Dale Earnhardt's Fatal Crash at Daytona 500

[jzk420]

I wish Gordon would of put him into the wall.

[123redrules]

@jzk420 why? im not a fan but im just asking

[mastrotoni]

he died in an crash like that? So unlucky =(

[Zoomer30]

Also there is pretty clear evidence that Dale modified this belts and one of them broke which did not help. Most of it however was BSF. The cars were getting so rigid by then that a lot of energy was being forced on the driver. The wrecks that dont "look" bad are the worst, since no parts shed off to take away energy. And add to the no HANS device and no full helmet (stll wore the open face helmet with chin strap)

[Zoomer30]

The sad fact is this: if he had been racing for the lead instead of hanging back and trying to block 2 lanes of traffic, he'd still be alive (most likely). People who blamed Sterling Marilin for this wreck clearly have a very "selective vision" Dale moves down to BLOCK Marlin and hits him. The people who were sending hate mail to SM after this happened really need to see a head doctor.

How sad, he would be alive if he would of had all of his safty gear on

[DOGSTAIN007]

that killed him? wtf didnt even go out with a bang

[aeromaster98]

It actually was faster than you think.

[rocketplumber]

Earnhardt was a loud critic of head restraints- and it was the lack of one that killed him. When it came to safety engineering, he was a damn good driver...

[florianfaldon619]

what the fuck that is not fatal crash!

[mattdunc1]

are u an idiot ye it is

[oldpreach]

He died in the crash of a broken neck.

[zfallball5]

yes it is...

[noex100]

FATAL.

[esliass123]

He died not because of the strike, but because the hood was beating on his head.

[Jesant13]

From Wikipedia:

"Cause of death Basilar skull fracture from crash in Turn 4 on the final lap of the 2001 Daytona 500."

[danmackay125]

[marsalessio]

RIP

I have been a fan since 1978...but this was the day nascar died!

NASCAR has gone down hill ever since this day! We dont watch to see a driver die, but Gladiators battle. I refuse to watch millionares run around a track for 500 miles to only race for the last 20 laps.

I have not watched a full race since 2003. I just get the highlights....if there are any!

Welcome to the new wrestling fad.

So SO SO SO sad!

PLEASE COME BACK NASCAR Dale would want it...so do I.

[skatennathan1]

you are a fucking dumbass its daytona 500 you fucking nascar posser

[knightriderkev]

[jmoney11]

[lunow8]

[skaiprulez]

NASCAR is for fat & lazy Americans... Dumb society makes Dumb mtfka

[StratoProductions]

Daytona 500

[sallyrocks422]

i think he faked his death. he's living on an island with tupac, biggie and elvis

[BlueBlazer89]

@sallyrocks422 ya its No Talent Island

[elizabeth4westley]

Courage is getting into a big-block engine with 500 horse power and expecting to crash, but not letting it stop you from winning The Great American Race. Dale Earnhardt had alot of courage.

RIP intimidater

[elizabeth4westley]

......the intimidater lives on forever...RIP earnhardt

[thelastkicker]

That is crazy, it doesn't look like it was that bad. Hell, I don't watch NASCAR but I've seen worse than that on ESPN clips. I'm suprised he died. And before someone says it: I know he wasn't wearing his neck brace and I know the car went from 200 mph to 0 in like one second but it still doesn't look THAT bad.

[elizabeth4westley]

it was bad and if you actually watched NASCAR you'd know why

[wdahl03]

mcdowells hit at texas was worse

[Nascarguy1996]

RIP Dale Earnhardt

FOREVER A FAN #3

[ecljpse]

Wow that hit didn't even look bad.

[waffle455]

yah his son is a driver

[49ersnfl]

his son is a driver to right?

[AvidSoyak]

Dale Earnhardt Jr., drives the Amp/National Guard #88 is his son.

[cmdkid3]

The 200 is the number of laps, 500 miles. Dale Earnhardt is a better man than any of us. Chuck Norris could not pass Dale. No one can. Period.

[NateDawg80126]

He was a damn good driver, but just because he died racing does not make him a better man then any of us.

[tyler053098]

sorry, i know now its 2001 scary same as 9/11

[tyler053098]

what year is this?

[bigOnlineCritic]

[Fockerizer]

it killed him beacuse he snaped his neck by hitting the stearing weel or somthing like that and the same thing happend to adam petty thats why they cant move their heads really beacuse of their deaths

[woodyjr8]

[imtheboss6x9]

i dont think he was wearing his neck brace in the car and the impact jurked his head enough to kill him

[deancarr10]

how did that kill him? there didnt seem to be that much of an impact.

[headbanger2069]

dude he hit a wall goin over 180 mph

[Xzilhery]

he hit a wall at close to 200 mph, he wasnt wearing a neck brace because he didnt 'believe' in them and his neck snapped.. genius

[nascarfanatic24]

R.I.P., Dale. You will be missed.

[nascarjake24]

Daytona 500 there genius

[wrmrinternetradio]
