Its amazing how much value we put on things that in reality have no value at all.
Wow this post pissed me off in a way I can't express.
All the man did was provide entertainment for millions of fans. Also, the "value" that people rally around with the "3" stickers isn't just the sport but a man's LIFE, the most valuable thing of all.
Not only that, but "just" driving up around 180mph and going left is pretty damn hard when you got all these other cars around you doing the same. Try it sometime. I did once and it was HARD... got all this centrifugal force and everything else FIGHTING you at the wheel. MUCH harder to "just go left" than straight-line.
I'm not really big on Nascar, but I knew the name Earnhardt... he was awesome.
