Dale Earnhardt's son, Dale Earnhardt Jr, almost won the day before his father's birthday this past weekend at Richmond. Jr. almost won with having no front brakes from lap 40 on. That's a very difficult feat seeing as you use a ton of brake at Richmond.

This past weekend was Dale Earnhardt's 61st birthday. If he was still around the sport of Nascar would be much different than it is today.

Dale Earnahrdt was the greatest nascar driver and always will be the greatest driver in Nascar history.
