  1. of course there will. every sport has its "greatest athletes" and there is usually a group of them and more get added over time. people thought there would never be anyone as "great" as the king, but then along came dale sr. as a matter of fact, nearly every human endeavor has its "greats" and someone down the line manages to become great as well. isaac newton was the "be-all-and-end-all" in physics for centuries, and then along came einstein. and later, stephen hawking. those who come later are not necessarily better, or even "the same," but great in their own way, often building on the achievements of others who came before.


  2. Give me a break,he was just a dirty driver. He was on NASCAR's governing body and they let him get away with driving dirty. What a SOB the guy was.  

  3. Some drivers might win more races, and possibly win more titles, but I don't think that there will ever be a driver that has the iconic status of "The Man in Black" . He was rough and tough racing personified. When they want to show a picture of a racing dog-fight, they show a picture of a driver looking in his rear-view mirror at that black 3.

    There can only be one man to be the first to walk on the moon, and there simply will only be one Dale Earnhardt.

  4. everyone has an opinion...dale sr was a great driver

    so was richard petty, lee petty, curtis turner, and joe weatherly

    and others.....

    in auto racing ..the greatest driver that ever lived, is always just around the next corner....

  5. Nope.

  6. its a cycle thing/ 25 years from now they will dale sr who?

  7. There are plenty of drivers who are greater than him. When did you start watching NASCAR?? 2007?? 2008?? This week??

  8. There have been greater drivers before Sr. He really wasn't called the "greatest" until after his death, outside his fanbase. That's what death will do a lot of times. However, he is definetely in the top 5 as far as best drivers go. As for anybody being as great as Sr. now, I think Gordon is comparable, and leads Sr. in a lot of stats besides championships. A few drivers look to be on their way to being as good a driver as Sr. A few are similar as far as personality goes, but not many, if any are as intimidating as Sr. was on the track. That alone played a big part in many of Sr's success. That's a different kind of talent.

  9. i don't think so. but there is always a chance. anythings possible. if there will be they wont have heart for the sport like Sr. that's for shore

  10. No.

    But there will always be those who wish they were.

    And then there will be those who try to make everyone else believe their driver is the reincarnation of Dale Earnhardt Sr.

    (Sorry Kyle Busch. Get real)

  11. there will never be another big E and dale jr cant tie his daddys shoes

  12. He crashed a lot of other guys to pick up many of his wins, i don't see how NASCAR didn't fine him or bar him from racing. Thank God no one got killed all the times he pulled that bump and run, but in the end karma got him on 2-18-2001.

  13. Maybe with # of wins but never in attitude and agressiveness= intimidation factor. He could cause somebody to crash just by riding behind them,they would spend more time watching him than the track

  14. Well he was a great self promoter, and a bull in a china closet. As long as RCR had the best crew and crew chiefs, he won a few races and a lot of championships when NASCAR was still a southern sport without outside influences. As far as "Great" I'll take A.J Foyt, Big Al Unser, Dave Darland, Tommy Hinnershitz, Jimmy Bryan, Jeff Gordon,Steve Kinser and Tony Stewart any time.  

  15. yea, he's on the track every weekend, this guy's name is jeff gordon.

  17. No. He was a heck of a driver and really an ambassador for the garage. If Bill France needed the drivers' side then Dale was your man. Now there's no one like that and the racing has changed drastically since Dale's death. As for talent, maybe. Kyle Busch has always shown a lot of shine since his first truck race. He almost won that race! I think you haven't seen the last of this kid- he is aggressive. They say that the Logano kid has prodigy talent as well. Those two will never be an 'Intimidator' though...

    I have witnessed Dale Earnhardt win nine times. I used to get so mad when he would take the checkers at Talladega almost every time. The infielders used to say, 'Anybody but Earnhardt'-- I'm glad now that I got to see him win multiples at Atlanta, Talladega, one Darlington, one North Wilkesboro, and one Charlotte.

    So, to answer your question, there will never be another Dale Earnhardt. RIP
