Dale Earnhardt saved Ryan Newman's life

I like to think if dale survived he would’ve realized how close he was to death and would’ve brought it up with the Frances.

Jr did an interview saying his dad would’ve only run a season or two more, and Harvick did an interview saying AOL signed on with Childress in 2001 for the 30 for a few races. Harvick was supposed to be part-time in 2001

Late 2001, when the 21st century in general took a rapid and sharp downhill turn. It feels like we are in a dark, alternate timeline.

RIP Dale you are loved and missed

We can only wonder what would happen after. Sigh.

If Dale Sr wasn't killed:

It's always emotional talking about Dale, man. Passion is what made him one of the world's greatest drivers and it's what made him so dear to the fans of the sport. He left a mark on NASCAR that can't be repeated.

I honestly believe dale jr would’ve won a championship, he lost his aid and guidance when sr died.

I feel the sport would have been very different, as drivers lost there voice when Dale died. NASCAR was able to do what they wanted because no one stood up to them the way Dale did.

Dale Sr. still leaves an impact today. My Dad grew up watching him and would tell me stories of his drives through the entire field of cars! His picture still embodies NASCAR today. It is sad to see that his death triggered all the safety improvements, but how many people has he saved? You are still missed today Dale Sr.
