Dubbed "The Intimidator" for his hard-driving, paint-swapping style, Dale
Earnhardt knifed his black No. 3 car through two decades of stock-car racing
until Feb. 18, when he died in a crash at the Daytona 500. Many NASCAR fans
loved him, some loved to hate him, but the North Carolina-bred, mustachioed
"man in black" was mourned by millions as a symbol of the sport's
blue-collar roots — and of its essentially dangerous nature. |
