Even more amazing than just walking away from that wreck was that Dale went on two weeks later to win the pole at Watkins Glen, with one friggin arm. There will never be another driver like Dale Earnhardt.

Remember how Earnhardt liked to lean over toward his door when driving, especially on the big tracks. There was no head restraints keeping the driving sitting straight up and down at the time, so he always like to sit kind of slumped over to the left a bit in his seat. And that is the side he hit the wall with. A miracle he lived through that impact.

Me too! I was close to where Earnhart came to a stop. He was to my right. I was happy to see Earnhart knocked out of the race. I'm also happy he wasn't hurt more then he was. That was a hell of a crash. Little did we know at that time he was going to be in another crash nearly the same that would take his life.

If it had been a major like The Masters, I could have understood. The only notable player was Lee Trevino, and he was 3 over par. I ended up having to listen on the radio. They showed it a week later & I still watched it, but it's not the same as seeing it live.

I've never understood why NASCAR allowed him to race again after his 94 crash at MIS. He was already a menace on the track with his vision intact and once he came back with his vision compromised, he became a literal weapon on the race track. Between him and Jimmy Spencer, I am amazed neither of them, especially Irvan since he was in really good equipment, never killed anyone.

It didn't help but there were other crashes that led to several injuries that just built up over time. This is why 1997, 1998 and most of 1999 were down years for him. Before the 2000 season, he got his neck fixed which allowed him to race pain free again and this is why you saw the last splash of greatness and the near championship in 2000. Everyone points to this accident but honestly, the crash he had at Michigan in 1995, while not nearly as spectacular, did more to damage his long term health. According to Dale Jr, he actually broke his neck in that crash because the hit was so hard but it wasn't discovered until a few years later.

Although this wreck looks worse than the wreck at Daytona that took Dale from us. Watch the different angles that Dale hit the wall. Here at Talladega he hits more with the left front, causing the car to kind of glance off the wall and up in the air, allowing energy to dissipate over a larger distance. When Dale hit at Daytona, it was a sold hit and stop with the force of Schrader hitting him in the door before hitting the wall, possibly shifting Dale in the seat and and putting his belts in a awkward position. I miss you Dale, ur were the greatest. Ur still the greatest.

@mattkowal905 жыл бұрын
He had 2 wins up to that point in the season (Rockingham & Atlanta) and was contending easily for the championship, along with 70 Winston Cup wins. After this crash, he only won six more times with four of them being restrictor plate races, and two on unrestricted. This crash definitely contributed to the 59-race winless drought, but his next win was the most coveted as he finally won the Daytona 500 in 1998 after going winless in 1997. If it wasn't for this crash he would have most likely tied Yarborough, Allison, or Waltrip, win in 1997, and maybe win at a few facilities that were added to the schedule.

You are correct. I was super pissed. I could understand if was The Masters, but it was a Senior PGA event. The only notable player in it was Lee Trevino & he was 3 over par.

Dale would have definitely won this race if that crash never happened, he probably would have won a lot more because he wasnt the same after his injures.

I know it was taped but the announcers sound like they knew What happened but we had to find out dales condition from other tv channels that was very frustrating cause i was an earnhardt fan at age 7 almost 8 but that's what tv networks do when they have to have something else on there network that was scheduled at the time but it was a great race til that crash

this wreck or the wreck in the 1998 spring race here a DEGA? both of these wrecks scare the snot out of me for dale sr. I still can't decide on what wreck was the worst!

The only difference between the two wrecks was that Earnhardt was there keeping Elliott's car from ricocheting off the wall. Both equally savage, identical hits and both bad ones for Earnhardt

This was no different than a lot of other crashes at Daytona and Talladega, and Ernie Irvan said it best: "the biggest thing is Dale Earnhardt's involved in it and it draws more attention." 'Nuff said!
