Book - Dale Earnhardt Tribute (CheckerBee)
Item Number: NC-03015February 18, 2001, - a dark day at Daytona !
All eyes were on the two leaders going down the final stretch. Waltrip, who had taken the lead 15 laps before, was running ahead do Dale Jr. - and they were only seconds from the finish line. Closely following them was Earnhardt. Battling for third place, Earnhardt´s car touched Sterling Marlin´s Dodge. Earnhardt´s #3 suddenly fishtailed, nose down and slid toward the track´s apron. In the blink of an eye, the car jerked to the right and cut across the path of oncoming cars, colliding with Ken Schrader´s yellow Pontiac. The two cars hit the upper wall and Earnhardt´s car went sliding into the infield grass. - No one thought that Earnhardt´s crash would be so serious and within minutes however, he found himself being escorted to Halifax Medical Center where his dead was pronounced at 5:16 p.m. According to the preliminary autopsy that was performed the following day, Earnhardt´s death was caused by blunt force trauma to his head and neck. He also suffered fractures of the sternum, eight broken ribs on his left side and a broken left angle. The injuries on the left side of his body may be due to the broken seat belt that was found in his car. With a broken belt in his lap, Earnhardt´s body was probably thrown forward into the steering wheel. And, without a full-face helmet to protect his head, his chances for survival plummeted.
When I heard about Earnhardt´s crash, a shock was going through my mind, - not only because I am a race driver from the heart and soul, but also because I have been a great fan of him and I loved to watch him racing alive. For me he was a living legend and he always will.
Thanks Dale!!!
