i've never been a huge NASCAR fan, and wasn't to versed in the sport at the time, so while I knew the name, it didn't really hit me as a huge deal... i mean, a guy died doing the sport he loved, and that was sad, but i really had no idea that he was that successful and popular until they continued to make a huge deal about it, then i realized he was a huge star in that sport

I love Dale Sr. But his death was entirely his own fault.

Watching the race at home. Didn't think the accident looked all that bad.

Working the grill at McDonalds on Rushing in Denham. We had the race on the radio back there.
One of those moments I don't think I'll ever forget.

Watched it from start to finish at a crawfish boil. Wreck looked like a normal crash. Didn't think for a secon that it instantly killed him. After seeing Schrader waving for help, i knew it wasnt good. It's a shame the hell that Sterling Marlin took from the fans. Blaming him for Sr death.

While I will watch most any type of motorsport NASCAR is my least favorite. That day I was flipping channels and just stopped on the race maybe 2 laps before the accident. My wife happened to be looking at the TV when the accident happened and remarked "Somebody just died". I spent the next 3-4 minutes explaining why they probably only had minimal injuries to only later have to admit my wife was prescient.

I was watching the race on tv. I was surprised that he died given that the damage to the car wasn't that bad. We've seen worse damage to cars and the driver walks away.

Was sitting in the infield by turn 1. 12 years old. Still remember nearly everyone around the rv’s quiet as a church mouse, waiting to hear something. then a lot of tears.

I remember watching the race and the FOX coverage ending without any official word on his condition. Then I remember standing in my living room and hearing the news on ESPN.
NASCAR has never totally recovered from his death. He left a void that just couldn’t be filled. He carried a lot of influence with NASCAR and I believe NASCAR would be in a better position today if he were still alive. That’s not the way it was meant to be, though.

I was at a church youth retreat. Two of the leaders came up that evening and sang “knocking on heavens door” in Sr’s honor.
Grew up near Rockingham and going to the races pretty often. Rockingham was the next week and they were letting fans sign his merch trailer. Wonder what they ever did with that..

It was a sad day for me. I watched the race and his crash didnt seem that bad. I found out about it watching the NBA all star game and at halftime they said he was dead. I just sat there stunned.

I was 17/18 at the time. Woman with a blank stare on her face saying he just died and pointed to a display of him. I got my manager and he quitook it down to 'get rid of it' and bybthat I mean put in his man cave.
