Dale was more concerned about Neil Bonnet bagging a deer before he could go hunting with him in Alabama

I sure do miss Dale. He was one in a million.

The mention of Geoff wiped the smile off his face 😂 We miss you, Dale.

I've been talking about this and showing this to people for years anytime they brought Dale Sr or the 'pass' up

[fewworddotrick]

Now days they'd get a $50k penalty and get put a lap down, God forbid somebody made nascar interesting for a couple laps

He's one of the best racers in history, and he always will be one of the best, if not the best

Wasn’t a real fan of Earnhardt, but respected the hell out of him and loved his style of driving!! RIP Dale sr

Dale was just trying to get the pass in the grass achievement

His "Pass in the grass!" was one of the iconic and best moment I seen

Riverside International Raceway! Spent many a Sunday there in the 70's and 80's watching NASCAR, IMSA, CART, ...

Hell I was watching Richard Petty and Bobby Allison do this at Riverside in the 70s long before Dale Earnhardt ever showed up!

I’m officially naming this “the skirt in the dirt”.

[Fultonfalcons]

Dale was pissed at Bill for trying to wreck him

[samaxe]

That was the moment I became a Dale Earnhardt fan.

Family on my mother's side of the family. From North Carolina, but never had the pleasure of meeting any of the Earnhardt clan. Still cool, small world.

Probably the best era in stock car racing right here.

"good example of what he'll do to get the lead" was saying it mildly...RIP you Intimidating Ironheaded MIB

[IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

Mike Skinner’s 2001 Texas did it better, but this is iconic too!

[robertrouse]

This is not the only time he ever done this . This has happened multiple times
