NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt killed in a last-lap crash at the 2001 Daytona 500. 1  Ken Schrader (36) slams into Dale Earnhardt (3) during the final lap of the Daytona 500. Earnhardt died from injuries sustained in the crash. The Daytona 500 is NASCAR's season opener and is often referred to as its Super Bowl. Earnhardt won it in 1998.
Dale Earnhardt is buried back in the woods behind his farm in North Carolina. No, you can't visit the gravesite. But Dale's third and final wife, Teresa, wants it that way. Nonetheless, discreet inquiries were made - all denied now, of course - about placing Dale's remains in a more accessible location.
