The winner ain't the one
with the fastest car , its the one who refuses to lose- Dale Sr.
"Second place
is just the first loser."
Dale Earnhardt
"I taught you
everything you know but I didn’t teach you everything I know.”
Dale Earnhardt
to Dale Jr.
Dale Earnhardt: "You win some, lose some, and wreck some."
"I just couldn't
wait till I got that big grab on the neck, that big hug. I just knew any minute Dale was going to join me in Victory Lane, and say, 'That's what I'm
talking about, right there.' That wasn't to be. My belief is in a twinkle of an eye...you're in the presence of the Lord.
And that's where I think Dale is."
Michael Waltrip
after the Daytona 500 that gave him his first win and took his boss and friend's life.
"There is only
one lap you want to lead, and that's the last lap."
Ralph Earnhardt's
advice to Dale
[When asked what
his greatest accomplishments are] "Marrying Teresa. The seven (Winston Cup) championships. Winning the Daytona 500. And seeing
Dale Jr. win his first race."
Dale Earnhardt
"To be honest,
more than likely it will take four or five guys to fill the shoes of Dale Earnhardt, if you ever can. He was our hero. But
we've got this big fan base that Dale drew for us, and we've got to find a way to keep them interested in NASCAR racing."
