Today there is no glory.
By now you've heard the accolades of the man called The Intimidator, the man every driver hated to have in his rearview mirror but loved to beat. If there was a driver known by race fans and non-race fans alike, it was Earnhardt. But after the accident in Turn 4 at the end of the Daytona 500, we've lost Dale Earnhardt. Fans milled about, stunned, driving their cars and pickup trucks away without the usual horn-honking and celebratory waving of flags bearing the slanted white No. 3, no matter the result. A pall will forever fall over the track long known as Earnhardt's nemesis.
