Dale Earnhardt's Death Forever Changed NASCAR
Ten years ago today, Dale Earnhardt died. And he is still the most popular driver in NASCAR.
DAYTONA BEACH, FL (By Mike Bianchi, WGHP) — Ten years ago today, Dale Earnhardt died.
But he is still here.
Everywhere you look, he is still here.
He is here in all of those "3" flags that still flap and flutter in the infield.
He is here in the commemorative black paint job his friend Michael Waltrip had on his car in Thursday's Gatorade 150 qualifying race.
On the 10-year anniversary of his death, "I wanted to celebrate his life," said an emotional Waltrip, who won that 2001 Daytona 500 on the day his friend and boss perished on that final, fatal lap.
