Man did that piss me off. I can't believe he died in that crash. This is the first time I watched an entire Nascar race. It was so exciting, I actually got into it bigtime. I now see it for the thrill that it is. And then I hear tha Dale died! What the heck. Forget it now, it'll probably be the last race I watch. It made me so sad and angry, forget about it now!

I seen the previous accident earlier in the race. I thought to myself, man these cars are built safe, it was a hell of an accident, cars took flight, and no-one was injured. Totally cool I thought. Technology made this stuff safe. Cool, I'll watch the rest of the race. I watch both Earnhearts protect the lead for Waltrip, I thought it was so cool, this is what it was about, team racing, Earnhearts blocking the lead, and then out of nowhere, right before the end of the race, Crash goes two cars, Earnheart Senior was it it! What! I thought OK, well at least his car (Waltrip's car owned by Earnheart) won the race. Great, and then the news comes out later. What a tragedy. My condolences to the great Earnheart family. Technology failed us. The race killed another legend. Heck with it then, I ain't watching no more, I just can't take it, and I can't support it! MHO


Earnheart died in a last lap crash today at the daytona 500

I'm not a big NASCAR fan, but still what a crush
