E:60 explores the legacy and tragic passing of Dale Earnhardt 20 years ago. Watch Intimidator: The Lasting Legacy of Dale Earnhardt, Sunday at noon ET on ESPN.
Met him at the Daytona Mtr Speedway testing our car. He was there just hanging out watching the Rolex 24 cars run/test. Very laid back. Easy going and loved the cars.
Like many of you I was watching that race with some friends, real hardcore NASCAR types. They laughed and joked when "The Intimidator" would pull a semi dick move on the other racers but screamed bloody murder when he was put into the wall. Would not listen as I laughed at them because their hero had been treated to some of his own medicine. Of course this was before we knew. . .
