Gotta love the no-give-up persona of the Intimidator. Giving the team precious points when most wouldn’t even think about looking back at the car once they get into the ambulance. I’m not sure if I would’ve liked him or not if I were alive in the 90s but I easily would have had a ton of respect for the guy. Definitely an individual who deserves recognition for so many reasons. Long live the legend of Dale Earnhardt!

The greatest there ever was and the greatest there ever will be.
After we lost him , nascar has been on a downhill slide and still falling.

It wasn’t all Dale. All of nascar’s new rules and restrictions has really made it a lot less fun.

@slab busterRTR the fact you can look at this footage and think its Earnhardts fault tells me you have no idea how air flows around these cars

It was Dale’s fault, but Larry Mac said it was Larry’s fault because that car was terrible in traffic all day. He said it was so pushy it cost him the win.

Only Dale Earnhardt could get away with being able to get back into the car and continue.
That’d never happen today….

@Jeff Bacon If they keep putting new stupid rules and regulations they are.

Nah he raced in an era where the drivers were tough as nails and not big babies and nascar didn’t micro manage every tidbit detail. There were plenty of drivers who crashed up until the 90s who would get out, check the damage and get back in and drive away. The only significant difference to this was that he got in the ambulance and then got back out. Other than that it occurred fairly regularly

I was sitting in the stands at the entrance to the pits that day and spit up my beer when I saw Earnhardt’s wrecked car come around into the pits under it’s own power. One of the most memorable moments in racing I’ll ever remember witnessing…

Ronald Shank June 30, 2021 at 8:25 pm

It truly was one of those “What the…” Moments! I woulda never expected Dale to get back out of the Ambulance, get back in his Car, and finish the race. That wasn’t just amazing… that was Mind-blowing!!!!!

Dale was one of the greatest drivers to ever sit behind the wheel of a cup car. Love him or hate him, the man could drive.

That’s a legend right there! In 97, he finishes the race with that car. One year later in 98, he finally wins his first and only Daytona 500
