The Top 10 American Racing Drivers In History

November 15, 2018

9. Dale Earnhardt

One of the greatest drivers in NASCAR history, what is there to say about Dale Earnhardt? He won shedloads of trophies, including seven Winston Cup championships. He won 76 Winston Cup races, including the Daytona 500, and finished fourth in the 24 Hours of Daytona in 2001. He was a highly skillful driver in every respect. He drove aggressively, earning himself the nickname of The Intimidator, and he was perfectly happy to spin out other drivers if necessary, or to settle a score. When others attempted to do this to him, he would hold on. Eddie Cheever nudged him onto the grass in the 2001 IROC event at Daytona, but he held fast.

When it comes to drivers who are fueled by a desire for glory, Earnhardt is the epitome. He won because that was what he needed to do to be satisfied. Nothing less than victory would do. His courage, intelligence, and skill mark him out as one of the best to ever race.
