Fifteen years ago Dale Earnhardt the legendary NASCAR race car driver died in an accident a the Daytona International Speedway. Earnhardt was one of the greatest ever in the sport. He was a multiple time Winston Cup Champion. At 49 he left the world way too soon. There will never be another of his kind.

Fifteen years… It’s difficult to believe that much time has passed. I recall the day vividly. It was a very sad day indeed.

My fiance, who knew literally everything about NASCAR in and out and even had a radio show about it, stopped watching the sport after Earnhardt’s death. He gets back into it occasionally now, but he said it’s just not the same, and hasn’t been ever since. I don’t know much about NASCAR, but because of my fiance’s reaction, I can see how powerful that event was.
