This thread is incomplete without a tall sixer of Pabst Blue Ribbon, a can of Grizzly wintergreen long-cut, some kind of reference to the WWF, and a whole ton of blond mullet wigs and trucker caps.

Re: "Intimidator"
Ironically, the winner of that particular race was Michael Waltrip, who was driving for DEI at the time. I've often wondered if that sort of jinxed Michael's NASCAR efforts. I wasn't really into NASCAR back then, and I remember hearing about it, but once I got into the sport I read up on it and not only did the Intimidator improve the sport while he was alive, his death has also improved the safety for the drivers. A lot of the things people take for granted these days would have kept him alive, including the HAN device and the new car design that moves the driver away from the side of the car. I've liked everything I've read or heard about Dale Earnhardt, but in terms of success, I think the greatest driver in the sport is still Richard Petty, although Dale ranks right up there with him.
And much as I hate to admit it, I think Jimmie Johnson will be in the top ten greatest drivers as well.

Re: "Intimidator"
Ohhh baby, I really am in love with you now. I had no idea you were into NASCAR and specifically a fan of Dale. You know how your heart physically hurts when you lose someone or something very close to you? That is what I felt as soon as he hit the wall. I thought my heart was going to explode! In the uncharactistic act of blocking for someone else, he wanted Michael and Dale Jr to fight for the win, instead of having anyone else in the mix. His very good friend, Kenny Shraeder is the one that turned him, causing Dale's car to careen into the Turn 4 wall. I have never, since that day, looked at that wall without a vividly graphic memory of that wreck. I saw, over many years, Dale walk away from much greater impacts, some wrecks almost completely detroying the car. I'm a rtired Navy SEAL, this was and is one of the most devastating moments in my life. My walls, shelves and many of my clothes are a tribute to The "Intimidator".

Don't tell nobody (cuz I don't want to lose my status as soul brother number 1) but I actually have his autograph on a poster along with Bill Elliot's.
