This man was the ultimate driver and my Hero. Talented....there are no words for what he did. I met him 7 times and every time it was an honor to be in his presence. Dale....never will be another. You will be missed forever.
Oh so true in our eyes! Dale Earnhardt Sr was our favorite and the best Nascar driver in our eyes. We watched and love and loved him thru the years..even our service dog Sugar Bear watched her "Uncle" Dale watched with Jerry and me..Gloria. Dale Sr was our man. When Dale died our watching and enjoying was gone. All three of us was out on the deck and looked up in the sky above the day Dale was lost and watched a sailing star go south to north. We felt it was Dale racing above so we felt that was our Dale Sr. In spite of heavy hearts from losing Dale we all felt comforted. Our way Dale let us know he was in Heaven with Neil Bonnett racing. A night and a day to remember Dale Earnhardt Sr. We loved him then and we love him still . Now Jerry and Sugar Bear have joined Dale and Neil and all are enjoying the heavens above. Awaiting our turn-- Gloria and Bear from Texas
@@Jessup004 Not so to us. Dale Sr was devoted to his fans of which the Oppermans from Texas will always love and miss him. Dale always remembered his roots and he supported the common people. The Oppermans from Texas will always love and miss you Dale Earnhardt, Sr Jerry and Sugar Bear and Gloria and Bear from Texas
@gloriaannopperman2734 why was it when I was a little kid I waited for several hours to get his autograph and when I got up to him and was the last person in the line he cussed me and said he was done and wasn't going to sign anything I had. Yeah I called him a asshole for that and my parents agreed with me but hebsaid I should have gotten in the line sooner. So yeah he was stuck up........
Had Nascar stood up to him an forced EVERYONE to wear full face helmets and the neck restraints he'd likely still be alive and Nascar wouldn't have had to go so far overboard in safety or use all the ridiculous gimmicks they do now to attract viewers
Richard petty the best there ever was ,look at the wins and championships Earnhardt not even close to wins. I'm a Earnhardt Sr fan also,but petty is the best ,still the king.
@@lskiller1903 I am a lifelong racing fan and a historian. David only ran full circuit 3 years in which in won championship all 3 years, david didn't like traveling out of the south. He never stayed with same team very long. He only started 570 races and won 105 and at the end really had some terrible cars. Anybody that really questions or argues David not the best really dont have a clue of the history. I am a diehard Earnhardt fan but it dont take much research and knowing racing to know david pearson is the greatest stock car driver that ever lived. You sir are exactly correct.
Neil Bonnett walking with him at one point, two great racers, went well before their time :( I am so lucky even as a small child I got to see the last of the Great Racers win a race and run as fast as they could
Got to watch him run at Talladega in the fall of 1998, my only time. Great day in my life even though he didn't win. Anyone who hasn't been to a Talledega race weekend is missing the time of their life. The whole town comes out.
That's our Dale Sr! Dale and my Jerry and Kix Brooks could have been triplets! They looked so much alike in looks and toughness! Great video and it's a keeper for me! The smile on Dale's face was priceless! We love him and will always love our Dale Sr! Our saddest time on February 18th 2001 was losing our beloved Dale Earnhardt Sr! Good looking men Jerry and Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Kix Brooks! Gloria from Tx
I was/am a Ford man , so when he was on that racetrack , I did a lot of fist shaking in his direction ! However , when he died at turn 4 of Daytona , I was in a complete state of shock ... You can't have NASCAR without Dale Sr. or the King . I had a friend tell me in jest that Richard Petty where he was going to be the only old time great that made it out of racing alive at the time in the early 2000s . However , quite a few like Cale , Jarrett , Gordon , Johnson , Rusty have made it out since then .
I still cry watching my hero win the daytona 500 only y thing that makes me cry more is remembering the day he died a huge partof my Hart died I'm that day.rest in peace intimadator I'll always miss you and your number 3.
Dale Sr will always be the best of all time for us!! Our hero Dale Earnhardt Sr. The Oppermans from Texas will always love and miss you Dale Earnhardt Sr, your devoted fans forever
A carbon copy of my sweet hubby Jerry! Such an uncanny resemblance between these two guys! My hubby joined Dale in Heaven in 2018 and our sweet service dog Sugar Bear joined Dale and Jerry as well! Well done and fitting for Dale Earnhardt Sr! Our forever fave! RIP sir with the Angels! Tx fan Gloria
That's why NASCAR needs to put Dale Jr as a leader in the sport since anything he says most of NASCAR Fans agree with his opinion and perspective on situations that come up all year long him and Burton can put this sport back on track where it belongs not in a damn wrestling ring
Lee Meister What is stupid about my statement, not like JR is representing Earnhardt and family, he joined the "rainbow" warriors so no, not a stupid statement. Let me guess you love Vaseline as well eh?
#1 Jr has the same fan base as his father. The fans that were Seniors are now Jr's with obviously a few exceptions like yourself. # 2 He is his own person. He has done well and has added another dimension to the Earnhardt name and legacy. #3 I believe his father would be very proud of him. He may have done better if his father would have lived and kept DEI but alas that did not happen. #4 No one will ever replace the Intimidator, not even Jr.--So if your waiting for that to happen, you'll die first dude. As for the vaseline--You will have to ask your wife about that!!
Nascar died, that sad Sunday. Love him, hate him, DALE WAS THE VERY BEST!! We lost an icon, a HERO, a REAL MAN, THE INTIMIDATOR!! I was at Talladega for his 10th and last win. Just ain't the same without DALE!!
God only made one and He called him back to race for Him. Best looking sexy Nascar driver Dale Earnhardt Sr who could sing well and look so good on the track and working on his farm. The Oppermans from Texas will always love and miss you Dale Earnhardt Sr, your devoted fans forever. Jerry and Sugar Bear and Gloria and Bear from Texas
i have to say dale sr is my fave nascar driver in the world, me and my mom love him, sad that he is gone but we still love hime, but next in line jhimmy jhonson
I had there honor to have a friend that never changed since first win to last win just someone that always asked want he could I do or help with daily since the day my father passed away !!! I miss my brother Dale and can't till we meet a again to tell how I finally sit down a finally hunting rifle to good use and the person to amazing rifle was passed on to.
He was the best driver that ever raced I learned a lot from him I still pull some of his moves when these young boys want to street race with me lol if u know how to race and u learn from the best u can take a V6 and out do a V8 it's not the car it's all about the driver
you know I was on a Jeff Gordon video and a guy said that Jeff Gordon built Hendrick well freaking Jeff Gordon had a little bit of luck with him but freaking Dale built rcr from the ground up
I'm reminded of a statement Bob Costas made in Ken Burns' Baseball documentary regarding the great players of the 30's-50's. I'll paraphrase it here as I've already had similar conversations with younger people in recent years. Dale Earnhardt was well into his prime when I began following NASCAR at age 4 in 1988. Gordon? Good driver and an even better human being. Stewart? The most purely talented driver after 2001. Johnson? Benefactor of a gimmicked system. Larson? Probably the best talent of his generation. You never saw Earnhardt kid. You never saw the real thing.
felt sad for his family. and for my fav racer who won Daytona and had his win had his life messed up because Dale died that day. one thing about it though, his death saved so many racers lives.
And nascar to this day cant figure out when they started dying. Gloves off and race. Everyone is sick of the rules. Get cars from the showroom floor and make it nascar again.
This man was the ultimate driver and my Hero. Talented....there are no words for what he did. I met him 7 times and every time it was an honor to be in his presence. Dale....never will be another. You will be missed forever.

The man the myth and the legend! He is truly missed in our amazing sport
Dale Sr would'nt have let Nascar become what it has. Miss him !
The Intimidator set the pace for the sport, his love of driving circles faster than everybody else was pure.
Has become the pussifaction of America
All that's out there now is titty babies just out of diapers
Dale was Mr. NASCAR. It's not NASCAR anymore. It's a bunch of crybabies.
Had Nascar stood up to him an forced EVERYONE to wear full face helmets and the neck restraints he'd likely still be alive and Nascar wouldn't have had to go so far overboard in safety or use all the ridiculous gimmicks they do now to attract viewers
If Dale was alive I bet we would not have stage racing and this new point system he was the voice of Nascar and he is dearly missed the man in black
Dale had zero control over what NASCAR did or does. NASCAR is controlled by the France family period..
@@lskiller1903 still had plenty of influence
@@lskiller1903 you are blind
he had more control than you think they listened to him and asked his advice. @@lskiller1903
Best there ever was or ever will be!!!
LOL David Pearson is the best driver ever period.!
Excellent man the best never be one even get close to him
Richard petty the best there ever was ,look at the wins and championships Earnhardt not even close to wins. I'm a Earnhardt Sr fan also,but petty is the best ,still the king.
Jerry Ferguson petty was a better mechanic and making the car be faster but once most cars were even dale was a better driver

This was when NASCAR had great racing.not the junk they have today
For real
I can still see him on the track 3 nation 4 life and dam proud of it
Anybody else remember 1990 when he had that Lumina that would fly?!?!!
+Rusty M Shackleford I sure do. Dale won his last championship in 1994 in a Lumina. Chevey switched to the Monte carlo in 1995.
+TheJer1963 buy he won the 500 in a Monte Carlo
*****
Yes, in 1998.
that there 1998 car is the reason I got PLUS airbrushed on my trucks hood
Rusty M Shackleford yes sir, my mom had a black Lumina and had #3 stickers everywhere.
HAPPY 65TH BIRTHDAY DALE SR.WE MISS YOU SO MUCH IT STILL HURTS.
GARTHBOOTS my grandpa is 66
Dale and I are 72 this year..Gloria Opperman 4/29/51 and 09/07/51. Wonderful year for Dale and me
there will never be another like him
I don't know, my friends say I drive just like him, lol
Ya I hear ya, Dale Jr turned out to be a flop.
I wasn't a big fan of Earnhardt but I was 62 years old to date past and I cried like a baby he was too man I still miss him
I was/am a Ford man , so when he was on that racetrack , I did a lot of fist shaking in his direction ! However , when he died at turn 4 of Daytona , I was in a complete state of shock ... You can't have NASCAR without Dale Sr. or the King .

Ol Dale was pretty damn good on Saturday nights too!
Got that right
18 years ago Nascar died when we lost Dale RIP sir we will never forget #3

Still missed, will never be the same! Love'm or hate'm,the best there ever was!
The best NASCAR driver in history
My dads favorite driver dale sr the best in nascar history
MD21037 damn straight
David Pearson is the best driver in NASCAR history.!!!
Richard petty the best.
My brothers all time favorite driver
Oh I really miss that smile smirk getting out of the race car
Johnny Collins Isn't that kind of counterintuitive? A smile and a smirk are basically the same thing.
no they aren't you can smile without making someone think you are better than them or hey I just pulled one over on you-THE SMIRK
jennifur sun But "smile smirk" sounds dumb.
well. what ever. i love his songs smile better
TIMMMAY67 it's a smirk an a great big smile, I just kicked your ass..dumb fuck
He will always be remembered, loved and missed!!!
die hard Ford fan, but I will always love that black number 3.
Matt Johnston Die-hard?
Your right, typo.
Matt do you remember when Dale drove the #15 Wrangler Fords for Bud Moore?
@@irongoatrocky2343 , I was too young, I was born in spring of 85
Missed him for years now. You know you've got to beat the man to be the man. Well you cant beat this man in my heart and memories.
I truly loved this man he was just so awesome !!
Rest in Peace Dale Earnhardt you are the best for me there will never be another one like you
My favorite NASCAR driver with my favorite country boys. What more could a lady ask for? Miss Dale though. Such a great competitor. Gone too soon.

HERE. WE. COME. BROO
💕 ONNN. 🔥
I don't know if many realize this but "Sunday Money" was also the name on Dale Sr's yacht that he resided on when he was in Daytona for Speed Weeks!
There was a brand new 100' Hatteras named "Sunday Money" he was never to step foot on
The man!!
He was a great driver he was taken away from us to soon loved to watch him i think his most famous pass was in the grass can't hold him back
you know I was on a Jeff Gordon video and a guy said that Jeff Gordon built Hendrick well freaking Jeff Gordon had a little bit of luck with him but freaking Dale built rcr from the ground up

Greatest driver of all time!! I believe he would of driven for at least another 10 years had he not had his daytona wreck in 2001.. Greatly missed!!
Love The Man!!!!
This. Was a very, very cool video to share. Thanks a ton. :)
