3 fingers up proudly....I took one more lap that was only supposed to be for the winner and when I entered 3 and 4 the maybe 500 fans still there, were standing with their 3's in the air. One of the proudest moments of my life. I'll never forget Dale the racer and man....you youngins learn who he was both on and off the track...great hero to look up to!!

That number three has a special meaning to every person that ever watched him race. Not sure if anyone was into f1 but check out max verstappen, he’s the closest ive seen to dales aggressive style. No one can do it like he did RIP dale

Earnhardt Sr. Died for his son and his good buddy. First time I never seen Earnhardt sr. play defense like that. Its was a beautiful moment and yet filled with tragedy.

I'm damn proud to live in Dale's hometown of Kannapolis, NC for the past five years. And yes I've visited that statue in the opening. There's a small pocket park in downtown Kannapolis where that statue is the centerpiece.
