Dale Earnhardt brought new meaning to the term ”racing.” Before Earnhardt, racing is simply getting ahead of your rivals and be the first one to cross the checkered flag. After Earnhardt, racing became screwing your opponents, bang their cars to the wall and then slingshot your way to the checkered flag.

Now, it’s Dale Earnhardt Jr. is trying to relive what Earnhardt senior left NASCAR with. And of course, guys like Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch don’t like it one bit.
