I know little about NASCAR (or racing in general) but I watched this clip a few times and it's pretty obvious that there is a man with an inferior vehicle that won with superior skill. God Bless EarnhardtSR and anybody else who plays to win.

@ArtietheArchon 7 жыл бұрын

it seems like he has the inferior machine because the cars behind him can draft up to him but elliot had more than one chance to out-accelerate dale without the benefit of drafting and could not

It was common knowledge to anyone in or around NASCAR that Elliotts T-bird was cheated up BIG TIME in those days. They didn't call it "The Narrow Bird" for nothing. Not only that but they were monkeying around with the weight of the car as well. Crew members have since admitted this. Once NASCAR caught on, Elliott slowed down.

Also recall that in 'The Winston' post-race interview Earnhardt blamed Bill for wrecking #5. But who did the 5-car ram after the event? It wasn't the #9.

The crew is much more important than the driver and any driver can win with the right tools. Dale would drive hard BUT he owned up to it and admitted when he spun someone.

This is but one example of thousands that show Dale as the greatest ever.

If giving someone the "chrome-horn" on the dog leg in Charlotte is not "trying to wreck someone" then I don't know what is. Bill just happened trying it on the greatest driver on Earth at the time and 99.9% of the time, anyone else would have gone spinning. After getting his ass beat on the track, Bill pulled a coward move by ramming Earnhardt's car on the cool down lap (when he could finally catch that 3 car).

But could the Elliotts build a better car under those rules than Childress? You betcha!

I was being sarcastic paulsack21. Elliott won the first two segments, nearly lapping the field in both. That is why Bodine was so desperate to get past the 9 at the start.

Blocking I'd part of racing, period. You really think racers should just say "ok, you can go now buhbye"? Nope. You fight tooth an nail to keep that lead. As long as your blocking doesn't cause a wreck then it's fair game. In all my years of racing dirt oval RC Sprint cars or any form of RC, I've never got mad at someone for blocking. And nobody has every gotten mad at me for blocking. There's a difference between dirty driving and hard racing. Learn it.

Bud I'm to defend you on this. A lot of people say blocking is dirty, well guess what. I didn't go to the racetrack to make friends. Who cares what your competition thinks of you. EVERY driver would do what Earnhardt did if they thought they could do it and get away with it. When I say get away with it I don't mean the sanctioning body of racing saying it's ok, but getting away with it I mean bring able to hold on to the car and not wreck. There's blocking in all forms of racing and in many different styles. Blocking doesn't exactly mean moving down on someone and making contact. Its also by moving a half Lane down on the straight away to keep the guy behind you from getting on your inside. You're not there to to make it easy for some one to pass you, or to help a driver that races for the same car owner. I hate the term teammates in racing. There are no teammates. If you're willing to hurt your progress to help someone else, then you're no longer racing. If you stay in the draft and don't attempt to make a pass at the end of a race, bc u don't want to hurt ur owners other team, your no longer racing. Dale Earnhardt was the greatest ever. Nobody and I mean nobody, could have won that race against Elliott except Earnhardt.

Amen! the golden age of nascar died with earnhardt sr. hopefully truex jr and awesome bill's son chase can bring some manhood back into this sport. The way chase handled himself the other week when denny hamlin wrecked him shows bill raised that boy right, would love to see him start to dominate.
