one of the saddest things that happened. But what came out of this sad story is their are better safety for the drivers in the car. Its sad how most of you ppl put rude responses on here.
@bvlind richard petty is still the king. earnhardt was never my favorite, i didn't like him, davy allison was my favorite. my dad was a big dale fan. i liked waltrip a lot, especially after davy was killed. but, dale was an awesome competitor, and nascar is worse off for his loss.
@strukter1 He wore no HANS device, he hit the wall head on at 180+ MPH, no SAFER barriers and I belive his seatbelts were faulty. So ya...add that together dude.
I just thought it was really unfair how Darrell kept saying that Sterlin got into him. Sterlin held his line as close to the yellow line as he possibly could have. Dale wrecked because he came down too low and got into Sterlin... despite the last thing that he heard was his spotter going "inside, inside, inside..."
On a different video,you can see that Kenny Scraeder knew DE Sr. had passed away,or that DE was in very bad condition.It's when the TV crew was interviewing him,just as he leaves the medical area.I noticed his comments and facial expressions,he looks like he going to fall apart,as he says,I'm just thinking about "Dale"!Then he walks away.It's really very sad,to me.DE was such a giant and high profile.Also it happens at the Daytona 500, on the LAST LAP.Waltrip winning.It was surreal.RIP
so this is why that's why the left front tire signed by dale himself is worth so much now... dale will be missed forver, plus my dad shook hands with him, and i got to meet him when i was a baby, so we will never forget him :(
@nascarfanatic2425 open face helmet, plus no HANS device as at the time, it wasn't mandatory, plus this was the old NASCAR Car, and no Lajoie seat (which was created by former Nationwide series regular Randy LaJoie) and no safer barrier walls to take the brunt of the impact of that wreck. NASCAR got a wake up call after Dale Sr's death, he was the fourth NASCAR driver in all three series to die in a wreck in a span of a year from March 2000 to March 2001.
I was watching it, and I thought it wasnt that bad, but when he didnt come out, I thought his net was stuck but then they said he was hurt or something, I was in shock because it looked like a crash that I was in back in 2004, and I only broke my wrist.
I remember whatchin Dale Sr. since I was 3 years old, I even remember whatching the 2001 Daytona 500 when I was 5, and Mike Helton making the speach that would change NASCAR, Dale was my hero then, and still is, but it is just amazing, Dale was a hero, but hero's should'nt die, but when it's your time, it's your time, Dale did what I dream of doin, and he died doin something that he loved. R.I.P. Dale, it was a great ride.
@71opeth dude, thats just not even worth saying, you come to a video where poeple pay respect, and all you can do is crack up a joke that I would'nt even laugh at if Dale did'nt die.
The guy I feel bad for is Kenny Schraeder. He saw what had happened. Rest assured, the guy died doing what he loved best. Dale Sr., the best race car driver that ever lived!
The guy who joked about Dale having a drinking problem u need to shut ur mouth. That's nothing to joke about. He died doing what he loved and this was a tragedy. So screw u!
the truth is that dale had a severe drinking problem. the paramedics tested his blood and he was extremely intoxicated that day. more like fail earnhardt. lol classic
im sorry to say but that was the last day i watched nascar dale was the best driver out there hands down i dont care what any of you say he was a great driver and NONE of you are half the driver he was so stop tailkin shit and go back to your honda civic and go chash in to a wall at 120 basicaly head on see if you need life support!!!!!!!! you shoulnt speak bad about the dead no matter what! fuckin jerks
@TheRigo619 He suffered a basilar skull fracture which can result in leaked brain fluid and/or catastrophic hemorraging. In this case Dale was killed instantly, which isn't surprising when you think about the fact that he slammed into a concrete wall going 150 mph... nothing whatsoever to do with age.
How on earth did that tiny wall bump leave someone with a life threatening injury? Oh never mind . . . no one could bear listening to all the 'scientists' out there with their under-informed and speculative answers.
Sounds to me like it was simply someone's time to go.
@pasodiufwen that "tiny wall bump" isnt actually as tiny as u would think. Watching a race on tv is a lot different than being at the track watching the race because the cameras make the car look much slower than almost 200 mph. So hitting a cement wall at at least 70 mph can severely damage you.... now if u were going 0ver 150 mph and had little time to slow down.... that bump isnt so little any more.
In a way, Dale's death served the same purpose as Vladmir Smirnov's did after his death at the 1982 Fencing world championships (broken blade through his mask and into his head)...a significant increase in safety. A tragedy that either sport had to lose someone at the top of the game for it to happen (Smirnov was the defending World and Olympic champ in men's foil).
Sterling never came up on Dale. He held his line the whole time. I would imagine Dale took his eyes off the track for a split second to see his 2 cars up ahead. Just shows how much stamina and concentration this sport takes. 1 second can mean life or death. This incident made me a NASCAR fan, ironic...but it was this that once and for all made me realize this isn't the WWF. Its real, and it needs to be respected...by fans and drivers alike. RIP3
WOW 10 YEARS TODAY I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN THAT LONG SINCE WE LOST A GREAT NASCAR DRIVER IT STILL BLOWS ME AWAY THAT HE DIED TODAY IN ONE OF THE MOST BIGGEST RACES WE ALL LOVE AND MISS YOU DALE EARNHARDT "THE INTIMIDATOR" JR WE LOVE YOU AND YOUR DAD IS WITH YOU EVERYDAY AND EVERY RACE ♥ ♥
dale was always my least favorite driver. that being said, i never wished this on anyone. i remember watching this race, it didn't look that bad on tv.
For you dicks out there Dale was a hero to many people and I was too young to be interested in nasscar at the time I never seen the race. He was the man that made nasscar good and in memory if him this Sunday at the datona 500 on lap 3 let's have a moment of silence in memory of the man many of us miss rest in pice Dale you will always be missed
A great ICON was lost, and as a life long NASCAR fan i miss Dale in the sport, BUT you have to go back to the old cliche "live by the sword, die by the sword"
Had he not been sandbagging and blocking everyone from 3rd back, he would still be racing today!
@the69ford A combination of both coupled with a failure of the left side of his 5 point racing harness (due to installation other than that recommended of the manufacturer)
i was outside the gates when we heard about the crash, didnt think anything of it until the news came out. I remember thousands of fans dropping flowers on the memorial on the side of the road only a day after. RIP
i rember this all too well was watching on t v and still to this day did not seem like that bad a crash to kill some one , but it did and nascar lost a true icon
@fuckgegg how could sterling have caused that? he was all the way at the edge of the lane and dale drifted into sterling. its a dam shame that hes dead but it wasnt sterlings fault. dale got greedy.
Hittin the wall in a race car at anywhere from 100 to 200 is most likely gonna kill ya. Sure u guys might think u know what its like but hittin the wall at over a 100 mph is either gonna kill ya or severly paralyze u... Dale Sr. was the Greatest driver in the world and still is.... The man shall live on in the hearts of Rednecks everywhere.. and for those that doubt hittin the wall at 150+ would kill ya. Try it sometime and tell us how it feels if ya aint dead
this vid is useful for several things I previously said. first of all you can see the speed of the car at the bottom of the screen. he hit the wall at 188 mph. and most important thing is he hit the wall head on (unlike Earnhardt's crash). Earnhardt's impact was way smoother to Mcdowell's. plus after the impact he rolled over 8 or 9 times. but he climbed up himself and walked away. he wasnt even injured. (maybe minor bruises I dont know)
@stampede122 That's what happens to filthy faggot farmers from Florida who try to drive with the big boys. Dan deserved to die horribly because of karma. All his molestations of his young boy fans over the years came back to haunt him. He's now twiddling the boy cocks of young demons in hell!
@RandomSpewBros Then maybe you shouldn't be watching these videos if you don't like Dale (Not dan, douche), then don'tomment on the vids. God, I hate assholes like this.
@RandomSpewBros wow man...even if you dont like the guy....have some fucking respect for the dead...i hope karma gives you a nice bitchslap for what you said...
Not any1s falt. If u c allway bak 2when MW& Jr's carsget away;u can c Sr's car "going away." 'Cept year he won HIScars always lost handle@end of Dayt500. he did wonders with bad carbut Last time he was "running blocker." Used his talent 4makin car lanes wide 2 hold off rest & allow DEI cars get away. Drivers around him@the time he lost it=all friends but had2get around him. His line in corner drops in2 Marlin til his wheels dip past yellow line=is a ticket strait2 wall. The impact fatal.
who in the fuck is tinys honda come on down to the dirty MO and talk that shit i will show you what a wall is the man did every thing you can do in Nascar and even more so for the people of North Carolina what the fuck have you ever done he was and still is the working mans man so if you want to find out how hard a wall is come down and talk that shit in my home town where the man new you by your name or your face
i watched the race as it happened and fell 2 my knees;hoping he would wave his hand like always...he is the greatest and those people with the smartass comments apparently not nascar fans...i still to this day burn my headlights in memory of him.i cant 4get the date(my moms birthday) :-(

to all of the fucking retards that have anything bad or "funny" to say about this, go fuckin fuck urself. this is no laughing matter. Dale Earnhardt died because of this. This is one of the worst moment in NASCAR history. so all'a' you need to shut the fuck up and go try it urself so you can laugh about it when it happens... dumass motherfuckin bitch ass pussies!
@tinyshonda Wow. You really are the lowest of the low...I think everyone here agrees that you should be killed in a violent car crash that sees your head get torn from your body, then run over by a bus =)
@tinyshonda I haven't talked about this much since it happened. My Grandson who was 2 at the time,, was watching that race with me. Siting on my lap watching the Daytona 500, it doesn't get any better than that. Then when Dale crashed he knew something was wrong and put his arm around my neck. Just thinking of that and what happened brings tears to my eyes, he knew! Now some smartass, probably 24 or 48 fan want's to say that? one question- Where do you live, for now????????
they say his HANS device failed and the force of the impact snapped his neck like a twig, anyway he was one of the best drivers NASCAR ever had,even when he did a small tour over here in the early 90's
@monstrs23 its because every since that that happened, they've (they being NASCAR) gotten more protective head and neck gear so that it's more safer and more protective (yes i know they are the same thing). Back then they had just a head helmet (sorta like a hard hat i guess u could say) and not neck wear of face wear or anything protective like that, so when he crashed his head flew up and hit the steering wheel and automaticlly died. Very tradgic... =::(
@juggernautoddball man what if that was u he died in the car and now when dale jr, races his dads car he always wins because his dad is right next to him and he always is
@juggernautoddball I know what you mean I think what happened was something about his head getting thrown back or something in the safety not working...but yeah you really wouln't have thought this would have ended his life :(
no, what happened that day, was that when he hit and his head hit the steering wheel, it broke the inside of his head. it's called a basiliar skull fracture. that's what did it, mostly. and yeah, people do have worse crashes than this every day but it was his time to go, and he left this earth doing what he loved. so all the haters, just shut your mouth. it's quite ignorant to talk shit about a dead man. quit startin shit. and get a life.
but before that crash drivers didn't have the HANS device (Head And Neck Support)
Dale's cause of death was, when he hit the wall his head (and neck) still kept moving forward though his car stopped in less than 1 second so his head and neck just (sort of) slammed forward on the steering wheel with fatal consequenses.
@Zoolander3000 no and what dose username have to do with it the username is supposed to be dumb what im saying is i hope you didnt create a youtube account just to rip on dale seriously get a life

@fuckgegg no way....... earnhardt caused his own demise....came down and spun himself into oblivion.

Hittin the wall in a race car at anywhere from 100 to 200 is most likely gonna kill ya. Sure u guys might think u know what its like but hittin the wall at over a 100 mph is either gonna kill ya or severly paralyze u... Dale Sr. was the Greatest driver in the world and still is.... The man shall live on in the hearts of Rednecks everywhere.. and for those that doubt hittin the wall at 150+ would kill ya. Try it sometime and tell us how it feels if ya aint dead

@garretthex should you please watch 8iQFoRoaKfs
this vid is useful for several things I previously said. first of all you can see the speed of the car at the bottom of the screen. he hit the wall at 188 mph. and most important thing is he hit the wall head on (unlike Earnhardt's crash). Earnhardt's impact was way smoother to Mcdowell's. plus after the impact he rolled over 8 or 9 times. but he climbed up himself and walked away. he wasnt even injured. (maybe minor bruises I dont know)

@tinyshonda I haven't talked about this much since it happened. My Grandson who was 2 at the time,, was watching that race with me. Siting on my lap watching the Daytona 500, it doesn't get any better than that. Then when Dale crashed he knew something was wrong and put his arm around my neck. Just thinking of that and what happened brings tears to my eyes, he knew! Now some smartass, probably 24 or 48 fan want's to say that? one question- Where do you live, for now????????

monstrs23 1 year ago
@monstrs23 its because every since that that happened, they've (they being NASCAR) gotten more protective head and neck gear so that it's more safer and more protective (yes i know they are the same thing). Back then they had just a head helmet (sorta like a hard hat i guess u could say) and not neck wear of face wear or anything protective like that, so when he crashed his head flew up and hit the steering wheel and automaticlly died. Very tradgic... =::(

danicabrooke 1 year ago
no, what happened that day, was that when he hit and his head hit the steering wheel, it broke the inside of his head. it's called a basiliar skull fracture. that's what did it, mostly. and yeah, people do have worse crashes than this every day but it was his time to go, and he left this earth doing what he loved. so all the haters, just shut your mouth. it's quite ignorant to talk shit about a dead man. quit startin shit. and get a life.

hDfearless 1 year ago
@hDfearless thats what it looks like yea...
but before that crash drivers didn't have the HANS device (Head And Neck Support)
Dale's cause of death was, when he hit the wall his head (and neck) still kept moving forward though his car stopped in less than 1 second so his head and neck just (sort of) slammed forward on the steering wheel with fatal consequenses.
hope it answered your main q.
