Comparisons to Dale Earnhardt
Who will be the next Intimidator? You know what I mean. Is there anyone out there who can fill the shoes of the great Dale Earnhardt Sr.? NASCAR racing fans wait for one to appear. The Intimidator was a one of a kind. His tragic death 8 years ago seems to have snuffed out all of the possibility. A handful of drivers have been compared with Dale Earnhardt Sr., the seven-time Winston Cup champion.
Oh yes, Naturally NASCAR racing fans compare Dale Jr. with his father. That is simple. Name. Voice. Southern accent. Then again Dale Jr. is neither as aggressive nor as reckless as his father. Dale Jr. does not initiate trouble on the track unless his opponents dog him relentlessly.
Kevin Harvick moved into Earnhardt Sr.'s position with Richard Childress Racing. They switched the number to 29 and changed the colors of the famous number 3 car to mostly white. Harvick is both aggressive and controversial. Harvick is a businessman. He has his own identity. NASCAR racing fans notice. there Early in his career he showed a tendency to irritate his competition. Harvick owns 2 race teams, a Camping World Series Truck team and a Nationwide Series team.
Consider Kurt Busch. In the early 2000's he was the least popular driver in the garage and in the stands. Though he has mellowed a bit, he is not in tune with NASCAR racing fans. Aside from the realization that Kurt could never win over the fans like Earnhardt, Harvick, and Stewart, his younger brother Kyle often overshadows him.
Even though Kyle Busch makes me think of Earnhardt Sr., he is no Intimidator. Kyle Busch was incredible in 2008. His frequent wins, aggressive driving and brash personality raised some comparisons to the late Dale Earnhardt.
Tony Stewart. Tony Stewart's temper and disregard for the media goes to the edge. Sometimes he is more tactless than Earnhardt. Stewart is aggressive. Stewart never hesitates to take his complaints public. In addition, Tony Stewart is an entrepreneur. Tony Stewart runs his own race track in Eldora. Stewart owns several race teams in Sprint and the World of Outlaws. Recently Tony Stewart became owner-driver of Stewart Haas Racing, he captured a lot of attention and a raised a lot of skepticism and even a little hope.
However, at the end of the day you look again and none of these drivers will ever be the grand Intimidator, Dale Earnhardt. Just one driver is starting to faintly remind me of Earnhardt . Tony Stewart. Tony Stewart stepped out of the mold of driver into one as successful owner in the Sprint Cup Series with a an also ran team. Tony Stewart has two championships already and is doing well this season. Keep your eye on Tony Stewart . - 21392
