“The Intimidator” Dale Earnhardt Sr. and his favorite 1976 car

Dale Earnhardt Sr. was the king of NASCAR from 1975 till 2001 and is still known as a legend. He got the name “The Intimidator” due to his competitive nature and vigorous driving style, which won him seven Winston Cup Championships. He would spin cars around like as if they were flies and rode the tracks with such a fierce fullness that it intimidated the people around him.

Everyone surrounding Dale knew they could not compete or mess with him during or outside the races, though his son argues differently. Dale’s son further stated that pleasing his dad was not something people did because they feared his nature.
