Dale Earnhardt met his Maker 20 years ago today. Earnhardt died as a result of blocking and faulty safety equipment installation. Safety equipment is no longer allowed to be installed improperly but NASCAR still allows blocking and bump drafting. I guess you could say NASCAR learned part of their lesson the day Earnhardt met the turn 4 wall and Kenny Schrader at the exact same second but they still allow the overriding reason Earnhardt died, and that is blocking. If Earnhardt hadn't tried to block Sterling Marlin 20 years ago he'd likely be enjoying his retirement.
The safety innovations would have happened eventually due to the deaths of Tony Roper, Blaise Alexander and Adam Petty but Earnhardt's demise was the wake up call that sped the process up.
The moral of the story, don't allow blocking and bump drafting and the chances for serious injury and/or death are greatly reduced.

He paid the ultimate price while blocking for Jr. and Mikey.
