What makes Dale Earnhardt so important???

[hehhehmule]

The reason Earnhardt recieves more attention is actually fairly sound. For the last 20 years, I've had more contact with him than many of my own family members. Each week during racing season, he has come into the homes of NASCAR fans. He took part in an activity that brought pleasure and escape from more important issues. It's like the reason you are on a mustang board, rather than message board about your home or heart disease. No one would argue that maintaining and modifying your car is more important than your place of residence or your personal health but we still come here.
