The Cup Series has seen some extraordinary racers but not many can come close to Dale Earnhardt Sr. Of course, winning the championship at the highest level seven times takes some talent. However, with him, it was more than just trophies. His aggressive style of driving is what earned him fans’ love and respect.

In his illustrious career, Dale Sr enjoyed racing at Talladega, the biggest track in NASCAR with a length of 4.281 km. The 2010 NASCAR Hall of Famer won 10 races at the track, the most by any driver in the sport’s history. Interestingly, his son, Dale Earnhardt Jr ranks joint-second in this regard with six wins alongside Jeff Gordon and Brad Keselowski.

Call it a coincidence or a well-planned gimmick but Junior recently took the opportunity to make a special announcement before the Talladega race on Sunday. The 2x Daytona 500 winner was seen in a promotional video wherein he teased the audience.

In the act, he says, “Hi boys, I have got an original story for you.” What flashes next is the heart of the matter. The video displays “The Origin of The Intimidator,” leaving everyone in suspense. With all of it to be disclosed in the pre-race show, Junior has left the fans with bated breaths.

So, what does this mean? Is it on how Dale Sr got the name ‘The Intimdator’? Or does this speak deeply about the early days of the NASCAR legend’s career? While fans remain curious, they surely had their say on this matter.
