And yep, he was what stock car racing is all about, at least what it used
to be about :) But having been a fan of has since 1980, I'll admit to bias

Please cut out the BS and stop disrespecting DE, that statement is not
anywhere near true. Sure some people got spun by him but others have done
it as well and he never did it every race as you claim.

The Chicago Daily News headline reads:

how about every freaking race he finishe second in? he went 2nd at dayton
for eons and it was why his win was such a big deal.
i've been going to races since i was 3 way back in 64, dirt tracks
rockingham, myrtle beach and darlington, back in the day, old skool or
something, that was what you expected in STOCK CAR RACING. conversations
would be, he put a good one on him-- next time, he'll get him back......
and oh yeah, a few fist-fights and not just the racers either. the wives
would really get into it back on those Leland Saturday nights, hehe.
yeah, it's redneck and yeah it's a step up from rassling.
"I know it's only Round and Round but I like it!" ya'll can have all this
fabricated let's not touch aeropush prettyboy happycrappy. give me some
detroit steel (via japan, alas) and let 'em race.
so there, every freaking race he finished second, for a starter. jeez
