DALE JR'S CAREER AT HMS
HISTORY OF DALE EARNHARDT
YOU LOVED HIM OR HATED HIM. THAT WAS THE RACER CALLED DALE EARNHARDT. WHAT YOU SAW IS WHAT YOU GOT. AND HE GAVE IT HIS ALL OUT ON THE TRACK. OUT THERE TO WIN RACES AND DID IT STYLE AT TIMES TOO. HE WAS CALLED THE INTIMIDATOR AS HE WAS ABLE TO INTIMIDATE THE HECK OUT OF A DRIVER AND THE BLACK NUMBER 3 WAS THE ONE CAR THAT EVERY DRIVER HATED TO SEE IN THE THEIR REAR VIEW MIRROR AS THEY KNEW IF THEY DIDN'T GET OUT OF HIS WAY HE'D MOVE THEM OVER HIS WAY. YOU DIDN'T DO THAT IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE RESPECT FROMTHE OTHER DRIVERS AND THAT'S WHAT DALE HAD : RESPECT.
THEYD BE MAD AFTER THE RACE FOR WHAT HE DID BUT WOULDN'T STAY THAT WAY AS THEY KNEW WHAT HE WAS LIKE OUT THERE ON THE TRACK. HE ALSO COULD DO THE ONE THING NO OTHER DRIVER WAS ABLE TO DO . AND THAT IS WALK INTO THE NASCAR TRAILER AND GET THEM TO LISTEN. THAT IS VERY MUCH MISSED TODAY. HE WAS ONE TO NEVER GIVE UP COULD DRIVE A BAD CAR AND WIN WITH IT AND GET INTO A BEAT UP CAR AND GET BACK TO RACING AFTER A CRASH. HE NEVER GAVE UP. THAT WAS DALE EARNHARDT THE RACER.
HE CARED ABOUT THE FANS SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS SHIRTS ANYTHING THEY HAD AND CARED ABOUT THE ANIMALS AS WELL. HE STARTED SEVERAL CHARITIES THAT HELPED THE CHILDREN AND THE ANIMALS AND ENVIROMENT AS WELL. HE WAS ALSO STARTING TO BE A BETTER FATHER HAVING LEARNED FROM HIS MISTAKES IN THE PAST. ALL THAT WAS DALE EARNHARDT.
DALE EARNHARDT AND THAT BLACK NUMBER 3 WILL FOREVER BE MISSED BUT THE MEMORIES OF HIM AND THE CAR WILL BE FOREVER CHERISHD BY THE FANS.
