the best driver that ever lived

I have no doubt in my mind that if Dale had not passed in 2001 he would have won that 8th championship.

@ThomasJowers0 I have no doubt in my mind that if Tim Richmond, Rob Moroso, Alan Kulwicki and Davey Allison didn't pass, Earnhardt wouldn't have won more than four. I'm just saying... a lot of great drivers' deaths contributed greatly to Earnhardt's feats.

Dale Earnhardt should've only had 6 championships but NASCAR literally gave one to him in 1990. They screwed Mark Martin that year by a ridiculous penalty. Then at Charlotte Dale's crew pitted the car in turn one after his left-side tires came off. There were crystal clear rules that should've prevented it and they didn't get a penalty.

mast came close to a couple victories, he cold have easily passed Harry Gant in 1991 at Talladega but they were de facto teammates but that was the easiest win he could have had.

@vidEvWill Mast was a lap down at Talladega in '91. But you're right, he did come close to some wins, particularly in '94. I remember him finishing third at Michigan on the weekend of Ernie Irvan's crash, and it looked like he was going to win that one.

@braves15 oh, no wonder he was helping him!

7-Time Champ Earnhardt Forever!

that's awesome that Dale Sr dedicated the victory along with winning the title to his old fishin' and huntin' buddy Neil Bonnett. RIP Dale and Neil two of the best.
