NASCAR fans thrive on nostalgia and love reminiscing the good old days. Aside from the cars and the quality of racing, the legendary drivers are a big draw for the fans. Chief among them is the late great Dale Earnhardt, the 7-time Cup Series champion and an icon of the sport. The NASCAR and racing world lost a true gem when he had his fatal accident during the 2001 Daytona 500.

His legacy lives on forever as one of the most impactful racers of all time. He has the joint-most Cup Series Championships along with Jimmie Johnson and Richard Petty. He also has the 7th most wins in the Cup series of all time at 76. To honor his legacy during the festive period, WorthPoint is selling iconic memorabilia on its website.

An iconic quote immortalized

Recently, the WorthPoint website made the day of so many NASCAR fans. The website is putting on sale a vintage solid brass silver Dale Earnhardt “Damn I’m Good” keychain. Of course, any Dale Earnhardt fan worth their salt would kill to get their hands on something to remind them of their hero. The quote is from a yellow t-shirt Dale Sr. used to wear while racing, in a now iconic photo, turned keychain.

The keychain is reportedly available on eBay, though the price is not exactly given. However, NASCAR fanatics would jump at the chance to buy it because it is a vintage item and it is associated with Dale Earnhardt. As per the information on the website, the keychain has only minor scratches and it does not need a ring.

This Christmas season, if you are looking for a gift to give a NASCAR fan, this is the one. It is the perfect item to use as a locket as well. Dale Sr fans would be rushing to eBay to avail this product. It’s no surprise that his fandom is still so large to this day. Let’s take a look at the Intimidator’s legacy and why he is still so revered.

The Dale Earnhardt legacy lives on to this day

Looking at the statistics, it is easy to see why he was considered one of the best in the business. His career spanned 27 years and encompassed 76 wins in the Cup Series. Even at the Late Model Sportsman Series level, or the Xfinity Series level, Earnhardt picked up 21 wins in his career. Along the way, ‘The Intimidator’ built himself a reputation for being a tough racer and the bane of existence for many rivals.

He was the kind of driver who liked to take risks on the track and do what no one else would do. Aside from being hugely talented, he had a very likable personality in front of the cameras. People fell in love with his fast, aggressive, and entertaining driving style, so when he had his fatal accident, it came as a shock.

Dale Earnhardt was the type to try and push his car to the limit, by sheer force of will. He was able to somehow win races that many of his rivals did not have the pace to. One example is the 1995 Cup race at Atlanta, where Jeff Gordon won his maiden title. Around that time, there was a late yellow flag and Earnhardt emerged from pit road in 18th. In two laps, the #3 driver scythed his way up to the lead and pulled away from the pack.

Even 23 years after his passing, his legacy continues to live on in the hearts and minds of NASCAR fans everywhere. Even his son Dale Earnhardt Jr. has been doing his best to preserve the Earnhardt name. Admittedly, Dale Jr. failed to win any Cup titles despite winning two Xfinity Series crowns. However, one thing that he could hold over his father is that he won more Daytona 500s.

It took Dale Earnhardt 20 years to finally win the coveted and iconic race, but better late than never. Meanwhile, Dale Jr. won the Daytona 500 on his fifth try, and also went on to win his second and final Daytona 500, nearly a decade later. Dale Earnhardt Jr. himself picked up 26 wins in his Cup Series career and had a best finish of 3rd in 2003. While he may not have been as successful on track as his father, he is propping up the Earnhardt name in his own way.
