Dale Earnhardt's Devastating What Ifs in the 2001 #Daytona500
#NASCAR
Remembering Brian Naylor, born #OnThisDay in 1923. A navy man in WW2, he raced 7 #F1 GPs (’57-61), first in Coopers then in his own JBWs (pic), without success. #AnorakFact: he finished 42nd in the ’61 #Daytona500, thus becoming the first European driver to race in #Nascar.
Happy 112th birthday to #LeePetty. One of the pioneers of #NASCAR. He was also the 1st 3-time champion of the sport and the 1st winner of the #Daytona500.
Happy 88th birthday to #JanetGuthrie. The 1st female to race in the #Indy500 and the #Daytona500.
#OnThisDay in 1938, American motorsport icon Janet Guthrie was born.
She would go on to become the first woman to compete in both the #Indy500 and the #Daytona500.
Happy 85th birthday to Mr. Wingtip #DaveMarcis. He's 4th on the all-time starts in #NASCAR history, with 883 starts. He also holds some records at Daytona. That includes the most miles ran there & the most #Daytona500 starts, something that King Richard and Dale Sr doesn't have.
Happy 86th birthday to #MarioAndretti. He's won the #IndyCar and #F1 championship along with the #Indy500 and #Daytona500. He's one of the best to never win the #MonacoGP and #LeMans24.

well all right look because as I am sure many of you know even if you are not a fan of #NASCAR it was 25 years ago when #DaleEarnhardt died in a crash on the final lap of the #Daytona500 on Sunday February 18th for the record as I wish I was watching back then even at my age
47 years ago, the 1979 #Daytona500 took place. It was the 1st 500 to be televised live from beginning to end. Richard Petty would win his 6th 500 and 186th win after when Donnie Allison & Cale Yarborough wrecked in turn 3 on the final lap which resulted into a fight with Bobby Allison joining in.
It's already been 25-Years later, on this darkest day in #NASCAR - #Daytona500:
Dale Earnhardt Sr. "The Intimidator" died on Turn-04 in the final lap & the whole world/U.S. went silent.....never forget that date.
We're all still hurt & gutted after the announcement from Mike Helton, RIP Dale Sr.
