  • Dale Earnhardt

    Even if you are not a Nascar fan, there is a documentary on Spike TV that is replaying Wednesday. I'm not a big Nascar fan, but he was a true man and bad ass behind the wheel. The show is called I am Dale Earnhardt.

    If you can beat them, Earnhardt them (tap their bumper and spin them out) Then people will think you are an awesome driver...

      I watched a documentary once that portrayed him as a really sorry SOB when it came to his family in the early years....abusive in that first marriage, and when the kids were in their formative younger years.

      ...doesn't seem too far fetched from what I remember of him.

          It was a pretty good show, it did mention that he wasn't really involved in his kids lives. I've never been into NASCAR, but it looked pretty entertaining back in the 80s.

              I had forgotten how much of a dirty driver he really was. Some of it was amusing (passing in the grass or on the dirt on the road courses), but some of it was just plain dirty. I was never really a fan of his, but even looking back at how dirty the antics were, it was a LOT more fun watching back then than it is now.

                              This again. Always thought he must have lacked the skill to beat them fairly, so he'd make them wreck to get by.
