    You leave Dale out of this just because they love him doesn’t mean he wasn’t awesome as fuck!

    Dude came from fucking nothing, hated rich people; he famously ran a rich local car dealer and racer off the track on the last lap of a small local race for like $100 prize(more than Dale had to his name) and when asked why “I’m broke he’s not FUCK HIM”, multiple stories of him standing up against bigotry and racism in his crew.

    Dale was a fucking asshole redneck but he wasn’t an asshole for being a hateful piece of shit

      No shade against Dale. He’s just good for a honeypot, and your comment illustrates his badassery so it could work. His redneck image is enough to not also draw in casual liberals.

          It would be unfortunate to tarnish his legacy with that of a conservative gathering, but if it’s for the greater good, I think he’d approve of the sacrifice.

            If there’s one thing Dale Earnhardt was about, it was spite, bet your ass he would

            Raise hell, Praise Dale
