Yes it’s true… Dale Earnhardt, “The Intimidator”, #3 Goodwrench, 7 time Winston Cup Champion, died today in a spectalulary terrifying racing accident. On the last lap, in the last curve of the Daytona 500, he lost control and careened to his death. Let us have a moment of silence to this icon of Souther pride, and respect to his family as they pick of the pieces.

Moderator’s Note:
It happens, muffinman, especially when shock and grief happen. I’m locking off the thread just so we don’t have both threads running in tandem.
