STARTING LINEUP WINNER’S CIRCLE

The Earnhardts share a racing family dynasty. Just as 1956 Sportsman champion Ralph Earnhardt raised son Dale on the roar and spirit of the North Carolina tracks, Dale now guides son Dale Jr. with same expertise and admiration for the sport.

Dale Earnhardt

A NASCAR icon on and off the track, Dale Earnhardt is revered as one of racing’s greatest stock car drivers ever. He imports the same determination, competitiveness and achievement that defined his ability during his first win in 1979 to his current 24^th season of competition. This skilled veteran has amassed 71 wins, 257 top-5s and 372 top-10s, ranking sixth on the NASCAR championship all-time roster.

In the dramatic climax to the 1998 “Great American Race,” celebrating NASCAR’s 50^th anniversary, Dale Earnhardt finally won the Daytona 500 after 19 tries. The race itself was heralded as the biggest in NASCAR competition, with Earnhardt’s win augmenting the significance of the event as “the most anticipated moment” in NASCAR racing history. This achievement fulfills Dale’s quest to collect wins in all major stock car events and builds momentum towards his record eighth championship.

The doll is fully articulated at ankles, knees, hips, waist, shoulders, elbows, and wrists. The head only moves side to side. It comes outfitted in a endorsement covered white one piece racing suit with blue racing boots, but no socks or underclothes.  Accessories include a black racing helmet with sponsor decals on it.
