here are so many questions about this, 2001 was the toughest year in Nascar as Dale Earnhardt passed away as he crashed in turn 4 with Ken Schrader, and i'll never forget the words Mike Helton said about Dale, it was the worst day of Nascar history, considering that Dale's buddy and the man he hired to drive the #15 Napa Car Michael Waltrip ended his 463-career drought by finally winning a Winston Cup Race, but I've always wondered what if Dale Earnhardt was still alive?. Would have he captured Championships?. Would have he got more wins in 2001?, Would have we won the Daytona 500 again?. Would have he retired in 2005?. Would have he been successful as a car owner?.
