Dale Earnhardt

[Claws]

Guys. I don't think we've ever discussed this here.

I really miss Dale. You would think after this many years the pain would go away. But I grew up with him and looked at him as a hero.

Am i the only one?

Surely some of you diehards feel the same way. He was the Man.

Tear up everytime i see the crash and hear DW say i hope he's ok

[Squirrel]

Coldnt stand him. But with that said was happy to see him win the Dayton 500 and was watching when he crashed. Would have to say right before that point I was rooting for DEI to sweep and him come in 3rd. Just didnt happen though. :(

I'm with you Young. A damn shame....

there ya go

Dale made what NASCAR is today. It sucks his son cant fill those shoes :(

[Ares d9]

Sure, I miss him. But people need to do like Dale Jr. said and just get over it already.

No.

People fail to realize just how special Earnhardt was, a true legend. 7x Cup Series Champion and the greatest NASCAR driver ever. You can just now start to see how loved and admired he truly was.

Do you think Dale Jr has won NASCAR's most popular driver award 10 years straight off his lack of accomplishments? By being a mediocre driver, 80+ race winless streaks, spanning 2.5 years? No, it's because of his last name; Earnhardt. The Intimidator is a legend, and his popularity lives on through his son.

My mom died when I was 14, perhaps I have a little different perspective, but I don't miss him at all.

He brought a lot of excitement to a sport that's lacking now, but personally I couldn't care less.

And 7x series champ is the record, until Jimmie Johnson breaks it.

Not a chance.

dude, really with that avatar?

[YoungPanthers89]

he will get to 7 but jimmie wont be considered one of the greatest of all time

[Jackofalltrades]

Jimmie is already considered one of the greatest of all time.

Chad Knaus doesn't get his due, Jimmie would be lucky to have one or two championships without Chad.

[Jackofalltrades]

Where did I say it was all Chad?

I didn't, thank you.

I never said anything about Jimmie being overrated either, now did I?
