Jeff Gordon on Losing Dale Earnhardt | Undeniable with Joe Buck

the first race is obviously Daytona mhm and  that's when the world loses Dale Earnhart he   and and I remember watching it at the time it  wasn't a dynamic wreck no but it was enough   with whatever the right conditions were to end  his life and and and that I'm sure was a blow   to you personally obviously to the sport as you've  talked about his his importance overall I mean you   know as much as me and him butted heads and had  wrecks and had this rivalry um I still looked up   to him so much and respected him and and enjoyed  you know racing with him and learning from him on   and off the track and I looked at him as this  superhuman person that was almost Untouchable   I saw him wreck flip I mean the flip it Daytona  when I W and walk away every single time or one   time he had a a pretty bad wreck and and broke his  sternum and the next race went to Watkins Glenn   he's not even known to be a road racer and he sat  in the pole I mean that's a kind of you know he   was tough so the thought of and and now I'll be  honest on the other side safety you know Wise he   had a certain way and comfort about the way he  wanted to be in the car the way the seat belts   were man on the way the seat was shaped the helmet  you know he always wore that open face helmet   and I always worried about him from that sense  because you know the younger kind of new way was   this wraparound cocoon seat headrest um you know  seven point six point harnesses uh you know really   covering you know taking care of your your head  and how moves and Dale was just he want I mean he   I'd see him sometimes you know he'd have his arm  like this one hand I swear I'm not joking I'll   never forget in a race in a race I'm driving down  I'm like this right and I look over and he's like no joke no joke um has an absolute  true story I'm not kidding and   that's how comfortable he was in his environment
