One of the greatest race car drivers ever, who held 7 championships until he died at the age of 49 in the 2001 Daytona 500, when on the last lap, last turn he suddenly drifted down to the apron and barreled straight on to the retaining wall going an estimated 185 mph. His restraint snapped on impact and was instantly killed, and the interior of the car was badly damaged, and very bloody. Even drivers in other racing types consider Dale Earnhardt to be a true racing legend.
Going 200 mph and turning left for 3 hours is alot harder than you think. Stock cars have absolutely no traction control, or ABS system or any other driver aids, and finding traction going at that speed is difficult as hell, and at the same time being inches away from competition going 5 wide down the turns. Unlike most drivers, Dale Earnhardt was fearless, and made other drivers shit their pants when he came near them. He was nicknamed "The Intimidator"

One of the best NASCAR Driver of all time. The only thing i ponder about why people add definitions that are highly disrespectful. Look at it this way, in 1992, Richard Petty retired. NASCAR ratings were at an all time low. Since 4 races after Daytona in 2001, the ratings for NASCAR have gone down 38%. 9 races after Dale died was the first time EVER a track was not sold out. Think about it that way. Only a crapload of America watched NASCAR because of Dale. There will never be another intimidator like Dale.

Do you people not know the meaning of respect? The man ran into a wall and died, why are you making fun of that? What about people who drive drunk and then kill people becuase they get in accidents? Earnhardt was one of the best in his sport and I would appreciate it if you weren't so damn disrespectful.

Literally The Redneck God; the Father of the Son: Dale Earnhardt, Jr., also known as The Redneck Jesus. Ever since his "tragic death", Dale Earnhardt has been mourned and worshipped more than ever by his millions of worshippers, as evident by the many number 3 stickers seen all over trucks throughout the South and the southern Midwest.
For the southerners and midwestern rednecks who aren't real Christians, they instead worship The Redneck God (Dale Sr.) and The Redneck Jesus (Dale Jr.)
