Here's Why HE Was NASCAR's Most FEARED Driver
THE INTIMIDATOR - DALE EARNHARDT
He was the master of intimidation in NASCAR racing.
He was able to drive a car beyond its limits.
He was aggressive; his moves on the track were often controversial.
And his competitors trembled with fear in his presence.
He was Dale Earnhardt, AKA The Intimidator, and this is why he is the Most Feared Driver of all time.
Dale Earnhardt, a regular guy with an extraordinary passion for cars, took his first breath on April 29, 1951, in Kannapolis, North Carolina. Growing up, he was surrounded by the roar of engines and the smell of gasoline, thanks to his dad, Ralph Earnhardt, who was a respected figure in the world of racing. Ralph wasn't just a race car driver; he was a wizard with tools, capable of fixing up cars like they were his own children. And little Dale, wide-eyed and curious, soaked up his father's skills like a sponge.
Even as a youngster, Dale's fascination with cars was unmistakable. While most kids his age were playing with toys, he was busy poring over engines and asking endless questions about how things worked. School wasn't his favorite place, and he eventually decided to drop out in the ninth grade. But his lack of a diploma didn't dim his determination; instead, it fueled his desire to chase his dreams in the fast lane.
In 1973, tragedy struck the Earnhardt family. Ralph, the man who had ignited Dale's passion, passed away from a heart attack. The loss was profound, but it didn't extinguish the fire that burned within Dale. In fact, it seemed to fan the flames even brighter. Two years later, in 1975, Dale found himself behind the wheel of a stock car, ready to prove that the racing genes ran strong in the Earnhardt blood. It was the World 600 race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, and though he didn't claim victory, his journey had undeniably begun.

22 years ago since we lost Dale. Time flies.
I was a kid when he died. It crushed me. I wanted to be a Nascar driver. All I ever wanted. He was the reason. After he died. I couldn't even watch it anymore. I watched jr win his 1st 500. And I was done after that
@@michiganpride389 Yeah i was a kid too. I didn't watch for about 2 years or something. And i always went to a local shorttrack and i didn't even do that.
@@fredschriks8554 I used to have a pretty cool side hustle singing the national anthem for my local dirt track /midget/modified races from the time I was a teenager.. I still did that up until a few years ago. But after this race. When I got done. Instead of staying and watching with my free tickets as a performer. I just packed my stuff and left
@fredschriks8554 I was in middle school... I tried to become a junior fan afterwards.. I couldn't watch a race until they made it back to Daytona and jr won the July race... and even then it was only periodically after that... crazy to think how much someone you have never met or spoken to could impact your life
Excellent. Thanks for this tribute to the absolute legend, Dale Earnhardt!
I don't think there ever was a man who wanted to be a racecar driver more than Dale. And was willing to do anything, and everything, and whatever it took to make sure he became one. Too bad his dad didn't get to see his son become the Legend he is. Ralph is the one who lit the Fire......
Dale Earnhardt will always be the GOAT. The man was as fearless behind the wheel as he was talented. Respected by his peers and beloved by the fans.
He drove from the start, to the end of his career like he had a family to feed when he coulda retired after his second or third championship
That man didn't know how to slow down!
LOVE the aesthetic on this video. If you didn't ask to like and subscribe at the beginning, I would've thought this was a classic VHS documentary.
hey mate, thanks for sharing!
may I ask if that part bothered you ??
your feedback are really important to us....
cheers !!
Jeff Gordon's crew chief, Ray Evernham, told Jeff DO NOT ever mess with the #3 car.
Very cool video I really enjoyed it. The Pennzoil 2K Chaparral is one of my favorites. Thanks again.
After 1984, Richard Petty, stopped winning NASCAR races thank to Dale Sr.
He was the best racer I ever.
there will naver be no one like him
Bro sounds like Ted Nivison
RAISE HELL PRAISE DALE
I was lucky enough, to witness his last win! It was amazing!
Never was an Earnhardt fan, But, you could not deny his impact on a sport. I watched him throughout most of his career and quite often, The main question after the race was where did Earnhardt finish and how did everybody else stack up.
God had to take Dale early or he would practically have the whole sport in his hands (RIP 1952-2001)
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
Ill sup it up for ya youngsters... Dale was one bad ass S O B
My unpopular opinion is he could drive a racecar fast but couldn't race by other cars without wrecking them half the time
3 is the goat
G.O.A.T. 💪🏻
Dale was someone who if you wouldn't let him win he would just wreck or beat your car up for you.his attitude eventually killed him. his son is my favorite driver.just my opinion.
I think Chastain is feared more. Dale was just intimidating, you knew what was going to happen. You fear the unknown hahaha
No. Nobody fears that dude. Nobody fears anyone anymore. When busch and harvick leave nascar will have the last real stock car drivers gone. Larson had talent and came up the right way. Earning it. But he has the personality of a paper towel
@@chadhenderson9732 It was meant to be tongue in cheek. These cars are more like a formula one or Indy car with a modified stock car body. There’s no identity to any of them and I noticed that even more when I was watching a a race from 2003. The Pontiacs had a distinct look from the Chevys, dodges and the Fords looked different from them. I agree that after Harvick is done and now that Kurt is retired there won’t be any real stock car drivers left
The best there was the best there is .rip dale .that's all I got 2say bout that
Some Of The Footage Are From The ESPN 2004 flim 3 The Dale Earnhardt Story (Yes They Make Movies)
I can go down to the local track, jump into a street stock race and quickly become the most feared driver on the track. Doesn't make me a good driver. Never understood why Earnhardt always got a pass on that. Cult of personality I suspect.
There aint no good drivers, only bad. Even the driver with the most wins ever has completely ate shit upside down and out. Danica was pretty good at indy, completely shit the bed in nascar. So is she a good driver or bad? For that chick it clearly depends on downforce lol. So if your talking about fidly fuck Italian perfect turn style driving, yeah dale was terrible, but if we are talking about getting in a nascar and running people off the road at 200mph while still making the same turns, sometimes passing in the damn grass, then yeah he was pretty good, better than you'll ever be at the local track
Dale was a HELLVE OF A DRIVER!!!!!
Excellent Video!
He could “see the air” but it was really he could feel the air pressure change inside the car while in the draft and knew how to work the side draft better than anymore.
On them old luminas chevy wanted revenge on the hotrod Thunderbirds. So chevy wanted ford to look in their rearview mirrors and see animul In it. Spelled lumina
Live by the sword die by the sword.
But why the thumbnail a Buick
wee all miss THE INTIMADTOR may he rest in peas and it ben 22 years sints we all lost him
This guy will always be my Superman!!! Miss ya Big E!!!
Since he passed away, I have not brought myself to watch NASCAR anymore. He was the best driver on the track. Nobody could ever take his place, not even his son.
He was the most feared driver because if you wrecked him nascar find YOU.
Mr. Earnhardt took himself out with his aggressive tactics - when he broke the back end of his own car loose by coming down the track into Sterling Marlin, the left rear of Earnhardt's car colliding with the right front of Marlin's car. Marlin was holding rock steady on the bottom line at the time of contact. D.E. did it to himself, all by himself.
What's the point of this comment? You seem bitter. But over 20 years later, you're still talking about him.
And if he were still alive he’d probably admit that it was his fault. But you know what? He’d probably do it again and try to save the car again because he was a RACER
you're bitter as fuck but it's on hold the 7 championships
NOT all NASCAR drivers feared him.
Besides Ricky Rudd name 1..
DA MAN!!!!!!!!
Earnhardts worst nightmare was Davey Allison
Who?
Nascar Died with him. It became a participation trophy sport
I've watched every style of racing, Dale Earnhardt had the most talent. He could make a car do things that nobody else could. Ayrton Senna was a lot like Earnhardt when other drivers were afraid to push it any farther they would. They were both killed by their passion for racing, but behind the wheel, it was artwork.
@anthonysr5390
Senna and Earnhardt stood at the top because they're passion and dedication to be the best was at another level.
The goat
No one like him prior, no one like him since & probably never will be again...
Lmao , the only person he intimidated was himself !!
Jeff Gordon owned dale from 93 till dales death
Hahahaha false 94 Dale won the title and 2000 Dale was 2nd in points far ahead of jeff try again loser 7 to 4 cry harder
THATS FALSE 7 TO ONLY 4 CRY HARDER
Roflmbo
You 24 fans still won’t give it up.
😆🤣😆🤣😆🤠
NASCAR died when Earnhardt died
Nope in 2006 nascar was at it's peak
@@alexfire53-ze7px Your not wrong about That
Top gun
There is only one The Intmidator , Ironhead 7 time champion. Legend of Nascar. - end of nascar now.
Dale Earnhardt is The best of all time! Save The Intimidator! #3
Kids have Superman for a hero ....
I have Dale Earnhardt!
Not saying he wasn't a very good race car driver but let's face the facts he was feared because he could get away with practically anything on the track without recourse from NASCAR and Bill France. Drivers who retaliated against him feared recourse from NASCAR and his fans. Then if my car wasn't completive enough he cried to his Bill to have the rules changed. Everyone knows it most ignore it.
Rubbing is racing snowflake Dale was the best
He was feared because NASCAR allowed him to wreck others with impunity!
He was not Dale Earnhardt!!
He is Dale Earnhardt fix that !
The intimidator. The best ever no doubt.
I think you ruined this video with the crappy engine sounds. you could have at least used real nascar sounds.... just saying.
He was an on-track bully. END OF STORY
Need a tissue? Why you here if you wernt a fan.. guys been gone for twenty years and youre still whining abouthim. Damn dude. Issues much. Let it go… Greatest driver of his era. Get over it.
A real man does anything to win cry harder
I was not a fan of his but even I have to admit he was the best....here in North Carolina he is more popular than god
Nobody can deny Earnhardt's legacy and natural skill as a driver. But we have to face facts here. He was a dirty low down driver and a bully. No two ways about it. NASCAR let him get away with murder for 2 decades. Now I don't wish illl on anyone but it was almost like it was poetic justice that he went out in a race car. Atonement for all the dirty crap he pulled over the years if you will. But at the same time I honestly don't think there was any other way Earnhardt wanted to leave this earth than behind the wheel of a race car. Regardless of his tactics which I never liked I knew how important he was to the sport of NASCAR. And he in many ways will always be the embodiment of NASCAR racing.
Nascar died when he did. There will never be another like him, not even close.
The only thing he was good at was wrecking anyone to win couldn't win without doing that plane and simple no argument about it. 🤔
Rubbing is racing snowflake
Plenty of arguments about it. Everyone else raced just as hard, but it was for 10th place. He got the attention because he was winning 🤷🏻♂️
He's the greatest racer Nascar ever had rubbing is racing princess
Dale was a cheater ..but .. that's ok ..
Do you really think that? Why? 🙃
@4WheelsChronicles he thinks that because he is an idiot rubbing is racing fans of lesser drivers are mad
And the others weren’t? Is that really your argument?
cope harder
He was dirty AF, and got away with it long after anyone else could!
cope harder
A DEAD HAS BEEN WHO TOOK OUT SEVERAL GOOD CARS FOR A STUPID MOVE
So glad he's gone
HE IS THE GREATEST EVER UR MAD HE WAS ALWAYS BEATING UR FAVORITE
@@nascarfan8891 far from great. He couldn't zip my favorite drivers suit. He's dead man. Get over it
Unfortunately the world is left with you
