Odd to see that Ayrton Senna had such a tremendous impact on motor racing all around. Especially when NASCAR honored him.

Racing to the very end, balls to wall with the heart of a Lion. That's how Ayrton Senna did it, and that's how Dale Earnhardt did it too. RIP

The respect we see in modern NASCAR is well-loved. After Dan Wheldon's death, the sticker used by WTCC, F1, V8SC, and NASCAR were different. Some had the initials and a black ribbon, some had the personal logo, some had the Wheldon 1978-2011, and NASCAR's official one at Talladega was Richard the Lionheart. The knight was Wheldon's symbol, and NASCAR played the knight as a tribute. Imagine if Button and Hamilton had the knight added.

@hedrick5286 One of the best sports documentary I have ever seen.

@SuperBuzz71 Amen my brother.

Man I love to hear racers from different series pay their respect to each other. RIP Dale and Ayrton two of racing's greatest.

@MovieMad007 No need to apologize. There are a too many NASCAR fans that don't care about auto racing outside of the US. For those to consider open wheel racing just bores them. What NASCAR did that day was class, because the powers that be know that every race car driver worldwide faces death every day they race. It took a trip to North Carolina in 2010 for UK Top Gear to stop mocking NASCAR. In fact Richard Hammond has spun a positive light on NASCAR for series 18.

And sadly 7 years after this Dale joined Ayrton in the race track of heaven... R.I.P Dale Earnhardt Sr

Of you have Netflix you can stream the documentary SENNA. It is really good.
Race with your heart and soul on your sleeve and with balls of the strongest steel. Don't take bullshit from whinging competitors and authority figures but at the same time, take time for your fans and the ones you love. Never forget your roots, but be ambitious too. I could be describing Ayrton Senna. I could just as easily be describing Dale Earnhardt... :-)

Racers are Racers. People get all tied up thinking one racing series is better than another and all the politics. When it comes down to it, real racers respect each other no matter where they race. It's been proven over and over again that the drivers alway respect drivers from other series more than the fans do. This proves it just like the NASCAR drivers response to Wheldon's death this year.
