If Dale would've survived I'd like to imagine DEI would've been the most successful NASCAR team in history. Also he'd probably have his own RUclips channel and probably a good podcast to go along with it. RIP sir
@@ChromeXuGames 100%. Having all that distraction in the prime of his career definitely hurt. Maybe not 7 rings, but maybe a Jeff Gordon or Tony Stewart level career
@@ChromeXuGames He left DEI to join the BEST TEAM IN NASCAR and did absolutely nothing for the most part. What on earth would make you think he would win multiple championships with DEI when he couldn’t do it with Hendrick Motorsports. Lol
The interview after he wins the daytona 500 he definitely seems like a overgrown kid I wish he could have been around longer to see how nascar has changed and what dei would have turned into I would have loved to hear how he felt about the new gen cars
If he was still alive, DEI Inc. would be alive and winning championships, and also he'd probably be a broadcaster or have a show with cars. He's was car savvy, that's what I think he'd be doing if he was still around.
chris r After all Dale established DEI with his children’s future in mind. Jr is an excellent businessman. Had she just worked with Jr & figured something out, Jr woulda never left DEI. DEI would’ve never had to merge with Chip. Jr had good things planned for DEI, Had step mom just worked with him a bit.
Dale truly understood cars and what being a complete driver meant. A class act, seriously missed. The Senna of stock cars. Could demolish road courses or ovals, he wasn't a one trick NASCAR pony.
Compare his average finish with other driver's average finish on road courses. Dale will come out on top. Dale truly was the best ever in Nascar and there will never be another who can compare.
If he lived, he would have started his Le Mans Corvette team... he always had a passion for it and I would have loved seeing an Earnhardt in a Bad Boy Vette now a days... R.I.P.
Even non-NASCAR fans like me loved that guy. The Intimidator winning races in the beloved C5.R would have been unreal. I have an old boat of a Lumina, and the only planned performance modification for it is a big number 3 sticker lol.
@@0Heeroyuy01 he definitely wouldn't be on board with the c8r and how it's flat plane crank make it sound like a whiney lil ferrari. And forget about the battery electric crap, oh man he would be just disgusted by whatever the mustang is becoming
@@patrickanderson9023 Yeah, Earnhardt Sr definitely would've been a staple of the Corvette Racing lineup, alongside Oliver Gavin, Jan Magnussen, Max Papis and Ron Fellows. He'd have to be.
@@randyhutchinson9910 From what I hear he knew how to fabricate a race car, a skill he learned from Robert Gee and his father. Dale was one of those who appealed to the working man, the guy out in the field, and people liked him for that.
And just like that it was over. What could have been. When he passed away it changed NASCAR forever. He was just starting his 2nd phase of his life. Was Probly gonna retire in the early 2000’s and be a team owner, DEI would have been the team to beat from then till now. Sad ending to a story that wasn’t even told.
I worked weekends a lot when I first started driving semi's. There was a radio station in Tacoma Washington that would play the races and I'd listen as much as possible. I'd listen to Dale's interviews and he all ways struck me as a car guy. Just like me. 2 years ago I was able to buy a Intimidator SS pickup. His dealership in Newton will build anyone an Intimidator out of any Chevrolet that they sell. Dale is gone But his Legend live on.............
If he was still alive, DEI would be the best NASCAR team ever. He would have a podcast, and a RUclips channel. He would have is own car business. Wish he was still here. R.I.P Dale Sr.
Road racers might not realize Dale set the (then) all time track record at watkins glen with one arm functional and the other unable to do anything. He knew road racing. Its so much a bummer to not see him run sportscar for fun.
Yes sir. It seems like every part of America has been dead as well. We are divided and invaded, nothing is the same. We need to bring the spirit of Americana back Alive, DO NOT let the international fake news mass media dictate your life. It is all propaganda. We are Humans. And we have standards.
Yes, I remember that day vividly...So surreal when Mike Helton announced his passing that Sunday evening. Can only imagine, but I'd say every blue collar American worker was hungover on Monday morning.
Great clips right here, thanks for these! I remember meeting a man who was fortunate enough to gotten the only 1 of the 7 Camaros, Chevy and Dale had made for his 7th Championship! The 1 of the 7 with a standard transmission! The other 6 were automatics! Story the man who had it told me was, he was at Shelor Chevrolet, here on Christiansburg, Virginia the day the woman who had bought it from Dale Sr's dealership and she was scared to death to drive it in fear of it being hit or wrecked, so she decided she was going to trade it in and didn't want to see it being driven around NC, so she drove it up here to Shelors and traded it in there! That was thee car to have if there was ever a collectible car to be had, that 1 was it! I often wonder what ever happened to it and the man who had it the day I saw him with it at a little local car show across from Radford University! He had mentioned how he'd like to have been sponsored by Chevrolet to take it around and tour with it to show it off to the millions of fans Dale had! I'd love to seen him get his wish met and that's one car that I know without a doubt, both Dale Jr. or Richard Childress would love to get their hands on! Damn I wonder what ever happened to that car? As soon as this one shown here mentioned there was around 100 made, I knew instantly it was not the ones made to commemorate Dales 7th Championship! They were by far rarer than the one showed here! Especially the 1 of 1 out of the 7, that I saw that day, with the standard transmission!
Sad sad day when he died (well when anyone dies). i lost interest in Nascar after it happened. i do watch it from time to time but not like what i use to.
So many years latter and it feels like only yesterday, and that certainly didnt feel like 9 minutes either, god I miss him -_-' 12 year old kid too........
He's really the best,driver I've ever had the pleasure of growing up with,he is very knowledgeable about the cars he drives and races, I love hearing him talk about the 1999 Corvette c5r
Father and son driving the C5R. I believe that machine is in the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY. How cool is it that they left the familiarity of NASCAR to do road racing for Corvette Racing at the 24 Hours of Daytona?
"I don't know how they come up with 3-8-1" They were the numbers of Dale's car, Jr.'s car and Steve Park's cars back then. That's how they came up with 381 name.
I wish Dale Sr. and Paul Walker could have known and raced with each other. They both were genuine race car drivers and great people to heart. You could have dinner with them or throw back a few at a cookout and you would feel like you known them your entire life.
Thank you for posting, I remeber seeing this back when I watched dream car garage. It's hard to amagine that dale would leave us shotly after this program. Dream car garage was there touring the shop and test drove dale jr.'s stock car, do you have that as well.
I remember seeing that D.E. Jr monte carlo everywhere back in the early 2000's. I always rooted for the 1 Pennzoil. We moved to central florida.and my first race was the 01 Rolex 24
Would give anything to sit in his garage and jsit listen to him talk and talk. Would be such a wealth of knowledge. And very entertaining to boot. God bless and God rest, Sir. You are missed.
Alot of folks only know Dale for racing, fact is he was very very generous. He once paid for a church parking lot to be paved but told the preacher the only way he would if he didn't tell anyone....well he did and it's just one thing that made Dale great as a human being.
I'm guessing if that if Dale were still around today.. He'd have a collection that would rival the Rick Hendrick collection and he and Rick would be battling it out at Barrett Jackson for the latest and rarest muscle cars...

I always think that Jr. would've won a few championships if DEI stuck around.
@@ChromeXuGames 100%. Having all that distraction in the prime of his career definitely hurt. Maybe not 7 rings, but maybe a Jeff Gordon or Tony Stewart level career
Most successful? Lol..

He makes me smile. He's like a big kid.
tejastrojan he was, he really was, and FUN !!!!
Same
The interview after he wins the daytona 500 he definitely seems like a overgrown kid I wish he could have been around longer to see how nascar has changed and what dei would have turned into I would have loved to hear how he felt about the new gen cars

MattProtrains if Dale were still alive, DEI would rival Hendrick Motorsports. Teresa ran it into the ground after Dale died.
its so sad to see the shop today, what could have been... 3
Dale jr would’ve won a championship with tony at dei if his dad wouldn’t of had died. Dale sr dying messed up dale jr in my opinion
MBX Pictures
DOOD!!
Imagine Dale & Jeff calling a race. Junebug & Wonderboy is one thing BUT just imagine ol Earnhardt & Wonderboy calln a race..

I miss Dale and I miss Speedvision too :(
Dale truly understood cars and what being a complete driver meant. A class act, seriously missed. The Senna of stock cars. Could demolish road courses or ovals, he wasn't a one trick NASCAR pony.
I think he won 1 road course race.
Al Capwned Yeah, that's true. He also had 20 top 5's and 30 or 31 top 10's. That isn't too bad.
Compare his average finish with other driver's average finish on road courses. Dale will come out on top. Dale truly was the best ever in Nascar and there will never be another who can compare.
Senna of stock cars - what a description for an incredible racer on and off of the track.
He even did well on Suzuka I believe
If he lived, he would have started his Le Mans Corvette team... he always had a passion for it and I would have loved seeing an Earnhardt in a Bad Boy Vette now a days... R.I.P.

Highly unlikely. GM already had a partnership with Pratt & Miller (Coevette Racing) back then.
@@patrickanderson9023 Yeah, Earnhardt Sr definitely would've been a staple of the Corvette Racing lineup, alongside Oliver Gavin, Jan Magnussen, Max Papis and Ron Fellows. He'd have to be.
Man, Dale could have had his own TV show, he was entertaining to watch on the track and he could sure talk about cars which was his love.
Evan Williams and he loved to work on stuff

Evan Williams so true, couldn't have said it any better
Talks like a true “driver” not just an enthusiast.
Ayrton Senna probably met this guy and took for a ride in one of his NSX!
So dale is the reason behind one of the best cars in gran turismo history? Makes it even better now
RIP DALE, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE NUMBER 1 CHAMPION OF ALL TIME!
And all the people said

Oh please.

I live just outside Tacoma! What was the station? Dale is the GOAT!!!!!
Not only was he a great NASCAR driver but he was a car guy.......... :(
Dat 'stache + a Speedvision Logo...so nostalgic it hurts

He would have is own car business. Wish he was still here. R.I.P Dale Sr.
Didn’t copy anything. This was a year ago.
A legend in racing. He knew cars inside and out, plus could drive the wheels off one. His death is still surreal to me almost 20yrs later. RIP Dale.
This man was the best at his craft ! Nobody even comes close ! He was far ahead of his short time on this earth! RIP Dale I learned much from you !
Road racers might not realize Dale set the (then) all time track record at watkins glen with one arm functional and the other unable to do anything. He knew road racing.
Its so much a bummer to not see him run sportscar for fun.
I felt like my bestfriend was taken from me when he passed away. I miss you Dale.
And if he had not been a famous driver, you would never give him the time of day!
go away loser.
Same here
@@stevesparks2001 why tf you hatin?
He reminds me of so many people I knew as a child. Just like friends dads and what not. That southern twang with professional attitude.
I Love DALE SR AND DALE JR!! Till the end of time!!
Jeff pretty cool too 😎✌️ got pole position today at Talladega, Dale is smiling down on him 😇
Man still watching this till this day. He was a racing "GENIUS"!
That Camaro at the beginning is sick!
Still miss him .......almost 20 years now. NASCAR died that day in February 2001.
Mike C. I spent years booing and rooting against him. The day he died I felt awful and sad. I realized racing lost something special that day.

381....3 for Sr. 8 for Jr. 1 for steve park. 381 hp was on purposed to be symbolic....how can this guy miss that while at the dealership
silverbullet831 no love for Waltrip :(
oh i thought he was being sarcastic like as if it was obvious that it represented that but idk.
Josxyz74vvTV You are definitely correct!
No 381 is a 350 Chevy motor with the cylinders bored out & bigger pistons which causes it to be a 381
@@PVC-ic7jp ... fairly certain 381 was horsepower not cubic inches.
The greatest used car salesman in history award goes to...
The guy test driving this has NO idea why there's 381 hp in this car... 3 for Dale Sr. 8 for Dale Jr. And 1 for Steve Park
That's the biggest jerk in the automotive industry Peter Klutt!

@@TheAlmightyClipse you stfu
"Now you talmbout" before every sentence
Jean Marie Balestre when I got to hang out with him, he did most of the talking
Man, Dale was going to race 24 hrs at Daytona, would have loved to have seen that. Rest in peace Dale.
Joseph Banet He did. Look it up on YT. It was about a month before he passed... I wish he was still around..
The cars I want: The Intimidator Camaro and Silverado. I got the Intimidator Monte in March 2017.
Dale and all of the drivers from his time were down to earth, gear heads that were a blast to listen and learn from.
Jeff Earnhardt got pole positioning today at Talladega, Dale's smiling 4/22/2022😎
Sad sad day when he died (well when anyone dies). i lost interest in Nascar after it happened. i do watch it from time to time but not like what i use to.
SAME here when Dale Jr retired.
"You talhmbout torque"
You would definitely be talking about some torque on that car
As Richard and Kyle petty would say, yoimean.

We were going to be seeing a lot of Dale in this type of capacity. You can tell he was working his way into it.
We love you.
My Daddy talked the same way. Makes me miss him...
Dale would have made the best car guy tv show host.... one of three on the new american top gear... miss you #3
man if he was still around nascar would never have this big of slumps dale we miss you so much
I have a 1999 Chevy C5 Corvette Coupe. I would've loved for him or Jr to sign the valve covers.
LetMrAL1 why not the paint.
So glad this was posted.A good visit from time to time
Stay tuned for more footage from our Dream Car Garage episode with Dale.
What a Legend..one of the best..Dale Earnhardt Sr..our fave

Thankkk youuuuu🖤 I was a little girl when he died, but I even knew that 🙄
r.i.p. great video!
Nothing could be better than the driver, Dale Earnhardt, talk about his race car.
that Sr. looks like he was a good human being, rest in peace Dale.
he looks like a good human? Really?
TheTheladrillo23 he had a heart, for everyday working folks, as big as Alaska
this guy died at 49 and is still the best at doing the one job he loves ❤️
Calm, cool, collected 😎
It must have been awesome to hang out with him... Such a cool guy..
DALE WAZ ONE OF US! CAMT BELIEVE HES GONE

Never Forgotten 🙏
That C5R is all business.
I have that car C5 in 1/18'scale. Signed by Dale and Jr
William M Trexler I do as well. Such a cool car.
@Roushfan5 Yes, he along with Earnhardt Jr and the rest of the team finished 4th.

Very cool video, nice to see Dale in chill mode talking about his Rolex 24Hrs of Daytona Corvette or his old 6banger Chevy pink coup!
Dale was a man's man who knew what he wanted in life and went out and got it RIP ole buddy
The world lost a legend that day would have loved to hear him commentating and making videos

I never new these Dale Sr tribute cars existed!
Mechanics of his caliber are intellectuals
What a guy,,. What a dang good ole boy.. that 56 Chevy was a passion for him.. Dale was beaming talking about it..
57
He passed right before the world would change forever
Would give anything to sit in his garage and jsit listen to him talk and talk. Would be such a wealth of knowledge. And very entertaining to boot. God bless and God rest, Sir. You are missed.

this was on my recommended
Happy 71st Dale.
Miss him dearly, he Was NASCAR, unfortunately NASCAR died when Earnhardt died. May he Rest in Peace.
I'm guessing if that if Dale were still around today.. He'd have a collection that would rival the Rick Hendrick collection and he and Rick would be battling it out at Barrett Jackson for the latest and rarest muscle cars...
awesome car!
