Dale Earnhardt Tribute ~~ Lynyrd Skynrd ~~ Simple Man / Freebird

No copyright infringement intended.

[@evanwilliams6406]

Dale Earnhardt was a driver that appealed to the guys who worked all their lives and never asked for anything, they EARNED it and Dale was a hero to them all. He was a hunter and fisherman, and ran his own farm and he drove fast cars for living. He was like those hard working men out in the field and in the factories, and those people loved him for that, he was one of the guys. Even though Dale has been gone for years, he still has a place in the mind of many NASCAR fans and if I ever was to have a race with my die-cast cars again, Dale would always would be in the race. He loved NASCAR, he was NASCAR and helped make it what it was.

[@ViksonMonroe]

I totally agree with you! Love this comment! Thank you!

[@joeyleatherwood3898]

Exactly

[@kyleshiflet9952]

He was and is still a blue collar hero

[@joeyjohnson4826]

Yes 👍

[@Az56818]

NASCAR never been the same for me at least

[@sandrasmith5411]

😢still can't watch that, and not shed a tear, it's been 20 years+, #3, forever

[@ronheiser3248]

Not only the Intimidator died that day, NASCAR died as well. The sport has never recovered from losing Dale and never will. The new generation of drivers can never live up to Dale, Rusty, the LaBontes, the Waltrips, etc.

[@ronlefty]

Especially now, way too many WOKE drivers and nascar officials.

[@maryalverson4079]

And still haven't recovered Dale Earnhardt Sr was the Best Driver Ever In The History Of NASCAR Racing.

[@william1270_]

I agree with you 💯💯 percent.

[@michaelcook2011]

This great man lost his life on the day I celebrated my 19th birthday and I still get goose bumps when I see the video

[@MrBridges88]

Don't mess with E !!

[@kellihardin1570]

I love me some nass 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚗🚗🚗🚗

[@SebastianWoodard]

For the few people that blame Sterling, he didn’t do anything wrong. We all loved Dale and that’s why we’re all here. How can you blame Sterling Marlin?

[@duanedickey1291]

76 years old and I still cry every time!!

[@MrBobjorge]

I have never watched another NASCAR race since that horrible day. He was then and still now my favorite driver ever. I miss him to this day. Rest in peace Dale

[@royalwolfimports355]

I still to this day cannot watch old races with Dale Earnhardt in them without either crying or becoming super emotional, he reinforced my beliefs that with enough work, blood, sweat and tears you do everything and be anything. It resonated with me even more after finding out his farther never wanted him to race and he went and did anyway, he carved his own path and made a legacy out of nothing but a hope, a pray and a hail marry. He become the best because of the drive to prove everyone wrong but in actuality he already proved it to everyone. And everytime I see that jet black number 3 car flyin down the track it brings me back to those good ol days when all you needed was enough determination and yourself to become one of the greats.

[@SpudTater]

Dale wasn't my favorite but he truly was the greatest

[@RonaldFisher-jk8ke]

Dale was my hero. I will never forget him. He was. The best.

[@davidarmstrong7966]

I used to daydream about Dale and ol' DW sitting on the porch with the grandkids running around, talking about the old days - and me as a fly on the wall. Then came February 18, 2001 - the day NASCAR died. I miss him all the time. Nice tribute.

[@ViksonMonroe]

Thank you ❤

[@toddbowser9415]

It was like a family member died February 2001!!

[@ViksonMonroe]

Yes it was!

[@rcracer8872]

Todd Bowser I agree 100 percent

[@kyleshiflet9952]

Yup

[@martyluttrell1631]

my parents were at the 1999 bristol race and watched earnhardt turn around labonte and win the race. this is the best dale earnhardt tribute i have seen

[@bobbybrummett7384]

Dale Earnhardt could see the wind coming off the back of your car

[@scottwilliams1925]

he could hear it not see it but still was something to watch him race

[@boduncan1044]

He could see, feel and hear it. He was the TRUE DRAFT WHISPERER!! #3 Forever

[@ethanweeter2732]

@@boduncan1044Why he wore an open faced helmet even when it was less popular, or one reason he did. He wanted to feel the change in air pressure directly on his face.

[@asd-hc9op]

NASCAR just is not the same with out Dale . I miss him so much. Rest In Peace Dale.

[@moriahfeatherrae8265]

Who else is here today? R.I.P. #3 Always in our hearts 21801

[@jamesmcmullin2863]

If you were lucky enough to watch him at live Races then you would understand how good this man really was. His greatness was not something he raced for. He raced only to win and have fun doing it. He is now racing with God! The ultimate challenger. #RIPDale

[@ethanweeter2732]

I wish I had gone and seen him when he was racing.

[@randytritt4610]

Dale and Ronnie are riding the wings of the southern skies on that Freebird now!!! Both are greatly missed!! RIP Dale and Ronnie!!!

[@ViksonMonroe]

#3 Forever!!

[@randytritt4610]

Vikson yes I agree there will never be another Dale!! #3 Forever!!!!

[@randytritt4610]

Or a Ronnie Van Zant!! Anyone who dnt kno Ronnie shud listen to his interviews and see how great a person he really was!!! 29 is way to young to leave this walk of life for damn sure!!!

[@DonaldWood-nt9jx]

Earnhardt is my favorite inspiration for racing, came from nothing. But faught for the hard working family

[@jcearnhardt393]

Been over 19 years and I just ain't got over losing dale and I dont know why. I didn't personally know him. I guess I just cant let my hero go or something, idk. To say I miss dale to this day is a understatement. Especially watching these whiny lil crybaby spoiled rotten brats of today

[@joeyjohnson4826]

Cuz we never thought we would lose him. You're right. You're not alone they ust don't make them like that anymore brother

[@carrieschwelik5159]

Happy Birthday Dale! You meant so much to a little girl raised in NC who grew up watching you everytime I could!

[@DonaldWood-nt9jx]

Happy birthday

[@tracyfleming654]

I Went to Bristol for twenty years and I went once after Dale passed away. NASCAR died the day we lost Dale.

[@virginiabrooks5698]

Long live THE INTIMIDATER

[@MarlboroGMGoodwrench]

We all miss you Mr Chevrolet you are my hero Dale

[@wadsworthharrington]

NASCAR has never recovered after dales death, but in the end, dale saw his kid and dei for a 1st second place finish and blocked for them to win! Great father, great driver and never another Dale Sr

[@austinpaul9926]

We Need Dale Earnhardt Senior back I really miss his passion for this sport he is a legend that will never be forgotten and I mean never if he's forgotten it's either a hater or someone that don't know shit about the sport R.I.P. Dale Earnhardt Senior you will never be forgotten my man 😖🤘✌️

[@Hits_BitsTheHellHound]

He’s in a better place now probably doing what he loved with his mom

[@carrieschwelik5159]

I will never forget the hero he was to me and the day we lost him.

[@TravisLoneWolfWalsh]

I’m not a nascar fan and don’t pretend to be but I was a fan of Dale Earnhardt and it was tragic the way he died. He was the face of his sport

[@redneckfantasyguy1696]

This is a beautifully done good ass tribute. Hard not to get misty. There will never be another 3, should have been retired. He’s always one lap up

[@ViksonMonroe]

Thank you very much! 💖#3

[@roadrunner7372]

[@shawlewis6492]

We all know dale is racing in the big race track in heaven

[@alfredsnyder4]

I Grew My Moustache Out In Rememberance Of Dale. I Still Get Emotional Because He Sacrificed His Life For The 2 Cars He Owned That Finished 1st & 2nd. Dale Knew Michael Was Gonna Win The 43rd Annual Daytona 500. Dale Was A Hero In Ways You Could Never Imagine. He Was The Hero That Sacrificed Himself For The 2 Cars He Owned.

AMEN!!!!!!🤠

[@springwilgen8120]

Dale #3 will always rule!!! ❤❤❤

[@josephbreeden6137]

If any of you all haven't notice what was very strange and skin crawling. Dale knew his time his chapter or his life was about to come to and end. Watch his last interview on Daytona the day he crashed and died. He said you might see something on fox you never see before......

[@ViksonMonroe]

Right!? Very strange also for him to hold everyone else off of Mikey and Dale Jr. Instead of trying to get around them himself.. He never "let" anyone win without a hell of a fight, not even his son.

[@vintageLEGOcollector]

Go watch the 2001 before race video with Terry, he and Earnhardt was driving the pace car the night before the race and Earnhardt joked on turn 3 and 4 about getting loose down on the apron and shooting back up into the wall.

[@billneice3747]

The best driver of the golden age of NASCAR racing.

[@ViksonMonroe]

Yes I totally agree!!

[@Chrystal_Hendrix]

Beautiful Tribute to Dale. He’s a Legend. I don’t watch NASCAR much anymore. Kevin Harvick is on his last season. I just can’t connect with the drivers who have come into the sport over the past few years no matter how hard I try. The sport has become too governed with NASCAR creating new rules nearly every week. Most drivers these days lack a personality and NASCAR has turned them into puppets on a string. I miss the days when they actually just let them race and let them be theirselves during interviews without fear of being fined for something they said.

[@ViksonMonroe]

I feel the same way 😢

[@jenhall6184]

I remember at a Darlington Race my sister & I didn't want to act like groupie followers so I asked my husband to please take our #3 caps & see if Dale would sign them. That race was in a series of non wins cause Dale had been hurt in a couple of bad wrecks. My husband caught him in the backseat of a car he motioned for him to take him the caps. He signed them we treasure these. Dale we miss you.

[@brandonbohannon3972]

I don't give a damn if you loved or hated that man that night Mike Helton made that announcement you shed a tear or a dozen .... Raise Hell and praise Dale

[@robertwestbrook9344]

In an interview,Earnhardt once said through the seventys he would play Skynyrd's "gimmie back my bullets " every morning to start his day, it motivated him, R.I.P intimidator you're sadly missed.

Bottom line HE IS THE GOAT!!!! Don't need to say no more. I tear up every time too, it's hard not to. If you listen to that interview before the race, with SR. He knew this was it,he said we would see something you ain't never seen on FOX before. R.I.P SR.

[@SebastianWoodard]

Sterling didn’t do anything and I’m sure he feels guilty. It’s just one of those racing things. Dale got aero loose and got into the car inside. Dale corrected and ended up shooting up the track and into Sterling. Sterling was just racing the man, using a bit of side draft to stay with him. It’s the last lap of the Daytona 500. So you really expect the man to just give up on the race?

Lets be honest if he was still be alive he would be Kurt bushks nightmare

[@alexplumb5704]

For 19 Daytona 500 s. I kept saying Dale Earnhardt Sr was going to win. Everything that stopped him from winning happened. Flat tires , running out of gas , getting caught in a wreck. On the 20 th try for Dale Earnhardt Sr and the black # 3. Kept saying he would do it and he did win it. Who knew 3 years later we would lose the Intiimadator. R. I. P Dale Earnhardt Sr. R. I. P.
