This is to funny, because I was going to post the same topic. The guy has been dead for 10 years it's time to move on, and find something else to talk about. What was so great about him that he can not be replaced? He drove a car really fast and crashed and died so what move the freak on.

There were plenty of racing deaths before Earnhardt. There have been plenty after although those names are forgotten.

NASCAR turned Dale Earnhardt's death into a marketing tool. They might as well have just put his body in a mausoleum like Vladamir Lenin and charged admission.

Maybe you should request that Nascar do that so they can get their ratings back up. The would be great to dress him up in his driving costume and drive him around the track a few times. How about have him propped up with his arm extended so you can get your pic with him..

I dunno... many people didn't understand why I was upset when John Lennon was killed... Sam Kinison was another. My own mother thought he got what he deserved for some reason.... Stevie Ray Vaughan another. If you didn't know his music it was no big deal. but that hurt too.... I remember my Father-in-cried when Earnhart died. it didn't bother me much because I wasn't a big fan but I understood....

I understand being sad I guess, but crying over someone you don't even know?? Do you think Dale would have given a sh*t if you would have died?

Well I didn't know your father in law chatted with Dale online, that makes it different because he did actually know him. I thought you meant he just watched him race and had a bond with him like that which would have been rather sad in itself.
