I remember them driving a small dark SUV like an Acura or Toyota. I remember it because they were driving to their couple's counseling retreat. I know it wasn't a big name brand like "BMW" or "Mercedes" because I asked myself he's got money why doesn't he drive something more classy?

That was Christa McAuliffe. \nI was 12 years old in 1986 (not 1983) when the Challenger exploded. It was so sad :-(

Possibly, but not as a driver. He last drove the Indianapolis 500 in 1996 (for John Menard's team),  replacing Scott Brayton who was killed during practice for the race.

I went to a race at Richmond a few years back and Dale Sr. still sells more merchandise as any other driver.  I actualy heard someone say, "he has been dead for three years and he still sells more then any other driver."

Kurt Busch - after being "removed" from the Jack Rousch team with 2 races to go in the '05 season for "reckless driving" in Phoenix, Arizona... not on the track - but out on the streets near the track (and no....not in the race car).  Not a very popular race car driver BUT he did win the 2004 championship point race.  Most acuse him of being a little - whinny.

I love Jamie McMurray.  Is he a pretty boy?  I hadn't noticed!!  Come on, of course he's a pretty boy, but he's also a talented driver.  2003 Rookie of the year and missed the chase by a small margin in 2004 and 2005. He should benefit greatly from his team change and do well this year.

Dale Earndhart is not the only NASCAR driver to die, though maybe the most famous.\nLet us not forget the great Davey Allison who died in a helicopter accident arriving at Talledaga, I believe in 1993 if I'm wrong about the year I apologize.I do remember he held the points lead at the time of his accident and held the lead over Dale Earndhart for 4 more races after his death.\nAlso let's not forget Adam Petty who died during a practice session at N.H.I.S.( Richard "THE KING" Pettys' grandson)\nAnother accident at N.H.I.S. claimed the life of John Nemecheck\n( "Front Row Joe Nemecheks' brother )\n\nEarndhart may be the most well remembered, but lets not forget the rest of the great drivers who gave their lives doing something they love to do and something we love to watch.\n\nP.S. to angi he was #3 not #8 thats Jr.

FORT WORTH, Texas (Ticker) - Kevin Harvick and Scott Riggs had their own version of a Texas tussle although neither driver factored into the outcome of Sunday's NASCAR Nextel Cup Dickies 500. \n\nTempers flared following the race when Harvick's and Riggs' team members were involved in a confrontation that knocked down Harvick's wife and injured a NASCAR official who was attempting to restore order.  \n \nThe drama at Texas Motor Speedway started with three laps remaining when Riggs tried to block Harvick, who repaid the favor by knocking Riggs out of the way and into the wall to set up a green-white-checkered flag finish. \n\nAfterwards, the two teams duked it out in the pit box. Harvick's wife, DeLana, was knocked to the ground by by Riggs' tool cart and NASCAR official John Sacco suffered a badly sprained ankle after also falling to the ground. \n\nA member of Riggs' team shoved Harvick from behind as he and his wife were walking back to the garage area. According to witnesses, the Harvicks and Sacco were knocked to the ground in front of the crash cart, which is a large tool box on wheels that is used in the pit area. \n\n"One of the guys on the No. 10 team came up from behind me and shoved Harvick, pushed him hard enough to knock him and DeLana in front of one of the war wagons (crash cart)," said Richard Childress Racing director of competition Mike Dillon, who was walking with the Harvicks. "A NASCAR (official) got in the way and tried to stop it. DeLana twisted her leg. \n\n"You're going to have heated moments, but when it turns physical it turns into a different story." \n\nA member of another NASCAR team confirmed Dillon's account of the incident. Evernham Motorsports officials, who own Riggs' Dodge Charger, would not identify the crew member. \n\n"I was in the garage with the car, so I didn't see what happened," said Riggs' crew chief, Rodney Childers. "We're working with NASCAR right now to figure out exactly what happened out there. There are always different sides to the story, and we'll work with them to find out what the truth is." \n\nNASCAR spokesman Mike McCarthy said officials are aware of the incident and are completing an investigation, but no further comments would be issued until that investigation is completed. \n\nHarvick admitted afterwards that he knocked Riggs out of the way after being blocked for position. \n\n"He was blocking all over the place, he wound up on the bottom. I got a good run on top, I got in back of him and spun him out," Harvick said. "Those guys decided to take matters in their own hands and trip my wife in front of the pit box and run her over. That was unnecessary, and I'm not happy about that." \n\nNASCAR officials called members of both teams to the transporter to discuss the situation. Penalties and possible suspension could be issued. \n\nAt the time of the on-track incident, Riggs was running third in the race. \n\n"I don't know what happened," said Riggs, who finished 31st. "We weren't as fast as the 20 (Tony Stewart) and the 48 (Jimmie Johnson), but we were on our way to a good finish. (Harvick) was behind us and all of a sudden we were loose and in the wall. \n\n"It's a shame for everyone on this team. They deserved a better finish for all of their hard work."

From Wikipedia:\n\n"Dale Earnhardt died on February 18, 2001, on the last lap of the Daytona 500. Earnhardt had what many thought was the best car throughout the race, as he led 17 laps and stayed at the front of the pack. But as Earnhardt saw the way the race was developing with his two drivers, one his son, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and the other a man he considered a brother, Michael Waltrip, it appeared Earnhardt backed off, trying to hold the pack at bay and let his two drivers decide the outcome. He decreased his speed to block the rest of the field when, in Turn 4, he was nudged by Sterling Marlin's bumper. It appeared Earnhardt had it saved but the car took off up the track. As it went up towards the wall it hit Kenny Schrader, which veered his car into a direct head on hit and severed the seat belt. Michael Waltrip went on to win his first race in over 400 races competed, and his son, Dale Jr. came in second. Earnhardt, who throughout his career let nobody get by him or stay in front of him, and did all he could to get by them including wrecking them, was killed on impact by massive head injuries trying to let another win. Coincidentally, the crash occurred at the same place where his good friend Neil Bonnett was killed. Because both crashes occurred as a result of a car dipping below the banking of the track onto the flat area (called the "apron" of the track) NASCAR implemented a new rule stating that in no instance is any car allowed to drive below the apron at Daytona, and at a similar track in Talladega, Alabama.\n\nHe is survived by his third wife Teresa and four children: Son Kerry (from his first marriage to Latane Brown), Kelley, Dale Jr. (both from his second marriage to Brenda Gee), and daughter Taylor (from his third marriage). Kerry and Dale Jr. are both NASCAR drivers. Dale Jr. finished second when his father died at the 2001 Daytona 500. The winner of that race, Michael Waltrip, was one of Dale's closest friends, and drove for DEI.\n\nThree weeks after Earnhardt's death, young California driver Kevin Harvick, who was hired to replace Earnhardt in the now-renumbered and repainted #29 GM Goodwrench Service Plus Chevrolet, scored a win at Atlanta. The Fox television commentators' call of the final lap of the 2001 Golden Corral 500, Harvick beating Jeff Gordon by .006 seconds, and the images of Earnhardt's longtime fueler, Danny "Chocolate" Myers, crying after the victory, are among the most memorable moments in recent U.S. motorsports history. Dale Earnhardt Jr. scored an emotional victory in the Pepsi 400 at Daytona International Speedway on July 7, 2001."
