Dale Earnhardt made Talladega the great and entertaining track that it is today with his electrifying and dominating wins at NASCAR’s longest track. He has the most wins at the track with a four-win cushion over all other drivers.

One of the greatest races Earnhardt ever performed in at Talladega came on October 15th, 2000. There was only four laps left and he was back in 18th place. He managed to run down the rest of the pack and eventually won his final race in an absolute stunner. Jeff Gordon recently described it as his favorite memory at the track.

Earnhardt’s work in the draft was truly magnificent at times and he was able to control lines like no other. He once led 134 of 188 laps at the track in a dominant win and it was a must-see event every time he was at the 2.66-mile track. Dale Earnhardt is known for many great accomplishments in his career, like seven championships and 76 wins, but his work at Talladega truly left fans awestruck.
