Unfortunately, in this race one year later, Ricky would cost Dale a championship. 9.

Rudd crowded Earnhardt on the bottom and Earnhardt pushed a bit up the track into Ricky causing them to spin. You can't assign clear fault to anyone and I'm a big Sr. fan. 11.

Earnhardt fans are the biggest whiners on the planet. Dude spent his career knocking people out of the way, but if someone just stands their ground and refuses to be pushed around and they whine and moan like scalded dogs. 14.

I loved all the high fives Mayfield got from all the other teams while driving down the pit lane to victory circle at Pocono in 2000 after he gave Earnhardt a taste of his own medicine. Earnhardt was a stubborn, onery cuss who couldn't take it when it was dished back to him. Of course these days anyone broadcasting a NASCAR event can't say anything bad about Saint Dale. 15.

Anyone would be disappointed they lost. They asked him after that race about the contact and he said we had a good day in the points. Earnhardt went on to finish 2nd in the points and unfortunately didn't get to win his 8th championship in 2001, while Mayfield kept doing meth. The '89 race was Rudd's fault, Dale ran the same line the whole race and Rudd drove in way too deep on the last lap. He was desperate for a win and that cost Dale the title. It's the only championship that Rudd really made an impact on. And Dale was right, they should have fined him for that. Dale might have rubbed a little bit, but he raced hard. What Rudd did wasn't "standing his ground," he was just ignorant. 18.

They are so jealous of Dale's accomplishments, and the fact that every time a driver got near Dale they got so nervous they lost the car and spun out and all the non Earnhardt fans cried "dirty driver". Dale Jr had the same ability when you watched him drive to those 2 Busch Series titles in 98 and 99. Looked like the first couple years in Cup he was going to be just as good, but concussion problems derailed his shot. Despite being unable to see straight and off balance, he had so much Earnhardt awesomeness in him he was still pulling off wins and being a top driver. Even Kerry Earnhardt won 4 out of the 11 ARCA races he entered in his career just by getting into the car and letting his Earnhardt aura float him around the track to the checkered flag. 21.

The jack fell and injured a crew member on Lee Faulk's #31 call and they needed to get an ambulance across the track. To the poster above: ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) 23.

Dale Sr was known to dominate races while steering with his mustache, and only used his hands in particularly heavy lapped traffic. He sometimes took long, satisfying naps during green flag runs while his mustache steered and his right foot never lifted. 24. nohbody posted: 10.30.2019 - 1:22 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) All the anti-Earnhardt people here sure have cloudy memories. 25.

After Means failed to qualify in his #52, he moved to Junie Donlavey's #90. Source: Ultimate Racing History 27.
