i have a great deal of respect for dale earnhardt but this is pretty fucked up. they penalized bobby hamilton in this race for spinning the same car twice but dale spun rusty wallace,lake speed,and terry labonte and didnt get a penalty
Also, if you watch the video, Speed was checking up to avoid tagging the car ahead of him, so the wreck was not Dale's fault at all, just a racing accident.
Actually, Lake was on the lead lap racing with Earnhardt for position. He had a pretty good car that night too... about the only time that Earnhardt really ticked me off.

No offense but Earnhardt was a wrecking machine that day, ruined many guys chances.

Actually, Earnhardt was forced to the back of the field after wrecking Rusty. But nothing like the 5 laps Hamilton was.

oh sorry i didnt know that lol. but still they send him to the back and penalize hamilton 5 laps. big names get away with more,its a proven fact

@kidd1023 Tony Stewart 2008 and Dale Jr. 2003 at Talladega...
And the broadcasters say that NASCAR makes consistent calls...

Actually, he was penalized for spinning Rusty Wallace (I believe he was penalized a lap), and Terry Labonte, one could say was last lap racing.
