The Earnhardt family is loving each other more than ever after being in a plane crash back in August. The plane crash took place in Tennessee and Dale was the only one who was sent to the hospital for minor injuries.
“Amy and I want to thank everyone who has lifted us up with phone calls, messages, and prayer since last Thursday,” Earnhardt said in his statement. “We are truly blessed that all on board escaped with no serious injuries, including our daughter, our two pilots, and our dog Gus. With respect to the investigation, we will not be speculating or discussing the cause of the accident. I am thankful for the quick response of my pilots, local law enforcement, emergency personnel, and hospital staff. Lastly, Amy and I continue to be very appreciative of the privacy extended to us to process everything. It has been important to do that together and on our own time.”
Earnhardt is one of the most successful drivers in NASCAR history. He won the Daytona 500 in 2004 and 2014 and he was named NASCAR’s Most Popular Driver from 2003-2017. When he left NASCAR two years ago, Earnhardt walked away with $400 million in career earnings.
