It was 10 years ago today announced that racing legend Dale Earnhardt Senior died while competing at the Daytona 500. It is no secret that not every motor sport is a fan of the NASCAR scene afficianado, but there is no denying the absolute ability and presence, the racers to bring the game both on and off the track. Nowhere was this more evident than with Earnhardt, who jumped from a long line of circle track racers. Even though series fans rooted for another driver, Earnhardt they respected his down-to-earth nature and old-school approach to racing. When Earnhardt was behind the wheel, it was clear he was not there to make friends or play nice. He was there to win.
While Earnhardt's death was a tragedy on many levels, we can not help but feel that NASCAR lost more than a symbol, when he passed. The current area is too polished by nameless media machines, the heart and the human emotions that inhabited the old-timers brought to the table deficiency. Maybe this is the reason why we can not simply bring us the front of the television flop for 500 laps more.
