Top 10 Dale Earnhardt Moments in NASCAR | NASCAR Legends

[@marksmith5771]

A quick little story. In through the 90's I lived on Brumley Road about 1 1/2 from DEI, in Mooresville NC. We had a barn fire and the fire department came to put it out, as is customary an Ambulance was dispatched as well. It was a beautiful black ambulance with very small letters at the bottom of the fender said "This vehicle and equipment donated by Dale Earnhardt. Thanks again Dale.

[@feellucky271]

Neat story. Barn fires are no joke.Our neighbors in Wisconsin barn went up a month or so after haying season back in the 70s and even almost 4 miles away it peeled the paint off our house and set fire to their house and 2 othes near a mile away. They got out what animals they could even while getting burned themselves and til it burnt out all you could do was watch...from far away.. Dale ended up a fine man and a great racer and was my favorite.He left this world with more than he took and made a lot of people happy. RIP #3

I met Dale Sr 3 times in my life. First time was in 1998 at Atlanta motor speedway with my dad, down in the pits on the day of qualifying. He shook my hand and spoke to me for a couple minutes about why I liked racing. The second time was at the Atlanta auto show in 1999, and I suspect he recognized my father (6 '7 300+ pounds, pony tail and big handlebar mustache...he stands out in any crowd) because he hollered out to us to come over and say hi. The third time was a month before the Daytona 500 wreck that took his life. My cousin had somehow managed to meet Dale Jr and started dating him, and I got invited to go to a cookout at the Earnhardts hunting/fishing property. I won't pretend like we were friends, but somehow out of all the faces Sr ever saw and hands he shook and people he met...he managed to remember some scrawny little kid every time. At first I like Sr because my dad did, then I liked Sr because I thought he was a badass, then I loved Sr because he was a genuine guy and never tried to be anything he wasn't.

[@daleearnhardtsmustache3984]

Did you notice how I said great racer and not great father? I know he wasn’t a good father. I watched Kerry say he was given up for adoption and doesn’t like talking about those years his biological father wasn’t in the picture. Kelley and Dale Jr’s stories about how he wasn’t there for most of their childhood, because of him racing. Like their high school graduation, and the story of both of them being sent military school. Dale Jr talking about trying his best to make his father proud of him and failing many times. He yearned for his father’s attention and hardly ever got it. Dale Sr was a very strict disciplinarian type father. He was a great racer, but a terrible father. Always know it alls on here for fuck sake. I admire the driver accomplishments of him, but the parent aspect of him, I despise.

[@fatpatlives1998]

To be fair dale tried to make up for his shortcomings as a father to his first 3 kids towards the end of his life. He jump started dale Jr career and had Kerry in a arca car in 2000 if dale doesn't die I think he would have made up for time

[@daleearnhardtsmustache3984]

Elijah barber he definitely tried at the end. Even found his first son and reunited him with his half brother and half sisters. Kerry, Kelley, and Jr were all on a late model team in the mid-late 90s.

[@theredheadchronicles17]

My uncle worked closely with Dale as his personal cameraman in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. They definitely earned each other’s respect. At first, my uncle said Dale didn’t really want to waste time getting pictures and video and stuff like that that they had to do for NASCAR promos, but my uncle just told him, “This is my job. I have to do my job, just like you have to do yours.” Dale really warmed up to him after that and began to ask for my uncle whenever he needed a personal cameraman for interviews or other promo materials. It made my uncle so sad, and so many others around the world, when Dale ran his last race, but damn if he didn’t go out doing what he loved. Fantastic racer. It looks like nothing from the stands sometimes, but picturing yourself in one of those cars-the adrenaline rush must be insane. These guys put their lives on the line for the sport they love.

Let me just say that there were so many "antics" that he was known for, even by the other drivers that he wrecked or "rattled", even they couldn't hate him. The bear hugs, headlocks, asking the other guy if he's still pi**ed off at him for what he did, to possibly the best ever reply after Ned Jarrett apologized to Dale for his being biased when Dale Jarrett beat him...Earnhardt's response: "Why apologize? Don't forget...I'm a Father, too"... What other sport can boast having someone like Dale Earnhardt? I didnt think so...

The main reason that racing was so great during these times was the fact that the cars were not plastered to the track. Look how high off the track these cars sit. That allows air flow underneath the car and virtually eliminates the "aero racing" that you see today. These cars relied on horsepower for speed- not aerodynamics. This made for the incredible racing you saw during this era.

Mike Joys voice cracking,he's so emotional as was D.W. calling Mikeys win and Jrs.2nd.place on The Day. D.W. knew it was serious but was so happy for Mikey,his little brotther. I never watched another race sad to say. Peace

I was watching the race Dale Earnhardt senior when he hit the wall 🧱 And close his life

[@martinneps9387]

This is one man I wish I had the opportunity to shake his hand and get to see that smile he was the baddest man Driving 4 wheels he was the best and in my eyes he will always be the best

[@jamesdillard3583]

Happy Birthday to the best driver ever lived. I wish he was still alive

[@hiphopguru81]

#4 Bristol. How the hell did he save that when he got back bumped and went squirrelly. That's why he was the best. I honestly don't think anyone else could have saved that. Holy smokes he was badass!

Dale Earnhardt is my childhood hero and a favorite.

Hearing Buddy Baker call him “Ol Ironhead” during races >>>>>>

[@clintjohnson4947]

Watching Dale in the 80 and 90 was something special to watch loved to watch him race

[@docproc144]

Raise hell, praise Dale. 🙌

[@southwestwifarm3516]

Man this take me back to my childhood watching nascar with my dad, our favorite was always dale sr, my dad stopped watching the day he died, brings back a lot of happy memories watching this

[@BoredAtWork2000]

The good ole days of NASCAR when there wasn’t 23 yellow flags in the last 2 laps.

[@chickenjo23]

That's because Danica Patrick wasnt racing then. Lol.

[@BoredAtWork2000]

chickenjo23 ahhh...so true.

[@MrCstone1]

I'm beginning to think this yellow flag trend has trickled all the way down to dirt track racing

[@mikehughes8302]

Best there is,best there was,and best that ever will be. I still remember the day he died. Mainly because before that race in an interview he said, " today y'all are gonna see something that you've never seen before." Gives me chills still... Long live the Intimidator RIP DALE

[@cj4cena]

Was born in ‘94 I remember the day of his accident I was in Charlotte at the time all my family got together and we went to his house was a sad day for sure he was nascar for me

[@tonyzone8999]

My dad and I cried when he slammed that wall. We both knew immediately he was no longer going to be with us! I’m going to miss the king of racing! Sure made nascar great to watch back then

[@stevenwalker9013]

Number 3 on this list is the best driving you will ever see!! Amazing will to win. Bill obviously had a better car but dale was not going to let him around. Bill got into him 5 or 6 times sent him to grass and he never lost the lead. Amazing!!!

[@eligebrown8998]

Miss these days. After he passed and the interdiction of Toyota Nascar went down hill. I haven't watched a race since 2005. That Daytona win was freakin awsome. Daytona eluded Dale for years. Loved how everybody lined up to congratulate him.

[@GeekBoyMN]

My favorite Daytona 500 was when Dale finally won it. So sad he's gone now. I can only imagine how the racing world would be if he was still around. At least safety was improved after his death, so something good came of it.

[@georgewaters8592]

whoa !! that race from I think 1987... @ 12.00 minutes or so.... that brought back great memories, as I was going to NASCAR races back then, all the cars, and especially Tim Richmond as he ran real hard too !! Forgot that Wrangler was Dale's sponsor back then, but seeing this video I immediately remembered it then, along with the areocoupe monte's

[@julianrdz]

There will never be another one like number 3

[@163pete]

My first time at a live race and it was Daytona the year Dale Ernhart took the 500. And when he got out of his car he and I were wearing the same red hat. Wow-what a race it was. Great memories of that day.

[@micklesnyder5503]

The tragic death of Dale Earnhardt was the end of NASCAR for me. Even if Dale Earnhardt did not win, he made the race exciting. Dale Earnhardt was the epitome of racing. Nascar hasn't been the same since. Rest in 5 Earnhardt.

[@Phillycheese28]

I wish i was born around 1990.My dad is a huge Nascar fan,even if i get bored watching i do have my favorite drivers.I was 7 around the time Dale passed but i wish i could had watched him when i was a little bit older.He seems like a helluva fun guy to know and an amazing driver.I am however glad to go back and see the amazing stuff he has done

[@timmccreadie328]

Dale Earnhardt was nascar... RIP the intimidator

[@indycustommade3568]

I was at the 1995 Brickyard race. That was my very first Nascar race that I went to and Dale won. I was sitting in the stands right across from his pits. What a race it was. Nascar just isn't the same without him. He was a true Legend.
