      We actually know precious little about Dale's politics, but he *did * oppose the Confederate Flag, which in a world like Nascar actually counts for something. While he was tough as nails on the race-track, he was a pretty decent man off-track and his son Dale Jr. is from what I've seen also a stand-up guy. Nevertheless, Dale Earnhardt was and still is the prodigal son of the South, and a working-class hero with many qualities we would assign to the 1920's rednecks fighting their bosses.

      Also, I absolutely enjoy leftist Dale Earnhardt memes
