The Day Dale left he loved Racing so much he took nascar with him...!
dale sr was one hell of a man and driver, he was good because of how hard he had to fight to make it to winston cup and stay there, coming up through the support divisions on dirt to latemodels then to asphalt and working the way up to nascar is how everyone should be that is able to race cup series. It was such a great loss to not only to nascar but every sanction of racing. I love getting on here watching the old races with him behind the wheel of that goodwrench or wangler machine makes him still alive in my eyes..
Jr sounds so much like his Dad. Every time I see 3 I cry like a baby. I miss my own Dad.
Dale Sr. WAS nascar......
My daughter was born on November 18, 2001, my grandmother died in 2001, Dale Earnhardt died, Mrs Epps died in 2001 and the world trade centers were hit by terrorist. There is a lot of things that happened in 2001. The only good thing that happened in 2001 was that my daughter was born and she only 3 lbs 3 oz when she was born. She will always be my angel.
I was born 2001, another good thing. That doesnt mean i csnt be an eanhardt fan though hehe
Bless the USA, my friends, family and everyone the world over.
jtwigg23 bro what 😂
9/11 was an inside job
Dale Earnhardt was the ultimate Race Car Driver and it blew my doors off when that man passed away. Black #3 forever.
We'll miss him for a long time. R.I.P
I MISS YOU ALLWAYS IN MY HEART
I remember watching that race on Tv watching his fatal Crash. So sad. R.I.P Dale Earnhardt Senior. We will miss u!
no matter if you liked him or not....you had to respect him. some hated him.....hate is such a terrible word.......but everyone has their own opinion. He was just human & doing what he loved best....making a living like the rest of us.
I miss him so much he was a great driver and nascar will never be the same without him matter fact I think alot of people stop watching it after his death rip sir you are definitely missed by many
great video, thanks for the upload, Dale Sr & Jr have always been my favorite stock car drivers, there's 2 moments in i'll never forget seeing, when he won the Daytona 500 and his last race.
such an awesome man.
RIP Dale :)
2001 was a sucky year. Dale died in Feb. Broke my leg in March. Lost a grandson in May. Had another grandson born in July (that was the highlight of the year) Found out in August that my wife had cancer. 911 happened and my wife passed away in December.
That's a devastating year. 😢
Because you grow close to these people. You see how down-to-Earth they are and you see how good of a person they are.
An amazing man! Miss you Dale! Dale identified with all of us Oppermans from Texas!
So ironic him talking about the tragedies there and just 2 weeks later he would be part of them. Just gutted me that happened that day and never will be the same.
we all loved him.. especially me. Being a North Carolina Girl we had racin huntin and fishin among those things growin up... we love our heros.. He was mine. He had to be one of the bravest men I know of. We need more men like him. A heart of gold. Tide and true.
every year every race , my wife and i miss dale sr,things just are not the same,and never will be again
Dale was the Michael Jordan of Nascar, hands down. Someone like that dying an unexpected death like that, it fucks you up as a kid.
I'm from Kannapolis, and it was fucked up seeing grown ups crying that night. That made me realize he was a hero in NC.
Wrong. Michael Jordan was the Dale Earnhardt of basketball.
Not hands down, Richard Petty was
They both from north carolina
Yeah, he was my favorite driver and it was my first nascar race and got so lucky to get free tickets the night before unexpectedly. It was the best day of my life turned into the worst. Pretty traumatic for an 8-year old. He was a hero.
This was a great piece,,, thank you for sharing his intimate interview... What a great human being,,, a real American Hero,,, never will there be another like Dale... Aloha Dale,,, it's not
good-by,,, it's until we meet again.... Big
that day is the first time i saw my dad cry
So sad he is gone but awesome to witness the maasive strength this man carried. Damn what a heart of gold. Miss ya Dale.
No driver can take the place of Dale Ernhardt Sr. I haven't watched any races since Dale died. He made Nascar exciting every lap. I miss you Dale.
6:24, best moment ever, came back into the car to continue racing after bad wreck, he's the best! never gives up
He was a wonderful father a awesome Nascar driver all time rip we miss you Dale Earnhardt Sr
Videomaster you and me both hadnt ever seen my dad cry till that day
He was the Man !!!
well said. i might say it took the reason out as well. i still watch &i still know why but it took many year's to understand the reason.
because he was my dads hero
I miss you Dale Earnhardt
His death took the fun out of Nascar. I still watch some, but not like I did
Never heard this but was it good
As a kid I never liked him, I was a Gordon fan, but what a stellar guy
Loved Dale. No driver should drive when he is hurt ( alot ).
You either loved him or hated him,,,there was no in between.
Lost my dad in the same month & year.
Katherine Garrett So sorry.
Sorry for your loss
I had an uncle born the same year and died the same year as dale Earnhardt he could absolutely drive old 4 speed hotrods both are missed
DALE is favorite
HERO
tell Laura I Love Her xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Respect
I lost my mom that year too :(
I can completely relate with his description of Daytona. When you're driving past on whatever the turnoff from the interstate is, you see it and just can't believe something could be that big and in an area it's in. I remember getting glimpses through the grandstands and seeing the backstretch and thinking how is this thing this big and completely closed in.
bless you dale 2:21
@Bee3974 same here. just ain't the same. u cant really do much but drive now a days. there's no excitement anymore.
#3
I keep looking the left, and i'm pretty sure there is no one talking.
My mom died Jan 29, 2001 and I know how you feel. Alzheimers :(
imo nascar died when Sr did
That's funny cause I'm actually watching Nascar today!
@@godisgood1359you're watching the WOKE version. 🙄

Why did he cry? He didn't know him personally. What's the reason, really?
he got out of the car in 1996 at Indy in the Brickyard 400 from injuries at the Talladega wreck
If you have to ask, then you're just stupid as 💩. 😡
WCW died that year.

He was overrated. If he hadn't bumped drivers out of the way who were faster than him, he might have won half the races and championships that he won. I had no respect for the man whatsoever as a driver. Anybody else could wreck someone and they were the Devil himself but if Earnhardt did it, it was fine.
Scott H. It's called racing
That comment was of yours was ignorant, foolish and rank, repent by voting the way he would being Trump!!!
Scott Hall how do you bump someone faster than you
You can tell your a race fan by your comments. Dale bumping cars that were faster, no respect for dale earnhardt as a driver. You are a 100% complete moron. And any race fan, no matter who there driver was or is i guarantee you agrees. Wow
😂😂😂😂😂😂
