I can vividly remember 14 years ago today sitting in front of my television watching the Daytona 500 and cheering for Dale Earnhardt to win the race. He was right there and then tragedy hit. Dale hit the wall and just like that he was taken away from us. There was a shock-wave that rumbled through the sports world. Even if you weren't a racing fan you sure knew who Dale Earnhardt was. I don't know how long I sat there with my mouth open in disbelief. Dale was invincible, there was no way he could be gone I thought to myself. I called friends of mine and grown men cried together at the loss. The Daytona 500 will be run this weekend and Dale will be on our minds. It is hard to believe it has already been 14 years. You are missed but never forgotten #3.

Here is a video of the tragic crash and the reaction afterwards
