Dale was my driver back in the day, me and my father in law at the time where watching the race that day, he was a gordon fan, but we always was for which ever one was winning, true legend, and he should be buried where his family can visit him, that's sad
Growing up my Pop was a Dale Earnhardt Fan which made me a Earnhardt Fan. The Intimidator Will Always Be The G.O.A.T.!!!!
Dale will always be a legend of course his Son Dale Jr had also a incredible career been a fan forever it's crazy even his family can't visit his grave I see why Dale Jr didn't like Theresa this was a great video thanks for the awesome job Jordan it's also cool how they named a street after Dale
That has got to be the most life like statue I’ve ever seen. That looks just like Dale.
I loved that man. He was the greatest.
it is
Those words, 'he could see the wind', were just so emotive. Many thanks Jordan for this great tribute.
Thanks for the video. You'd of thought he was 9 feet tall when he was on top of his game. Never Ever will there be another driver like him. Rest in Peace Dale.
I’m not into NASCAR, but I would hear of Dale and it’s so sad his kids cannot visit him. His wife should at least have some type of heart, those are his babies. Thanks, Jordan!
She is a typical wicked stepmother, obviously. If they aren't her children, they are OUT.
Dale Earnhardt Sr was my idol ! I'm glad you did this! Thank you
A true legend indeed!!!😊 My family was such fans of Dale!! My boys collected so much memorabilia that they dedicated a special Christmas tree to just Earnhardt ornaments we have proudly displayed that tree every year for 30 plus years! Thanks for a great video!
DEI hasn't been open in many years, long before Covid. I live just a few minutes down the road and go past it multiple times a week. Yes, Jr. used to live across the street from DEI but, after the Cribs episode, too many lookie loos were stopping to stare, so he moved, and the new owners changed the facade so it wouldn't be as easily recognizable. At the time of Dale's death, he had Dale Jr., Michael Waltrip and Steve Park driving for him. I believe, the very next week after Daytona, Steve Park won the race. I visited the shop numerous times while it was functioning and it was such a cool place. As for Teresa, I don't know her or anyone directly connected to her, but I can say she does not have a good reputation around here. Our local amusement park had a roller coaster called The Intimidator, named after Dale, of course. This year, they had to take all branding off and rename it. RUMOR has it that Teresa wanted too much money for the rights, so Cedar Fair chose not to pay. But again, it's a rumor and completely unsubstantiated.
DEI is a limited admission museum now and probably barely open at that. She sold all the racing side to Chip Ganassi. DEI was specifically created for or around Dale Jr. And when Jr left for Hendricks, she basically left the racing business to drown. Dale Jr got the last laugh though, his net worth is 10x what his father's was.
Dale Sr. was a force to be reckoned with. Some people loved him others didn't. He was trying to protect Dale Jr. when the accident happened. I was watching the race and it looked like a regular Nascar accident. I couldn't believe later we heard Dale Sr. had died. I know the family members didn't get along well with each other. Rests in peace to those we have lost. J found out after he died that have a black beanie baby for Dale Sr. The rain is fitting for visiting the Earnhardt's Thank you. Jordan for the great video Stay safe and take care always.
My favorite Earnhardt moment was in the late 80’s. Dale was signing autographs for a charity event. There were several great drivers signing as well. Dale was signing for only one hour before having to go to other functions. Dales line was by far the most busy, and he was signing a stack of photos that were for that event. He would sign one and slide it to you as you came by, he was trying to get to as many folks as possible. When I came to him I had my own picture I had brought along for him to sign and not knowing how the flow was happening at the time I handed him the photo, I think I was the only person he looked at directly in that whole hour. Dale looked up at me with this piercing glare as to how dare you interrupt the flow I had going, he took my photo though and signed a beautiful autograph that remains one of my most treasured pieces I have collected. That look he had would cut right through steel!
Hahaha!! That's awesome!
I remember watching the race live when it happened. It was crazy. His statue looks exactly like him!
My Dad was a big race car fan watching the races on TV all the time. When the races were on, we would ask "is Dale Earnhardt winning?!" Of course we were devastated at the time of the accident. Love these videos & they bring back good memories.❤
I miss that man everyday. 😢 I think about him all the time. I love that nascar put out old races on RUclips, so I've been watching the man race.
Being the avid race fan that I am, for 54 of my 57 years, I thank you for the Petty and this Earnhardt video(s). Met Dale couple times, Kyle and many more drivers. Been to many, many races, have their autographs, even did the RP driving experience at Talladega, my favorite track. My daddy, my hero..I am definitely a daddys girl, took me to my first race when I was 3. Thank you for all your vlogs for I am an avid fan of yours too! 🏁
my step dad loved watching him on TV I miss my step dad great man he was good friend too
Great video. There's a dirt road just beyond the main home gate another RUclipsr drove up and you can see the house from a fence
Rain or shine... Jordan the Lion is always doing his best. Thank you sir. I'm very appreciative.
Thank you so much for braving the rain to do this for us. This was fantastic. Love the Earnhardt family. Dale was our favorite driver. Hearing you share the story about Michael & their friendship made me remember the movie documentary In the Blink of an Eye. It's the story of Dale & his friendship with Michael & then the race where he passed away. It's done really well & is a behind-the-scenes of sorts story. Hope you don`t get sick from getting drenched in the rain.💙☔
I've been loving these Nascar videos. I've been a Nascar fan sense 1992 .. Dale was my hero
I grew up as a Huge Dale Earnhardt fan, thank you for making this video.
Howdy There

We need a president like Dale was to racing!
I would agre
We had one and nobody appreciated him.
AMEN!!!!!
🙄🙄🙄
Really enjoying your racing videos. Occasionally, it's obvious you are new to NASCAR, but it's much more obvious you've been doing your homework. You're not just filming to make money. You actually care about the subject matter. Respect!
I appreciate that.. I am definitely new to it, but I really am enjoying all the old stories the more I hear.. the one about dale scoping out the junkyard during the day, so he could hop the fence at night to get what he needed, but couldn't afford.. thats a man who wanted to race!
Rain shmain, thanks for taking the time to visit the town of a racing legend.🏎️
Very kind of you
No one really knows a family's dynamics except the family. Try not to judge. He obviously loved his wife and his parents family. Hope they can all come together and put the past in the past...life is short! Thank you, Jordan!
He also loved his mother, his sister, his son, and daughter. There was also his NASCAR team that she destroyed.
Thank you Jordan I was watching that race and my mom was so upset then she left April 26 2001 sad year
My father was a Ford Guy.
He was born in North Carolina in 1918. During a rainy Sunday in Baltimore, when I was a kid watching Dale go around the track on the floor model tv, my father said "I bought a car from the Earnhardts." I laughed and said "sure you did." After reuniting with family after his death, I find out that story was most likely true.
I ended up a Joe Gibb's Racing for a Nascar sponsored event. It was pretty awesome.
Such a great video! Thanks for the dedication of even getting soaked to film! Blessings to you, Katie and Jah. ~Love&Light♥️C.
Great video, sir. In 1990, in my 20s, I spent 6 months living in Mooresville, and would go out to a restaurant, the name of which I can’t remember, where some of the drivers hung out. I think it was on the left on 150, headed west, not far after crossing 77. I remember Michael Waltrip was in there on night when I was there. It was from there that Robbie Moroso left, headed on west on 150 and missed the right hand turn. He died in that crash. Then I spent through the end of 1995 a bit north of there in Statesville. There is an outlet store called “JR” there, and I was told that Dale Earnhardt would come up there and buy his cigars. He flew out of the little airport there in Statesville to the races each weekend too. I went out there once to look through the fence at his airplane. If memory serves, it was a black King Air turboprop.
One of my favorites. Thanks for braving the elements to make this vlog for us.
Deer Head Shop
I was never a fan of 3, but I am fascinated to see the inside of that shop. I've heard his car was destroyed
I followed Dale since his rookie season in 79,roy( rookie of the yr). What a ride, shed a few tears that Sunday ,not ashamed to say. Thanks Jordan.
Not was a FULL Time fan of Nascar BUT DALE MUCH LOVE!! Damn that was messed up!!
The day Dale died it was mine and my husband's anniversary. We stayed home and cooked on the grill and watched the race. It was such a shock when they came on the news and said he passed away. 😢 I have his funeral taped on a VHS tape. Thank you Jordan for sharing this. I didn't know where he was buried. That's interesting. You gave a lot of great information about Dale Earnhardt. 3❤🖤
That's a nice statue of Dale earn hardt he was a good race car driver I would love to see it in kannapolis good vlog jordan
Thanks for doing this Jordan. I’m a huge Earnhardt fan and love the history of this racing family.
Jordon, hope you enjoy your visit to NC. You are welcome back anytime.
My mom is an avid Dale fan, her entire house has memorabilia still. I remember the day he passed I was so confused seeing my mom cry about this random guy on television. Thanks for the video, I'll be sending it her way ❤
She wasn't the only one,I used to get all my memorableia out. My hats, cars whatever I had w/ #3 on it. That Sunday I passed by & my car had been put on its roof. I asked my roommate why he did that,he said watch & you'll find out. Two hrs later he was gone.
@@richardmorris7063that’s so eerie
Dale wouldn’t want his kids to be treated the way they were. Teresa is truly evil and is distroying everything Dale built. It’s truly sad situation all around.
Amazing lifelike statue. I watched tge race and didn't think it was that bad. I was shocked to find he had been killed. I remember he refused to wear the new safety helmet in favor of his regular old racing helmet he always wore. The new one may have saved his life.
Dale Jr and Teresa had their differences
After my Uncle passed away a brick was bought in his honor.
He got played by Teresa.
@@litt222 A real testament to what love can do to you, even a tough man like the Intimidator!
Thanks for this vlog. I live 20 mins from Kannapolis. Welcome to NC. Dale Earnhardt Jr used to live, and I believe he still does, off Winthrow Creek Rd on a property my father used to own.
Great vlog, Jordan. It's a real shame that you were unable to gain access to DEI. I can understand why Teresa would want Dale Sr's. grave kept private, but not the race shop. I don't believe that's what Dale Sr. would have wanted. Dale Jr's. Dirty Mo Download and the interview that he did with Graham Bensinger last year are great sources of first hand into on the late, great Dale Earnhardt. 🏁#3
I am a huge nascar fan! Thank you for doing this!
Great vlog. So many stories I didn't know about. Theresa won't let Dale jr visit the deer head shop. I was watching the end of the 2001 Daytona 500 and saw the wreck. That is the day I became a fan. Such a sad day for his fans. We did visit the statue but didn't have time for all the other things you showed. Thank you.
😊❤ This was very interesting and awesome thanks for sharing this I enjoyed watching it plus Dale Sr and Jr were my favorite drivers over the years, plus it was so 😔 that Dale Sr passed away I saw that happened to him on tv such a tragic event plus many other drivers are gone but not forgotten
THANK YOU JORDAN FOR THIS GREAT VIDEO !!!! I GREW UP IN THE 60S AND LOVE OLD CARS ONLY AND I RACE ON THE QUARTER MILE... HOPE YOUR PUPS DOING GREAT!!! I THOUGHT YOU HAD BLONDE HAIR,,, THE RAIN MADE IT BLACK AND WET.. HA!!! PEACE....
Nice work! NC welcomes you back anytime sir!
Jordan thank you I enjoyed this very much. I still feel shocked that he died in that race. It seemed unreal to me he would die in that type of wreck. He is missed!
Thanks Jordan! go get a warm lunch!
You was right loved the last two videos 👍Thanks Jordan
Great job on this video. So sad that DEI just sits like that. We visited jr motor sports when we were in the area. Great place.
Thanks for the awesome video I never know anything about him I enjoyed watching
There were only 2 racers i ever watched a full race of, Ricky Rudd and Dale Earnhardt. RIP.
I'd have to agree with you about the statue next to Stevie Ray Vaughan's in Austin Tx. It's a must see!
NASAR died the day Dale died. It has never been the same.
Agree
Dale. The day real racing died.
Wasnt for Dale safety wouldnt have been a factor
I agree when jr retired it for sure died
So true, When Dale Sr. left us, NASCAR began it's downward spiral. I have not watched a race since that day, it's not the same without him.
Thanks again for sharing Jordan and Jah
Thanks Jordan, another awesome one!❤❤🐾🐾🐾
Great video Jordan. You always do such a great job on anything you video thank you
Great vlog! Thanks for going in the rain for us!
You did such a good job, with this videos. Much respect to you.
I live in SC and took my Mom to visit Dale's statue back in 2017, and guess who we ran into? Martha Earnhardt! She came over and introduced herself to us and took a photo with us and even asked if we wanted her to stand beside the statue and monument so we could take her photo beside them!! She was beaming with pride for both Dale and Dale Jr. when I told her I was a huge fan of his!! Such an amazing woman!!!! It was fate that we went on that day! A memory I'll treasure forever!
I enjoyed the video Jordan and thank you for sharing.
I was such a fan of Dale that when he died I could not watch NASCAR for over a year. Great video thanks for posting. I was able to go to DEI Incorporated years ago, sure glad I did.
My wife and I were up there for 3 days.,.went to Volusia,New Smyrna and to the 125 mile Duels on Thursday. Came home to watch the 500 on T.V. She cooked a big ole Steak with all the trimmings.....couldn't eat it. Could not get it in my thick head that he was gone. That was one messed up day. Far as i'm concerned NASCAR died that day also.
@gregorygolden1296 It seems Dale's death was a major nail in Nascar's cofin.
Jordan in case you didn't know Dale Earnhardt's famous "Deer Head Shop" where he kept all of this mounted Deer Heads and was the original DEI shop veifr he built the bigger modern one is the white building behind the current DEI shop you go back through the main entrance and you can't miss it.. has not been open been locked up or touched since Dale's death
I’ve heard that but hopefully that’s not true. Buildings need to be maintained. If there’s a leak or something they need to be able to catch it before it ruins anything that’s kept in there.
The strife within the family is very sad to have no access to a Father’s grave. Obviously we do not know the particulars but still, so sad.
Could there ever be a reason good enough that one should keep someone's children and family from a grave? I say no. It only makes her and her people look very small.
@ridingtheroad185 agreed. There should never be a reason to block his kids from visiting their fathers grave. It's so classless.
@@tnkrbelleif I were the family, I would demand to have access. It takes 2 to tango.
the public can't visit Dale's grave . it is off limits for the fore seeable future
the only people allowed at Dale's grave are the landscapers
LOVE Dale Earnhardt! Been binge watching everything D.E. recently and showing my sons. I know where i was watching the race when he passed. Then the next week watching that race at gaylord when junior wrecked. Wasnt meant for him that TIME BUT when junior did win months later--> woo hoo! And michael waltrip pulling up to finally really celebrate with him. Tears poured omg!
We may not understand some things like decisions theresa has made but memories can not be taken from his children. Ever
Great video. Thank you👍💯🙏❤️
When my father passed it was only right to have a picture of dale on the back of his huge black headstone that looks like the one in the video on the back is a picture of dale his number 3 car and the world's thank you dale "roger" love and miss my daddy and dale also i have a nationwide children's hospital 88 hat autographed by dale jr.
Tomorrow is Dale's 73rd birthday. I saw him run at Texas, Michigan, and Talladega. I have 4 autographs from him.
Never forget the country boy who became a living legend by turning a steering wheel
Great video deal. Earnhardt is actually the only racer that I know about and of course his son Dale Earnhardt Junior.
I use to live on Dodge street.. she was our neighbor
Thank you for this documentary. It’s obvious that you have done your homework. Learnt a lot more today because of this.
heyyyy this is awesome! thank you!
Been 20yrs since I’ve been there. Went to every one of those places. Also was able to sign the tribute trailer got a lot of memorabilia. Now that my kids are grownup and moved out. One room has all his and some of Jr things on display. While in Kannapolis I asked around about the famous pink car. If anyone knew they weren’t telling 😊 maybe you know? Thanks for the info I plan on going back in the very near future.
Great job on the video.
Outstanding!
Dale was always my guy when I was a kid. My hero. He died when I was 12. I was a fan since my earliest memories growing up. All my childhood birthday parties were Dale Earnhardt themed. I was Dale for Halloween once. All my favorite shirts were Dale shirts. I was devastated when he passed. Like losing a family member. My dad and I stayed up watching the news for updates. I remember the press conference. I remember crying on the steps of my bunk bed and my dad shedding tears. He was the hero for the everyday person. Today, he’s still my hero. Yes I still watch nascar. I take my kids and wife to Dover every year. We live 5 mins from the Monster Mile. I show up every year with a Dale Shirt and Hat. I will never wear anyone else at a NASCAR race.
Great vlog Jordan. This family has so much going on between them. That’s a shame. I always heard that the greatest Earnhardt racer besides Dale Sr was his daughter Kelly. She stopped racing when she started her family.
Honestly, it's great! When I go on my trip to the United States, these are the restaurants and this is the itinerary I'll prioritize to visit and experience where you live. Thank you very much! Greetings from the south of France. God bless you!
Theresa isn't liked by ANYONE. not in Kannapolis, mooresville, NASCAR. she ruined DEI completely. Rest in Peace, Dale. but that wife of yours, what a cow.
Whoa!
What do you mean she ruined dei
@@nickforest7816 dale earnhardt inc. ran dales children out of the business. the "musuem" is rarely open. just look online.
Amazing video.. ❤
When Dale died there was a family fight. Maybe Dale did not get along with some family members. We will never know. The wife should be ashamed.
When Dale died, there was a fight, but did you ever think about the fact that the wife was the reason that people did not always get along the last Mrs. Earnhardt was not a fan favorite of anybody’s
@@pslyarnbarn evidently u did not read my comment
@pslyarnbarn only between Teresa, Kelley, Kerry and Dale Jr.
@@shaunstrasser1 thank you.
he got along with them when matured
Love Dale and I have been to his statue many times and I have family and friends in Kannapolis too! Love Nascar racing and Nascar racing history too!!! Love the documentary too!
Thank you Dale Earnhardt
I was at Daytona when he crashed and died. It was a horrible scene. Rest in peace Dale.
Beautiful, that’s who we create status for. God bless, a true hero and role model to be respected.
Excellent Video!
Hope you are doing well !! Loved both him and his son racing a great motor sport family, All the best from the UK
He was my favorite driver. I remember the day he died, I cried my eyes out and I normally wouldn't do that but man he was amazing.
The rain I think made the video perfect. Great job
Thank you jordan, Dale Earnhardt in my opinion was the Best . I was watching that Day too when He died and i remember feeling like id been hit and my tiers just flowef at yhe dame time. Since then i narely watch because He was " The Show "!!! Love You Always Dale Rarnhardt ! R i p ❤️👍🙏😭🦀🐒♋🇺🇸
This was very well done.
I was able to visit DEI when it was still open in 2005. Sad that the fans can't go in there anymore. From what i understand Richard Childress said he had the car that Dale died in shredded/destroyed.
I live in the same neighborhood as Dale's mom and met her numerous times and the family was even kind enough to let me come in the home, she was a very nice woman and so is the family.
I spy on a step of the house... Great video!
Dale's youngest is Taylor and she would be in her 30's or so by now.
There is no road to Dale's grave. It's just out in the middle of nowhere.
You need to go to the car dealership. That is Kerry's career. Kelley has always been the look out for Dale Jr. Dale Jr would be dead broke without his sister. She runs Jr's affairs , meaning his fan club, his radio show, collectibles and really any kind of venture Jr is in Kelley handles the financials. Taylor has horses and does shows. Not horse racing but like horse jumping or something.
It's sad that Taylor has missed out on this big family. Lots of folks do not like Teresa. Teresa mismanaged DEI after Dale died. The team should have been sold to Childress or merged with someone. When Kulwicki died Geoff Bodine bought the team. Someone should have bought the DEI Team. That started as Dale's Busch Grand National Team and was very successful. Dale won a lot of races in his own car.
Again, the main issue is DEI and that farm are huge properties. They need to be sold at some point. As far as we know there is no money coming in to support these properties. I truly believe Martha's house at some point will be taken over by the Historical Society of North Carolina or by the County. Something positive will happen there. DEI and Dale's ranch are a different story.
Teresa is a "Houston" by birth. Related to Tommy Houston who was a pretty good Busch Grand National driver. Those were the best days of my life. I went to a lot of races. Watch on television. I loved every second of it. Miss it terribly.
They say time heals all wounds. It's been 23 years since Dale passed away and the wounds are not healed. Not going to happen. It could start with Teresa bringing Dale's grave to where his parents are or in the plaza in town. Something.
Thanks again
The only team that stayed alive was their Busch Series program for DEI, and their team was formerly known by Chance 2 Motorsports, Dale Jr. founded the team, but when he went over to Hendrick Motorsports, I have a belief that Dale Earnhardt Jr. must've rebranded Chance 2 to what is now known as JR Motorsports which is currently located in Mooresville, North Carolina.
I personally never visited the place but, JR Motorsports is my favorite Xfinity Series team, and I'm from California as an Earnhardt fan, so that's a good team that I like that operates to this day. And even Dale Jr. hinted multiple times that he'd make a Cup Series team for JR Motorsports, and with JTG Daughtery Racing having sponsorship problems, and whatnot makes me believe JRM might come to the Cup Series but, really I don't know yet, I'm waiting till later into 2024, or maybe before the 2025 season to actually know about the announcement that'll potentially take place for JRM.
Rest in Peace, Dale ❤️ 🙏
There is a # 3 on the front porch steps.. Love this he was my all time favorite every sense I was a little Kid. The The Black # 3 car stole my heart an then the man who drove it became my hero..
I like your channel and videos and have been a fan for years. Started watching this video and heard you say, "Deerhead Barn." It's actually referred to as the "Deerhead Shop." Just thought you'd like to know. Keep up the great work and awesome content. Thank You, Peace, God Bless 🙏😊
