The Earnhardt Nation is
a fan populated country that comes together every weekend to celebrate the
greatest racing family ever to wear a seat belt. The population of the Nation
is an estimated 30 million. That makes us the 38th largest country on the
face of the Earth. We are about the size of Canada but we have a lot more
fun.

Our presence at the
track can be seen under our familiar Junior red or green and Intimidator
black flags. We are hard to ignore. When the Crown Prince, Dale Junior, makes
his move we stand as one. A sea of red with new sprinkles of green flow as
a single unit. It is not a wave, it is a salute to our favorite son. On February
18, 2001, our darkest day, people thought the Nation was through. It's great
leader Dale Earnhardt left us in the place he loved, Daytona International
Speedway. The moment before he hit the wall he saw his two D.E.I owned cars
ahead of him. One was driven by his greatest rival's little brother, the
other by his son, Dale Junior. They were about to finish one-two in the greatest
race in the world. |
We hope he saw what we
all now know. That the Earnhardt Nation will live on. That the legacy he
helped build from his father's racing to his dominance of the sport would
become the largest single fan base in auto racing. We know that many people
sneer when they say "Earnhardt Nation". That it is often not a term of affection.
We don't care! You may not like us but you have to respect us. We are 30
million strong. We hope that this site helps bring The Earnhardt Nation together.
We welcome contributions from anyone and everyone.
We want pictures of fans...At
the track ,at home, anywhere. We also welcome track stories, personal anecdotes,
jokes or just your opinion on anything. (If you don't want to send them just
comment the blog) We will
print them in the appropriate section (i.e....Dale Jr, Ralph...) Send that
stuff
here...Earnhardt
