...Kyle is dangerous IMO sometimes, drives too crazy sometimes. Beats the crap out of his car sometimes too, but he definitely seems fearless, but that might not always be a good thing.

Did you ever watch races 25-30 years ago? Dale Sr. perfected the style. There's a legendary saying, "if you ain't rubbin', you ain't racing'".

"You win some, lose some, and wreck some." - Dale Earnhardt Sr.

"The winner ain't the one with the fastest car, it's the one who refuses to lose." - Dale Earnhardt

"I jumped out of the car to address this thing, knowing I had to address it right then or run from Cale [Yarborough] the rest of my life. And with that, Cale went to beating on my fist with his nose." - Bobby Allison Speaking about the famous fight ending the 1979 Daytona 500

"The competition, of course, is No. 1. Dale Earnhardt Jr., we have to remember, is Dale Earnhardt Jr. He could sell a chocolate popsicle to a woman in a white dress. It's easy. ... Kyle Busch, he wouldn't be able to sell a favorite candy bar to a kid, I guess." - Kyle Busch, on whether marketing and sponsor demographics play a role in his search for a new team.

"There are certain guys who you can race with, and they'll race you hard and clean. "[Earnhardt Sr.] is not one of those guys." - Ricky Rudd about Dale Earnhardt Sr's driving style

No, I only started seriously watching races in 1993 but I’ve seen some old races on tv, and yes, Dale Sr. was intimidating and all that you said! The first race we went to was the June Pocono race, my Father’s Day gift to my husband. It was the next race right after Davey Allison had died. Our first race and our guy won, we were thrilled for that. Him and Rusty battling it out, it was awesome!

We moved here to PA just over a year ago, now we are 8 miles away from the Pocono track! My sister lives outside of Chattanooga with access to Bristol and Talledega even, but she and her family aren’t in to Nascar..what a waste, lol!!

Now they all have to play nice. The last big fight I remember was between Harvick and I think it was Ricky Rudd, when Harvick flew over his car to get to Ricky
