I can offer my condolenses to his family and his friends, truly nobody likes to see people die like that.
On the other side I don't know how the "Intimidator" got his "hero" lable when he is always wrecking other racers to win or finish higher in the standings. Every race I have ever seen with Dale Earnhardt Sr. in it has had at least one attempt by Earnhardt to make contact with another driver to pick up a postition, especially so at the end of a race. More vivid than any other in my memory was his intentional wrecking of Al Unser Jr. in the IROC several years ago on the last lap. Earnhardt used his signiture rear corner tap from low on the racetrack coming out of the 3rd turn to put Al into the wall. The track will be a much better place without him intentionally wrecking people, but even I don't like to see it racing end like that. |
