dale got hit but if ken was not there he could of saved it and he would be alive think for a sec what would the world be like if dale was still alive jr wouldent win so much but still it was his time i guess he will live on forever in all our heart in all our time he will be there for all of his fans R.I.P DALE HEARNHARDT #3 he hade a good life a good run he did it all he won the daytona 500 ivwas so happy then i watched that race he hit the wall and my heart jest fell again he will live onR.I.P
NASCAR is probably one of the safest forms of Motorsport. But, despite their best efforts, racing is, and always will be, dangerous. Drivers accept those risks out of a love for the sport. Still...It's always painfully sad when a (GREAT) driver loses his life on the race track. R.I.P. Dale Sr. Gone, but never forgotten.
I never was a fan of racing in 2001 so i never watched this race but I can imagine the feeling my dad got right when Earnhardt crashed. But I remember watching the IndyCar race at Las Vegas when Dan Wheldon crashed. And the feeling I got when he crashed at Vegas made my heart drop. I was in a depressing state for over an hour. I never witnessed a fatal crash live so i was not ready for that. R.I.P to BOTH!
I see a few laughable comments below. A: Earnhardt and Sterling did get together. B: Earnhardt did get hit by Schrader. If you say sterling didn't touch him you're obviously blind or stupid. But the fact of the matter is, It was a racing indecent. Had Schrader not been there, Earnhardt would still be here today, but that doesn't make it Schrader's fault in the slightest. And dale was blocking Sterling when they touched. Watch the white line, Sterling was holding his line. Racing inciden. No more
@MrKohl1234 people like you make me laugh... Earnhardt WASN'T touched till he started going UP the track towards the wall... Earnhardt OVERCORRECTED! Schrader didn't kill him...
@jad2309 umm you need to watch the replays more carefully dale just barley came down on sterling and they touched then he went up to the wall and collected schrader but i just wanna say that if schrader wasnt on the outside of dale, dale would have just hit the wall on his right side and he would still be alive and im not blaming anything on schrader or streling they were just racin hard at the end its just racin R.I.P dale!
i cry a lil bit everything i watch this.... i was only 7 years old when this happened but i still remember it like it was yesterday.... R.I.P DALE..... they'll never be another like you bud...... cant wait too see you in heaven dale..
RIP MY FRIEND I HAD A #3 JACKET AUTOGRAPHED AT THE START OF THE RACE IT HURTS WHEN YOU ARE THERE AND YOU SEE IT ALL UNFOLD HE WAS BY FAR THE GREATEST DRIVER EVER NO ONE WILL EVER TAKE HIS CROWN IT WAS GREAT MEETING HIM IN PERSON AND AGAIN RIP DALE SR.
<3 dale his memory and legend will live on through our hearts my heart skipped a beat at the end were it said that he was later announced dead......his legend will live on and though the eyes of dale jr. so wont the nascar legend of you dale......dale was stong and a hell of a racer will always miss him and i said it before and ill say it again, he will live in our hearts forever <3 #3 R.I.P dale your in a better place now and we, all nascar fans, will never forget you......<3 NASCAR
stop fighting dale would not want us too so what it was his time and if u dont like earnhardt dont even comment i am a fan of him and he was a good ma and racer stop fighting
@18baros what nascar never told anybody,was dale had an operation on his neck on dec.18,2000,exaclty 2 months before he was killed.i believe his neck bones were not fused together properly.he didnt have time to heal,and nascar allowed him to race without checking him properly.this is truth/facts,not hear say.so is the blame on nascar or the doctors,not simpson.i think so!
@ all u inbreed dale earnhardt fans... when the hole to hell opens up i will happily jump into it...where i will find dale Sr. being rammed by fourty dudes with fat cocks!!! in every hole....plus dale wasnt shit a new champ has rised his name.....Jimmie Johnson!
i went on a tour of daytona took a pic of me spitting on his #3 car...and a pic of me pointing and laughing @ the wall where he came in contact! hahaha piece o shit had it coming!
@EJ8JuggaloRolla That really is nice of you, I guess for you to do that in the first place you have no life and have no class.. so do the whole NASCAR community a favor, jump off a 20 story building and go straight down into hell where you belong.
@EarnhardtJrFan4Life When he jumps instead of hitting the ground God will have already judged him and a hole will open up and he will fall straight into the depths of Hell. I wasnt Earnhardts biggest fan but no one deserves that type of death
@EJ8JuggaloRolla HOW DARE U, HE IS ONE OF THE BEST RACE CAR DRIVERS, I'D LIKE TO SEE U RACE LIKE THAT. U HAVE MADE MAD U SON OF A BITCH. HOW COULD ANYONE DO SUCH A THING. HE IS A LEGEND. .I MEAN HE DIED MAN. GO TO HELL BITCH.
@EJ8JuggaloRolla i dont get wht u mean? i didnt like earnhardt sr.?
u know wht u ugly piece of shit? u can go die in a hole and burn in hell...no one would care and u would be doin everyone in nascar a favor!!! its very sad thth he had to die tht way and i hope if u meet jr. he beats u up and throws u down into tht hole where u willl die. get a life ass wipe
@timr387 look how minor that crash looked compared to all the ones we have seen before and after the "death" of dale, i believe he is chilling in the carribean or something.
@Mrjdrizzle riiiiight, he wasnt wearing the HANS device, he had an open faced helmet (which affected him since his chin hit the steering wherl, causeing his basal skull fracture), hit suddenly hit the wall at 185MPH throwing him forward in the car. So it was a sudden death situation. And plus they WERE planning on going to the Carribean after the race was over for a celebration.
i am watching dayton 500 right now as im on my laptop and they had brad paisley come out and perform for him and they are remembering him they said on the 3rd lap of the race the fans will hold up 3 fingers to show there love for dale
I wonder if Ken Schraeder knew that dale was dead when they interviewed him. You could hear the sadness in his voice and he didnt want to be interviewed.
@cfrancis63 Yeah after watching The Day Remembering Dale the other night he knew he was dead. he was the first person to the car. that must have been really hard.
its so creepy from the oboard view, hearing the spotter saying the last words dale would ever hear then hearing the impact from the microphone that was next to him when he lost his life.
I was that race. I saw everything. All me friends were praying for Dale. Everyone wishes that he was still with us. RIP Dale. Everyone will remember him. We will miss him for the rest of our lives.
@phantomlord54 they went 45 MPH to get there man, and if they went 120 they could have gotten him there, consious, and he might have been able to make it. I really wish he could of. RIP
@TheMagicalLemon01 He was never conscious!! His nerves may've caused a bit of bodily twitching, but I've heard many a report that say that he was more or less killed instantly
The best driver to ever get behind the wheel of ANY Race Car.
We will always know him as the best driver in NASCAR, and how much he dominated partially due to the fact that he made a dramatic exit instead of fading away.
the winter b4 this happened i dreamed that dale died and i walked around half the day thinking he was dead untill i realized they wern't racing yet
