Earnhardt
dead at 49

Dale Earnhardt is dead at age 49 after an accident on the final lap of Sunday's Daytona 500. (AP)
Dale Earnhardt is dead. The beloved 'Intimidator' of NASCAR's Winston Cup series crashes hard into the wall during Sunday's final lap at the Daytona 500. Earnhardt was third at the time of the wreck, with the drivers for the team he owns -- Michael Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt Jr. -- running 1-2.

I hated to hear this as with no mopars in the field for a long time I looked to earnhardt as a great driver and someone to root for. It's a shame that this had to happen to them. But maybe now nascar will wake up and put into place the device that has been available to stop these types of injurys. Adam Petty's death was also the same injury. There is nothing they can do to stop the accidents but they can do something to keep these guys from literally loosing there heads in this type of accident.

Its a shame someone so great had to pass away.

All of racing will be mourning this loss as the petty losses of late for a long time.
