Dale Earnhardt, a legend of NASCAR history, was born in 1951 in North Carolina.

** Pocket Watch Tip ** A Mathey pocket watch can make a perfect addition to any personal jewelry or pocket watch collection. Many people collect pocket watches and often hand them down as family heirlooms. Pocket watches have been around since 1510, when master clockmaker Peter Henlein began manufacturing and distributing them throughout Europe. Henlein's watches gained wide popularity, and from then on, pocket watches became the timepiece of choice.

Throughout his career until his death in 2001, Earnhardt was a fan favorite . Ironically, he died on the last lap of a race when his car lost control and hit the wall. Fans everywhere mourned his passing, which has gone down in history. It's tragically fitting, that a man who devoted his life to the racetrack died on it, doing what he loved to do. These days, his son Dale Earnhardt Jr. is on the racetrack, carrying on his father's legacy of success. Earnhardt Jr. is as popular as his father was in his heyday, and is one of the best drivers on the track today.
