I am still shedding tears after hearing he prayed before every race that nobody would get hurt. After his death everything changed in NASCAR to make safety a priority.
SR was the boss.he was great for nascar.he was just the intimidator on the track.he was a softy and did a whole lot for charity stuff and never told anyone,very humble.I sure miss watching him race.
To alot of people it may have seen he was hard on Dale jr and Kelly but in fact he had it figured out just rite look at his children today there beyond outstanding. Jr had a little bit of a wild streak while he was younger that's just part of being young and he lost his hero/farther and suddenly had the weight of the sport on his shoulders. Everything he had to endure would had broken a normal man instead it only made him stronger. And it didn't hurt having a good family support system around and a wonderful wife to be and know a farther with Amy. Sr would be such a proud parent of his children had he survived to see them mature in to the people they have become.
Everytime I see a video like this on Dale Sr it just makes me miss him more. Trust me, its been almost 20years I'm sure he would've retired long ago but I would still love to see him around giving us his 2cents on any subject matter!
At the beginning of the 2001 season from what i heard Dale signed a contract extension to 2005 and knowing Earnhardt he would race till his body didn't let him so most likely i think he would of retired by 2009 or 2010 at most.
I still enjoy a race from back n the day when there were no restrictors or speed limits and Dale was running hard. Thanks to those that post those old times for old race fans like me to enjoy. My favorites was when Dale made Bill cry all the way home.
I totally agree with what Dale's sister Cathy said. I think the same way about my dad who passed at 59. I never had to see him as an old man. He will always be 59 in my heart.
we love u dale and miss you so much.i know your no# 3 will be in victory lane this year.They have a awesome driver for your car.hes going to win the Daytona 500 and this years championship.happy birthday Dale.we love you.Im still sad over your death.i know your racing in heaven.
Nascar should take a page from this video nascar is not nascar no more see i live in nc wilkesboro back in my dads day and grand paws day A man could go out and race you cant do that now if you dont come from a famliy with money you dont race in nascar vary few race car drivers now a days But god bless dale he was the core of this sport people loved him hell even the people that did not like him can tell you he was nascar
Living here in carolina.. and having worked as a fabricator in Nascar i have seen the decline and the many reasons why. Nascar knows the problem and doesnt care.. its greed now
This is sad for me to watch. I got into nascar in spring 2000 Atlanta race beating Bobby Labonte. Sad i never got to experience his legacy in the 80s and 90s. RIP Dale Earnhardt 🏁
It wasn’t until after SR’s death that the stories about his charitable acts started coming out. He never wanted anyone to know about what he did, he did it to give back, not for the publicity. I remember one story about a local church that needed some help with renovations and such and Sr paid to have the parking lot repaved. He told the minister to not tell a single person that he was the one that paid for it. If he did, he said he would come back one night with his front loader and “take the pavement back”. Really miss him, there aren’t enough men like him around these days.
bryancurtislyles12 things would have been a lot different if Sr hadn’t died. Not only did Jr lose his father, but he lost his father’s legacy when DEI was stolen from him. Jr had to basically start over, but without his greatest supporter. I remember Mark Martin talking about Jr during the season of his second Busch championship. Mark said that the way Jr raced, how he was very aggressive, that he thought Jr would be even better than Sr was. Many other drivers, including Rusty Wallace and Darrell Waltrip, said similar things. I can’t imagine getting back into a race car after losing your father like that, it took a lot of guts, much more guts than sitting behind a keyboard making fun of someone.
If Dale Sr had not got killed Dale Jr would have been almost impossible to beat Sr forgot more about raceing than the rest of the ones and driver's ever knew
why not seeing jr had his home and being doing famers workings as his dad had doing it now, and racing cars jr inc is cool as his dad own inc , if it me robert trying to get back his dad old shop and the home too, he and kelly own old toys and others stuff too, as for the outsides why not uesd it for a meeting for others and seeing the ols cars too,
The day nascar changed !! An not for the better ! Ratings are down the excitment of the sport totally withered away !! To many rule changes an spoiler packages an utter nonsense for tv an money in my opinion let them be drivers they all know the risk of this great sport !!!
jack dickey rubbings still racing jack! Did you see the end of the race on Sunday!? Let go of the past jack. It’s okay. NASCAR is different, everything is different. Doesn’t mean it’s not exciting in its own way.
Dale you probably have rolled over in your grave due to the way nascar has gone! It’s sad bubba smallet and no rebel flags!!!!! A southern flag don’t mean your a racist!!!!
Whats makes a 50 year old man miss a man this much that he has never met 20 years after he has died?
I am still shedding tears after hearing he prayed before every race that nobody would get hurt.
After his death everything changed in NASCAR to make safety a priority.
Today Dale is 69 happy bday old man.
Greatest. Driver. Ever
I will never stop missing the Greatest driver ever. I love Dale Earnhardt and his family
He was good, no doubt about it. But the GOAT? No, not at all. That's be, Jimmy J.
@@bryancurtislyles12 Jimmie Johnson is not even close to Dale Sr the greatest all-time get over it child
#3. Forever!!!! He will never be replaced by anyone else!!!!!

KK85 i know exactly what you mean I think it would be an interesting “what if” if he would have done cup racing commentary
At the beginning of the 2001 season from what i heard Dale signed a contract extension to 2005 and knowing Earnhardt he would race till his body didn't let him so most likely i think he would of retired by 2009 or 2010 at most.
Nascar wouldn't be such a joke if he was still around, he would of led us in the right direction

Dale was a great driver and the most feared on a race track. Got to meet him at martinsville speedway. RIP to the goat. Will always be a fan.

Nascar should take a page from this video nascar is not nascar no more see i live in nc wilkesboro back in my dads day and grand paws day

I, LIke The Earnhardts,Family-Roots! MissJean Sarles
Can you imagine the dynasty he would have added on had he not crashed??? Jesus...
He created a dynasty despite the crash.
Nice photo.
4:30 ....very poetic....
Well, Jr. never, "kicked his butt," hahaha.

Puff piece
I think he was hard on him and jr knew he would never be better than his dad as a driver.
5:10 I used to think he could've slowed down a little and let Schrader pass and then gas it but I now think it wouldn't have been possible.
It sure fuckin sucks when your dad dies on you,it hurts like he'll,dale jr. I know what to it feels like.
If sr didn’t pass away Jr wins multiple championships at dei
Why TF do we have to relive the wreck every time there is a DE video?
1:16 i think dale jr recently told thid story on dale jr download
What documentary is this from?
ESPN: Ultimate NASCAR, Vol. 5 - The Families. One of the best documentaries about NASCAR. Better than a Hollywood movie drama.

Thank you. I was wondering when someone was going to respond to my comment. Once again, thank you.
He didn’t take anything away from petty
If Dale Sr had not got killed Dale Jr would have been almost impossible to beat Sr forgot more about raceing than the rest of the ones and driver's ever knew
What program is this from?
why not seeing jr had his home and being doing famers workings as his dad had doing it now, and racing cars jr inc is cool as his dad own inc , if it me robert trying to get back his dad old shop and the home too, he and kelly own old toys and others stuff too, as for the outsides why not uesd it for a meeting for others and seeing the ols cars too,

jack dickey it’s still exciting. Old people just struggle to let go of the past.
@@MuddyPuttersDG that is a very valid point but on the other hand your just to young to remember when rubbing was racing !
