[WackyRace1016]

something weird happpend today i just heard that micheal waltrip is my friend's step father and i'm not lying.

[rascalflattsfan97]

Opps I'm sorry I accidentally posted a flag. I didn't mean to.

[alec88gojrgoblue]

3:12 you'll never ask how safe nascar is anymore

[chad362wiley]

#1 televised event (after football) ;)

[mattkredwings2009]

@chad362wiley Which is sad and just show how redneck and getting behind the times this country has gotten ;)

[vbabe360]

2001. Such a grim and eerie year.

[SPRnurd]

this is sad for it to take a famous person to die to think of these ideas...

[blueeyedman247]

Am i the only one who doesn't think he died instantly?

I only say this because at the end of the clip, it looks like he threw the car in reverse and hit the gas cause the wheels were spinning to fast for the car to just be rolling.

[SPRnurd]

@blueeyedman247 or theres a curv on the rode and theres a tight cockpit. its nascar u r on the gas to the metal alll the time

[con28ying]

I think people would enjoy if they started to go the opposite way...



[gounc93]

not a sport

[ToroRosso20]

I respected Earnhardt for how he came up through into racing. How he had to work for every inch of it, not many people can do that and be successful as he was. Nobody handed him a Silver Spoon and gave him an instant ride he worked with little and then moved his way up the ladder.

[mariotime1000]

I like NASCAR im a Jeff gorden fan I can't remember what happend at that race but after seeing so much videos it makes me so sad

[nadeau1064]

Rather surprising to see Jeff Burton express concern about the HANS Device trapping drivers in their cars, seeing as Burton's been such an outspoken advocate for new safety measures. Unless they took the clip out of context, that is.

[phantomlord54]

I don't think he'd've ever gone for all that stuff...he would've chosen to walk away if they were gonna take too much of the "old school" outta racin'...he definitely would've retired simultaneously with France Jr

[MrUsasoccerrules]

I am not a nascar fan, but I can easily, without contradiction, say that Dale Earnhardt, Sr's death was the beginning of nascar's decline.

[lebronsmyboy6]

nascar= not a sport

[majagler09]

@lebronsmyboy6 = a pussy

[BrianFalconsFan29]

I remember when i was 11 being a nascar fan like my dad the weeks following were weird and very sad indeed

[David9788]

what was the airdate

[kingmaddog2]

RIP Dale Earnhardt this was the most sad thing ever in Nascar

[augtenth]

: FOREVER A FAN

[Roushfan5]

@JeffGordonFan2420 yes

[crg777]

Waaaaaaa!!!!! I drive 180mph around a track surrounded by lots of other cars and yet it's a "shock" and so sad when I crash and die!! WAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Please people give me a break. thats life!!!

[Roushfan5]

@crg777 And like the guy said deaths like this are still rare. Thankfully its been 10 years since this wreck, almost, and we haven't have any other deaths in the top three series or racing. And that after some pretty nasty wrecks. Also they called him the "Indimdator" for a reason. He had raced so hard for so long, been in so many wrecks etc. that he almost seemed immortal. Is it foolish, yes, but thats the human mind.

[immortalclaws]

@crg777 were you blowing your dad when you said that

[crg777]

@immortalclaws ...actually that was your mom.

PS. If you love dale burnhardt so much then maybe you should dig his dead corpse up on suck his rotted dick

[immortalclaws]

@crg777 jokes on you my moms dead

[crg777]

@immortalclaws ...guess she got out while she could

[immortalclaws]

@crg777 YOU MOTHER FUCKER IM GONNA KILL YOU NO TALKS ABOUT MY FAMILY LIKE THAT YOUR FUCKIN DEAD

[crg777]

@immortalclaws ...Haha!...Go drive into a wall at 180mph!

[immortalclaws]

@crg777 why dont you get laid asshole and dont denie people like you online are virgins so get used to it you pathetic excuss for life get a fuckin life and by the way im gonna kill your whole family and you i promise

[immortalclaws]

@crg777 on second though i dont know who would want to waste thier time to kill such a lazy shit stain like you and how about you drive in to a moving train at 120mph if your car gets over 10 mph you asshole

[crg777]

@immortalclaws ...Sounds like someones got his panties all soiled and twisted. I know your mom truly wished she would have taken your dad's advice when he told her to get an abortion to get rid of the bastard mistake that later became you. Probably why she killed herself...think about it...

[crg777]

@immortalclaws ...You are an only child because they didn't want another waste of space like yourself. Why make the same mistake twice?? And with a regretfully, non-aborted, bastard child like you, I would've made myself get cancer too because obviously your cunt mom was smarter than she looked and chose cancer over you...think about it...

[crg777]

@immortalclaws ...Before I die and go to hell, is there anything you want me to tell your cunt mom when I see her there?

[immortalclaws]

@crg777 one last thing thanks for taking the bait mother fucker hook line and sinker the whole thing was made up because i just felt like arguing with someone thanks i was really bored oh and ill see you in hell ill b in the red mansion on walt disney st. and why dont you learn how to spell....think about it

[crg777]

@immortalclaws ...ps. learn to spell...think about it

[immortalclaws]

@crg777 ps can i have my change back

[crg777]

@immortalclaws ...ok I now realize you are only a 13-year old virgin with no life except playing World of Fagcraft and trolling YouTube. My mission is done here...think about it

[immortalclaws]

@crg777 nope i have a life a job a house and friends and you sir are human shit....think about it

[crg777]

@immortalclaws ....if you are talking about your imaginary life on World of Gaycraft then I believe you...think about it

[immortalclaws]

@crg777 hahahaha say what you want cocksucker....think about it

[immortalclaws]

@crg777 when im i goning to get my change back...think about it

[immortalclaws]

@crg777 by the way what are we arguing about again...think about it

[crg777]

@immortalclaws ...remember, we were discussing how your mom's a cunt and how you should've been aborted...think about it

[immortalclaws]

@crg777 welli have a life so i dont see why i should be aborted and my mom is a slut do you have a life...think about it

[immortalclaws]

@crg777 also lets restart are arguing ok lets see i asked you if you blow your dad you said it was my mom which my parents are divorced which i dont care ok my new somment oh how mature

[immortalclaws]

@crg777 ps can i have my change back...think about it

[JcTran92]

@crg777 wow. a man died and was beloved by millions, and here you are mouthing off. 

[crg777]

@JcTran92 ...he started it

[immortalclaws]

@JcTran92 hes mouthing off because hes never had a girlfriend, a family member that gave a damn about him, and probaly because hes on his period

[cellmike07]

deffender560, you must not know a lot about NASCAR or racing in general, head on crashes are the worst you could flip your car twelve times and get out of the car with no injuries.

[red03mitsu]

cant believe this long after the crash and i still get choked up watching this

[plabute10]

@red03mitsu amen brother

[deffender560]

that little crash did that to sr. when u see cars flip 50ft in the air and roll and blow and and the driver still gets out with a little scrach it anazes me a small crash can do so much and things u fear the most do so little.

[lakelandchief]

My first race I saw was 2002 Talladega when Bobby Labonte flipped over in the last lap. But Yes I agree if he had THE HANS, CLOSED FACE HELMET, AND SAFER BARRIERS, he would be still racing today or just retiring.

[DsturbedFan728]

@lakelandchief actually bobby's flip was in the fall 2001 dega race. but yea ur right

[2008PowerStrokeF450]

man, 2001 was a shitty ass year for us. i saw a tribute video and i started raining. R.I.P Dale Earrhardt

[ToroRosso20]

It is amazing to see that F1 & Nascar lost similar racers with their aggressive style that made racing overall great. I miss both drivers. May they R.I.P

1994 San Marino Gran Prix: Ayrton Senna

2001 Daytona 500: Dale Earnhardt Sr.

[x88mad]

Formula One.

That is all.

[f40f50enzof60]

If only he would have worn a HANS. . .

[SuperJeffhardy09]

i am black and i love nascar i live breath sleep it

[ORilleyCupSeries]

@SuperJeffhardy09 Then YOUR AWESOME!

[airbus001]

@SuperJeffhardy09 Are you rearry brack?

[wes3tomcat]

@SuperJeffhardy09 im black too im a big dale sr and jr fan. i have alot of dale jr 1/24 diecast but olny 2 dale sr diecast. my first diecast was a dale sr car and i got it before the race. when he died i cryed all night it was just so sad.

[ELECTRICCHAIRRHYMIN]

@wes3tomcat respect to all races

[wes3tomcat]

@ELECTRICCHAIRRHYMIN thanks

[larsulrich221]

@SuperJeffhardy09 Whhhaaaaaaaatt?????

[SPRnurd]

@SuperJeffhardy09 i dont think we need to kno tht ur black, dude

[ohiostmarine29203]

Senior was my favorite and I thank my mom with getting me hooked on it...I hope one day yall accepted a black driver on the track

[bjowers29]

@ohiostmarine29203 To me a driver of any color is always welcome, I love nascar and I would love to see the fan base grow more than it's stereotypical white persona. I attend Talladega every year and have noticed a increase in black spectators every year meaning to me the sport is growing outwards.

[stevos999]

@bjowers29 Of any color, religion (or none) or whatever. If you have the talent, you should be able to compete. I'd love to see a Jewish driver (I am of Jewish heritage). I think it's good that Danica Patrick is now in the mix. Since 2001, the safety features have made it much less likely for a fatality to occur. RIP Dale Sr.

[lamborghinifanboy117]

@ohiostmarine29203 if keep believing you will one day make it

[dudeustupid]

@ohiostmarine29203 danica patrick is startin to come in to the big leagues and juan pablo montoya has been doin really wel. I'm ready for a black driver i would like to see a little bit of diversity. As a fan i would be ashamed if there are nascar officials or race teams that wouldnt accept it. Altho as much as i regret it I can see some fans not liking it

[ohiostmarine29203]

@dudeustupid well they better get use to it cause I'm getting a black crew togather

[dimerules88]

@Berthagertrude

i hope someone close to you dies soon like your mum or dad, then you can see that laughing at someone who died isnt funny regardless of wether u like them or not cunt

[Berthagertrude]

Gotta love redneck twelve year old dickheads like you! Pull your head out of your ass and go fuck your sister.

[dimerules88]

12 i think your the tweleve year old cunt, or a start i aint amercian im australian so i aint a fuckin reneck, 2nd im 25 years old, and 3rd dont talk about your sister like that i fucked her last week and she aint that good

[Berthagertrude]

Ah! Just another Aussie dickhead. That explains it. Out fucking sheep, eh?

Most excellent language skills there as well you buttfucker! Didn't get past second grade?

[dimerules88]

lol your cracking me up aye you really are mate, fucking sheep thats new zealand buddy we eat our sheep not fuck em, and yer your right i was a drop out at year two didnt realise youtube was a spelling test damn i should of known

[cbullockii]

[crg777]

@cbullockii  ... I'm biting Baby! I'm Biting!

[99boyz]

@cbullockii i Dont and i Wont

[joeman997]

Nascar now sucks RIPDale

[meerkat00]

[nascarjunior]

Your a fucking moron

[ilovetogofast88]

You worthless fans of NOTHING like YOU need to TRULY get a life...and some BRAINS. Because people who go out of their way to make pathetic childish jerkoff comments like some LOSER on things they're not even interested in just further incriminate themselves and prove that rednecks (if there ARE any fans in the sport anymore) truly have a life compared to YOURS, prick

GET LOST

[IloveNYC7]

@ilovetogofast88 U FUCKING ASSHOLE GO FUCK UR SELF U UGLT PRICK!!! FUCK U U GET A LIFE U JACK OFF!!! WE HAVE A LIFE U DONT CARE ABOUT ANYONE BUT UR SELF FUCK U U COCK SUCKER

[ilovetogofast88]

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA, HILAROUS!!! Man, you really made me bawl out with laughter, THAT was the best you could do, ranting constantly FUCK U, JACK OFF, FUCK U, FUCK U, man I must have REALLY touched a nerve. If you are going to be a whiny lowlife crybaby like this. "WAAAA, he made me mad, now I'm going to rant and cry and call him every name I can think of, 'cuz I HATE him and I'm a poor pathetic loser, who can't think of anything better to say, WAAAAAAA!!!"

Get lost you little crybaby

[rancidpunx93]

i still wish this wouldnt have happened... i miss him out there..

[XrayThunder]

Thanks for sharing this with everyone. It breaks my heart each time I see these, but yet I am still drawn to it. Does everyone remember when Dale had that bad wreck and rolled his car several times. When safety crew walked him to the ambulance he heard them start his car up and he saw that it still had all 4 tires attached, and he walked out of the ambulancet back in the car and drove it to his pit stall for new rubber and finish the day racing.. Can't remember at what track it was at??

[chrijens]

Still chokes me up a bit ever time I see Dale

[tonks78]

I'm completely surprised even to this day the news reported this 1st. Miss Earnhardt still...

[antiochspeedway1]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeee

eeeeeeeeeeeeeee

eeeeeee

eeeeeeeeeeeeeee

eeeeeeeeeeeeeee

eeeeeee

eeeeeeeeeeeeeee

eeeeeeeeeeeeeee

3 forever

[19seth91]

yanslater I think you're right, I thought I heard that too, but if he was wearing the hans device we wouldn't be having this conversation would we?

[FooFightinSince95]

It still hurts to this day.

BIG E 1951-2001

[DWM2309]

everything nascar has now(safer walls,and the COT cars)in my opinion there about 10 years late on them.if the were running them 1998-1999 season adam petty would be running today and dale earnhardt might be contemplating retiring as an 8 time champion.

[DWM2309]

if dale was still around DEI wouldn't be in the mess its in now and dale jr.not only would he still be there and maybe have already won a championship.but one thing in for certain if dale sr was still around there would not be a ganassi earnhardt racing.

[yanslater]

im not sure where anymore i think it was speed tv but the belts we installed incorrectly, several inches out of speck and they broke on impact.

[rustyshackleford01]

I love how the people who reported on this story knew little to nothing about NASCAR

[jburd641]

At least they reported it. They gave Earnhardt the respect he was due.

[drzchulo1993]

god if only the safer barrier was put into affect just a few years earlier dale would probably still be here running DEI with teresa and he would still be giving people that half grin

[RossTheHick]

i miss tom.

[Farrah300]

I've seen car crashes that looked much more serious than the one that killed Dale Earnhardt, and the driver walked away from it almost without a scratch.

[WizardMaster03]

yeah but head on is a different story

[Farrah300]

Very true!!!

[lollipopraindrops]

its because what i heard he hit the at 160 mph and regularly a car would bounce off his didnt

[yanslater]

You have to remember in addition to his head violently hitting the steering wheel, his 5 point harness also broke which sent his entire body forward and into the steering wheel.

[Farrah300]

Richard Petty is the King, but Dale Earnhardt was the Prince of NASCAR.

[AAFD840]

I remember having a party for the race that day. I had 8 friends over that day and we had a great time until the last lap.

[jamespic]

One of The Worst Races In The History Of NASCAR!!!!!

[jlogano20]

One of the saddest races in history!!!
