DAYTONA SPECIAL

An excellent video profile of the late, great (and usually not media-friendly) Dale Earnhardt Sr. Notable moment: autographing a fan’s revolver. Notable quotes:

• “Hey, Leroy.”

• “C’mon, give me eggs!”

• “Watch your head.”

And a reminder of Earnhardt’s ability; check that save off the infield.

  5. RebeccaH - mine, too. Family legend has it that there was more than one moonshine runner in my family tree…maybe that’s why they lit out for the wide open, desolate places in northeastern Montana & became sheepherders!

  6. Earnhardt taking that short cut at Riverside’s horseshoe. He called it lawn mower racing. Nothing like it before or since.

  7. Other half’s just left Orlando to return to Melbourne after three days of Daytona. Some spluttering followed by F’N FANTASTIC is all I’ve gotten out of him so far.

  9. Heh, do it all the time on the PC - should see the skidmarks - some of ‘em on the track ...

    Look at that God-awful analogue NTSC footage - you Seppos must be glad to have digital nowadays.

  10. Say! Notice how the word “infield”, with a cunning jiggle, transforms into the word “infidel”?

    Spooky.

  11. I cant find a link for this, but the first time I saw Baseketball, I nearly broke down in tears I was laughing so hard when he turns around and says “Can this thing go any faster?!?!”

    No one else in the room had even seen a NASCAR race, let alone knew who he was.  I got some odd looks.

    I had to explain he was basically the NASCAR Peter Brock.  Without the polariser.
