Dale Earnhardt

[blackfrancis55]

I came looking for some nostalgia, wanting to see some Dale Sr highlights. I am shocked and disappointed by the lack of them, other than the "pass in the grass" and a few others(this one is a good one though). I don't want to watch Dale's death any more times. Yes, it happened, and was there for all to see, but there are too many videos where that is the focus, or on junior. Wish there were more on Dale's best moments. He was just a phenomenal driver that made the sport worth watching.

If Earnhardt was still around Kyle Busch would be in the wall every weekend!

[adrian777000]

R.I.p. dale senior. We love u and miss u, man!

[MKIIProductions]

Man, I'll never forget this guy. The way he finished this race, 17 spots in 4 laps, The guy could race. no doubt. Earnhardt was a one- of- a kind racer, and I sure as hell won't forget him.:)

Thanks for the good times, intimidator, As the Goodwrench #3 will never be forgotten. :)

[StandardToaster42]

Gives me chills every time I watch it. I know Junior hasn't exactly lived up to his father's legacy but every time I see him qualify well, like for this weekend's Daytona 500, I always hold that small flame for him. That small, shining glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe, this time will be the charm.

[PrankSlayer2910]

i was at this race..only 4 years old at the time but i remember every bit of it

[mzxrules]

Dale Earnhardt's last win.

[fordwindsor351]

I am not saying that we will never see great racers again through history of Nascar but we will never have a racer what Earnhardt sr was.

[babaghanoush531]

I could watch this over and over, just isn't the same without Sr. Look how many wide (4) with no wrecks just alot of bumping for lap after lap. You know Sr. Looking down at them racing and saying what a bunch of tools, and just laughing his ass off, and little pissed off at Jr.

[frankthe1268]

simpiy the best

[godgirlsguitars]

Way to go Kenny Wallace!

[LT1HILLINGHOE]

Boy I sure do miss Dale. No one could even lace his boots.

Nascar sure does suck now.

[frankthe1268]

the best earnhardt win ever sorry daytona fans

[JeffGordon221]

compare the racing in this race to the racing in talladega in the fall. Big difference in 9 years.

[motownrocker71]

Man, do I miss this! Thank you for sharing!

[likearock1996gmc]

jus unbelievable

[MrJamef]

if someone would have installed a air bag in his car he would not have died becuase he died of hitting his head way way to hard on the stearing wheel andand aginst a bar

[godgirlsguitars]

No he didn't die like that. If his head would have hit the steering wheel he would have survived but his head missed the steering wheel because he hit the wall at an angle and his head went to the right of the steering wheel past it and it stretched his neck so far it broke it. His body was strapped in but his head wasn't restrained so his head kept going. Ya can't put airbags in the steeringwheel, best thing is the hans head and neck restraint system.

[dejavu544455544455]

@MrJamef Back then neck straps were not mandatory. If he would of worn it he would still be alive.

[cstrnutt2004]

THE MILLION DOLLAR RUN!!!!

[abcsales]

I was there when The Great won his final race!! The stands were moving up and down as he crossed the line!! Fan or not, he was the best thing Nascar ever had, and now....well not sure what direction the sport is going???

[HBKshowstopper635]

EPIC WIN FOR DALE

[derf31kracer]

he was a hell of a driver R.I.P Dale Earnhardt i liked how tim and dale were friends n could rub out on the track and keep going like nothing happened both great drivers

[jamespic]

I Saw That Race On ESPN!!!!!

[mow1717]

one of the greatest come from behind wins of all time.

[Banger82]

Still to this day in awe of what he did that beautiful and magical Sunday.

[EWSC37]

they dont race like this anymore! i mean wen earnhardt was out there it was interestin nomatter were he was he was wat made NASCAR, NASCAR!

[countryflyboy]

Daytona

Talladega

enough sayed

[yahyas32]

I love to watch dale sr. race because he is the best of the rest and i know he is he drives like there is nobody in the race

[ashleygirly88]

I LOVED WATCHING NASCAR WHEN HE WAS AROUND and even for a bit after when jr stepped up and was doing good but even now hes no good i watch about 15 laps of each race now just to check how far back jr is then go back to something more interesting

[whodeyslim00]

17 spots in 4 laps to win it... incredible, we'll never see a driver quite like him, thanks for the memories Sr.

[sbrn362]

i was there thank god ... wouldnt trade it for anything

[vidEvWill]

don't ever ever

[drglinski]

This is Nascar racing at it's finest- note that they don't wreck until after the checkers- No stupid yellow line rule that takes away wins from guys like Regan Smith which will probably never have a chance like that ever again.

[EWSC37]

AMAZING!!!! That was an exciting race!!!ITs amazing the show these guys can put on i mean Earnhardt 18 spots in 4 laps to win it!!!! I mean how can ppl find this not interesting u cant tell me that that was amazing!!! Talladega has great racing switching leaders left and right!!! I have to make sure i watch the race on sunday!!!!

[tkdterp8]

Talladega Superspeedway...simply the BEST!

[eddiecares]

This is why there has never been and will never be a driver as GREAT as Mr Earnhardt was! From 17th to checkers in LESS THAN FOUR LAPS! You wouldn't put it in a movie script cause no one would believe it would ever happen in real life. Mr E.... LARGER THAN LIFE!

[wootoxen]

all i have to say is all of you earnhardt jr haters should have watched the dega race sunday.

Lead 40+ laps, fell back to 33rd when he got caught up in a wreck with 8 to go and managed to finish 10th. Kid is amazing, just like his daddy.

[chicks123]

One of the best races ever!

[Adriandark140]

And it's amazing the noise of all these Dale's fan when he got in the top 5 omg!

[BrawlRisE]

@Adriandark140 I was at the racetrack. I was like 10 years old, the sound of the crowd in person was amazing. They screamed non-stop.

[XC0688]

GREATEST FINISH EVER! hands down.

[Adriandark140]

hey 17th position in 4 laps and got the victory shhhhhhhh

[racerdude03]

Big ups the kenny wallace. Sr. couldnt have won that race with out him. Got on his bumper and never left.

[dngl21]

nascar is not the same anymore!

[pakieire]

You are so right! I was never a racing fan but if I had known what would happen to Dale I would have gone to a race just to see him race Now racing is nothing but a pussy sport, unfortunately. Tony Stewart is the only one left who really races. Everyone else just does ballet.

[DaleJrbudweiser8]

Dale was awsome. he was truly the greatest in the history of the sport

[guitard22]

the man

[scottmolson]

Great finish and unfortunately, the last win for Dale. Thanks for posting the vid. I've got it on DVD but now I can watch it whenever.

[chunkyturdeye]

If anyone argues who the best is, this should settle it. Btw, RIP Benny!!

[KraZeeGuy3]

Simply the most amazing drive by the most amazing driver ever, thanks for posting this, I have been looking for this clip for a while!

[O5fan]

The end of the 2001 Talladega Spring race was about as exciting as this. I have it on tape but unfortunately I don't have the means to put it on my computer.

[deadwolfbones]

One of the most amazing comebacks I've seen. Thanks.

[Jray0024]

it is not over until the checkered flag, and people leave early.
