I never felt like that. UNTIL MY 37 YEAR OLD GROWN ASS JUST NOW watched this video, and you, tell his story. Props dude, and to Donut. Thank you.

@BolverkAtlasia Год назад

I was 10 at the time and my mom came back to my room, sobbing about it. It took a day or two to kick in and I cried as well. Walmart, the wonderfully distasteful company that it is, decided to remove all Dale Earnhardt merchandise from the store after his death and my grandma had worked there. She managed to secure me one of the Oreos standees with Dale on it and that's what shelves my whole collection of Dale Earnhardt memorabilia to this day.

My father met Dale Sr twice in his life. 1991 and 1994. I’ll never forget when he passed. I was 2 watching the last couple of laps, my dad just stood there.. emotionless. Thinking, “he’ll get out, he’s gonna be okay.” Then when the announcement went through, he was devastated. 💔

@kingofcrunk4237 Год назад

@jeremybarnard1235 Год назад

I still have the VHS tape of that race. I was watching it live and recording it for my wife. He had an interview before that race that I had recorded but then rewound the tape worried I would not have enough space to record the race in its entirety on one tape. I taped over that interview with Dale. That still haunts me to this day. This video was tough to watch but I will say, you held up better than I would have. Well done!

@sl33ksnypr285652 Год назад

I know there's hundreds of digital copies of it already, but you should really look into getting it digitized. The tape is definitely worth something, but VHS tapes do have a finite lifespan. If you want to keep that specific recording indefinitely, i would very much recommend converting. (And keeping the VHS as a backup of course)

I am a born and raised Kannapolis boy myself. I grew up watching Dale and even lived 2 blocks from his mother's house on a street named V8. Sometimes you would hear engines roaring from that house all the way where I lived and you knew Dale was visiting. I had the opportunity as a child to have conversations with him probably a dozen times, but I had no idea how cool that really was until I got older. Hell my sister was in Dale Jr's class in high-school. When he died it shook our small town to the core. We lost our hometown hero. Now there's several Dale Earnhardt blvds in Kannapolis and a statue in town. Like you said.... legands never die. James thank you so much for telling his story and for being so passionate.

I just spent 3 hours watching the history of motorsports. I watched 3 seperate videos of Dale Sr's crash. As sad as it was, I felt a tear, but didn't cry. I was 2 when he died. I can't say "I was there". I can't say "I loved him". In fact, the main memory that comes to my mind when thinking of Dale is a blanket that was on a couch in my grandparents house. However, watching this story, from start to finish, made my cry harder than I have in a while. I knew what was coming. But seeing, in reality, how it affected someone who's not much older than me, has me in tears as I write this. I hope no one ever has to witness something like this ever again. And I hope that the next time I hear a rags to riches story, it end with riches. Not more rags.

Dude, I don't know how you got through telling that story. When Dale passed on, I was already a 15-year veteran of Nascar fandom and Dale was my favourite driver right from the start. When my wife told me the next morning that he'd died, it honestly took days & days of watching news reports before I could believe anything could have happen to that immortal man. My wife doesn't lie to me - I was so confused about the outcome - Dale's son just took 2nd & Mike (of Dale's own team) took 1st - Mike's brother/announcer was in the booth crying, but over what? Bad news was impossible. Dude, I would still cry & shed tears like yourself if I had to tell the story. You are a brave man. And thanks for spreading Dale's legacy to the younger fans, who might not otherwise have known (through observing your tears) just how important Dale was to Nascar & racing in general.

My family travelled from the UK to Miami to visit relatives and landed the day Dale died. I'd never had any interest in Nascar (other than the Daytona video games) before then but that whole day it was all over the TV - I remember it like yesterday, all these years later. You could see this guy was a proper legend.

@daltonblosser5323 8 месяцев назад

Never would’ve thought that an episode of up to speed would bring me to tears. Dale was an absolute legend.

@johnnytyler5685 2 года назад

When I was a kid, my dad used to call Dale Earnhardt "uncle Dale" when he and I talked about him, and up until I was like 10 years old I thought he actually WAS my uncle! My dad called him that because he and I were huge Earnhardt fans and because Dale looked so much like my dad and his four brothers that if all six of them would've taken a group picture together, you would 100% believe without a shred of doubt that they were all brothers. Earnhardt looks like my uncle Mike's twin, that is how close the resemblance is. They were all around the same age too...Dale Earnhardt was born in 1951 and my dad was born in 1953. My dad had two older brothers and two younger ones, so Dale was about the exact same age as two of my uncles. Anyway, I will NEVER forget the day Dale died. My sister and I were at our grandparents' house that Sunday so I wasn't watching the race with my dad like I normally would've been. But just as we were getting ready to head back home, I saw it announced on the news that Dale had died and I couldn't believe it. I knew my dad would be devastated. My grandparents dropped my sister and I off in the driveway and as we walked up the stairs to the front door, my dad was sitting alone on the front porch in the dark. My sister is a few years younger than me (I was 11 when Dale died) and wasn't a NASCAR fan so she just went in the house to get ready for bed. I sat down on the bench next to my dad, gave him a hug and we both started crying. We didn't even say anything to each other because we both knew who the tears were for. I've never watched a single NASCAR race since that day. My dad occasionally watches them. I have TONS of Dale Earnhardt cars and posters and trading cards and everything you could imagine stored in Rubbermaid boxes in my dad's basement. My dad and I were such huge fans of his, and so were my uncles. I remember my uncle (the brother my dad was closest to who also died around the same time as Dale did) having tons of Earnhardt stuff in his office. To me, Dale was the greatest NASCAR driver ever. It also seems like he was a great person. IMO, NASCAR died with Dale. It's never been the same without him, and I strongly suspect that it never will be. RIP Dale.

@MrWhiteRabbitt 3 года назад

@No One's Innocent Some tracks have a more common "street circuit" as part of the oval. The thing is those cars go full throttle, nearly never brake, the whole time. You're max speed for 2 hours+ depending on the track. Nearly any mistake ends in massive catastrophe. They could do a figure 8 track to have left and right turns, but then they would need an over/underpass at the crossing point and that in itself is quite a design challenge. I'm not trying to convince you of anything, just explaining what made me realize Nascar was cool. I don't watch it but I understand the appeal. Also, in person, it's loud as all fuck and the world vibrates for the whole race.

@Lonech 3 года назад

@No One's Innocent One of the appeals is the focus on face-ripping speeds at a near constant, and where the competition flow is solely moved by crowd control and by being ballsier on a straight-line than most everyone in the grid. The world wishes for a completely straight road to do nothing but battle your rivals neck-to-neck, so oval racing is the next best thing we have.

@The_Fat_Turtle 3 года назад

Even people here in North America like to shit on NASCAR as just going left, saying there's no talent involved, stuff like that but there's very cool things happening when you peak under the surface. Plus it has an incredible history, like Smokey Yunick's constant bending of the rule books, which could get it's own Up to Speed episode with how creative him and his team were with finding new advantages. They basically had to rewrite the rule books every time he raced. It's a fascinating aspect of automotive sports that never gets enough love outside of very specific Southern US markets that do appreciate it fully.

I was like who is that? I know i saw him race but was focused on Richard. Started watching Dale ever since until his last race.
