This is not a joke.  This is the absolute worst news in the history of
the sport.  I still cant believe it.

This is from nascar.com

"At 5:45 a NASCAR Public Relations spokesperson said there was no update to
Earnhardt's situation, which she described as "serious."There was no
official update on Earnhardt's condition at 5:15. His son, Dale Earnhardt
Jr., who finished second to Michael Waltrip in the race, immediately left
the speedway to go to the hospital to join his father. "

A "serious" condition implies to me that he's alive, but in "serious"
condition.  Let's leave it at that until facts are known, without spreading
unsubstantiated rumors.

Earnhardt killed in crash at Daytona

By Rudy Martzke, USA TODAY

Bob Sweeten, AP
The car of Dale Earnhardt (3) crashes in the final lap with Ken Schrader.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Dale Earnhardt, NASCAR racing's most popular driver,
died Sunday from injuries suffered in a last-lap crash in the Daytona 500.

Fox TV's Dan Bell said that Fox analyst Darrell Waltrip's doctor was
notified of Earnhardt's death via a phone call from nearby Halifax Hospital,
to which Earnhardt, 49, had been driven.

Earnhardt's famed No. 3 car spun out and crashed into the outside wall
moments before Michael Waltrip, whose car is owned by Earnhardt, won his
first Daytona 500 after 462 winless Winston Cup races.

Bell said technicians used the "jaws of life" to extracate Earnhardt from
his car. Ken Schrader also was involved in the crash but walked away
unharmed.

A seven-time Winston Cup champion, Earnhardt was sixth all-time with 76 wins
in 675 races.
