re: Earnhardt Senior Passing...Do You Still Remember? What were you doing at the time?

I was watching as at the time NASCAR was appointment TV. It was FOX’s first race broadcast. I remember pre race a taped segment where Bradshaw did a ride along with Earnhardt. I also remember during a caution period, FOX captured Earnhardt flipping off rookie Kurt Busch, then showing the reaction of Earnhardt’s pit crew laughing their arse off over it.

2 hours later, it all went wrong. Like many, I didn’t think the crash looked real bad. But then DW saying “those are the kind of wrecks that hurt you” gave me an uneasy feeling.

Then Jeannie Zelasko interviewed Ken Schrader. When that interview was done, I had a terrible feeling of the outcome.
