Just a very sad Dale fan that no one could possibly answer my question but would like to here what other fans have to say!

Racing is a dangerous sport. No matter how strongly safety is stressed, there will always be unbelieveable and fatal accidents.
Several years ago Michael Waltrip was in an accident so horrendous that his car virtually exploded (after hitting the end of a wall @ 150+ MPH). No one believed it to be surviveable. Safety crew found him under the detached roof of his car, still belted into his seat, blinking stupidly and wondering what had happened. He was not seriously injured. Go Figure.

I am going to give you an answer that I hope you can accept; Dale died as in the circle of life, some climb the ladder to success and others ascend to the place of success. What I am saying is that man can climb the ladder on his own or he can do as Jacob in the bible said about the angels ascending up and down the ladder or stairway to heaven. To climb, man has to be willing to step on others to get to the top, but when God is first in your life and you keep him first, then God insures that you ascend up the ladder the Christian way. Dale died due to human error, and was at the top in his career, but when he wrecked he left behind for other drivers that would race a safer means for survival in the event that they were faced with the same type of emergency in their racing careers. His son, Dale Jr. is one such racer that is reaping the benefits. God did not cause the death of Dale Earnhart Sr. but he did allow it as it was time for Dale to join God in heaven. God said to him in that incident that he hit that wall on the track...well done my good and faithful servant and Dale died due to the circle of his life being at the finish line for what purpose he fulfilled on the earth. I hope this helps. Probably not what you are looking for, but a touch of reality.

He died because it was his time, as others have said... You can look at it like this. His death has caused a rapid promotion of many safety devices to be made mandatory for all drivers and tracks. Before his death, open faced helmets and HANS devices were an option, the drivers seats were cheap and outdated, among other things. Also, the SAFER barriers were installed at a much faster pace immediately following his death. So, as sad I was that he died, his death has left a lasting positive effect on todays NASCAR.

I don't think there is a correct answer to this question. It's something that was just a fluke. We have seen him wreck his cars much worse and walk away. All I can say is that God has a plan for everybody and maybe it was his plan for Dale to leave us at Daytona.

his helemet had noting to do with his death,, he woudl have died if he was wereing a full face helmet ,
Hun it was his time i stilll rember watching that race and seeing him crash it was a dissapontment to see Dale hit the wall , but i said to my father its oky hes had alot worse wrecks. Then i went to town and when i came home my father was sitting there on the couch in tears telling me dale had died i thought he was joking but no he wasnt, I think that the gods above needed a good race car driver to be up there with the other racing ledganes that have died. so that whern us nascar fans got to hevan will have some good racing to watch!

He was such an ****** that God just had to take him off this Earth before he ended up killing some one on the track with his sorry a$$ knocking people out of his way, like he was somebody special. He can't hold a candle to Tony Stewart's driving abilities! j/k I really miss seeing him at the track

Girlfriend...it was his time. I believe there is a plan for everyone. It's out of our hands, as much as hat pains me as well. But for all the good...we must endure the bad. He will always live in my heart, cuz I am I die-hard "NASCAR" fan forever!

Try reading "Living with dying.). Death is a fact of life. The only way I have found to cope with loved ones dying is to know that had they lived, something extremely crippling and painful could have been in their future and this is God's way of preventing suffering. Just know that it is ok to morn.

No one has a correct answer for this question- All I know is he probably died with a smile on his face knowing that waltrip and junior took the race.
