NASCAR WINSTON CUP SERIES - In the 1997 Daytona 500 the legendary Nascar driver Dale Earnhardt was involved in a crash with 12 laps to go, in which his #3 Chevrolet scraped the backstretch wall causing his car to roll over. The Intimidator was seated in the ambulance with doors wide open when he noticed that his tires were still on the car. Earnhardt shouted, ""Fuck! There's four good tires on that car. Start 'er up!" Both audio and video went out over the airwave live on national tv. He hopped out of the ambulance and drove the car back to pit road.
