Summary

Known as the Intimidator, Dale Earnhardt made a name for himself as a fierce competitor, a man with ambition and passion who would never settle for anything less than the best. He inspired both devotion and bitter hatred among NASCAR followers, earning his nickname for the relentless winner-takes-all attitude. On February 18, 2000 in a tragedy that stunned the nation and led to an outpouring of grief the likes of which the sports world has seldom seen, popular race car driver Dale Earnhardt slammed into the wall and lost his life on the last turn of the last lap of the Daytona 500. 10 years after this tragic event, readers are still as committed as ever to remembering and honoring their racing hero. The Intimidator may be gone but his legend will live on forever.
