I didn't watch the video of the kid getting hit because I don't want to watch someone die, but the kid ran onto the race line while sprint cars were running and those things have giant wings on the right side that can't help visibility. Is there really a chance this wasn't just a horrific accident?

There's literally no chance that it was anything other than an accident, predicated by the moron exiting the car, but we live in an era where if a perceived crime takes place and idiots cry loud enough, criminal charges are pressed so the DA looks effective.

The DA won't look very effective when there's no guilty verdict

Doubtful it gets past the grand jury but it's the DAs job to submit it if there is any question.

Not the most graceful but finally we can get that butt shake again for one last time. I almost won't be surprised if he gets that outfit from the Napa commercial and just have it be Aaron's sponsored. Imagine interviewing him after the dance.

Watched the ESPN Sports Century piece on Dale Earnhardt and now going to watch old races of his. He had a hell of a personality, good thing Brian France has decided those aren't necessary any longer

Part of the reason a lot of people hated Earnhardt was he was allowed to do whatever with no penalty, but the second a Rusty Wallace or Ernie Irvan showed up he'd cry to NASCAR and they'd crucify those guys in drivers meetings.

His personality is the only one they let flourish in the last 35 years, and even that was a manufactured personality.

He was the Intimidator, they tell us, yet I never saw him do anything intimidating other than run people over. He was a small, quiet guy who generally ran to his hauler when his crew was in a fistfight on pitroad.

That was TNN's booth crew from 1996 to the end, so yep.

e- Glenn Jarrett in victory lane.

And, as an Earnhardt hater at the time, that was like porn, especially with scorned Earnhardt flipping him off on the cooldown lap. Mayfield's post-race trolling was incredible: "I wanted to rattle his cage a little bit."

I remember that Earnhardt's fans resented that race to the point where they were gleefully bringing it up as "karma" when the whole meth thing broke.

Dale Earnhardt fans were mentally ill.

How many of his wins didn't involve intentionally wrecking another driver? Jeremy Mayfield seemed pretty cool except for the whole meth thing, and I am still caremad about the fine Carl Long got years back.

What races would you gents recommend I watch, I have some free time

edit: Oh Dale meant to just rattle his cage, not spin him around, makes sense
