Who will be the next Intimidator? You know what I mean. Is there anyone out there who can fill the shoes of the great Dale Earnhardt Sr.? NASCAR racing fans wait for one to appear. The Intimidator was a rare breed. His tragic death 8 years ago seems to have snuffed out all of the possibility. A handful of drivers have been compared with Dale Earnhardt Sr., the seven-time Winston Cup champion.

Oh yes, Sure NASCAR racing fans compare Dale Jr. with his father. That is simple. Name. Voice. Southern accent. But Dale Jr. is neither as aggressive nor as reckless as his father. Dale Jr. does not look for trouble on the track unless his opponents push him relentlessly.

Kevin Harvick is both aggressive and controversial. Kevin Harvick moved into Earnhardt Sr.’s position with Richard Childress Racing. They swapped the number to 29 and altered the colors of the famous number 3 car to mostly white. Harvick is a businessman. Kevin Harvick has his own identity. NASCAR racing fans notice. there Early in his career He seemed to be eager to irritate his opponents. Harvick is the owner of both a Camping World Series Truck team and a Nationwide Series team.

Kurt Busch. Consider Kurt Busch. In the early 2000′s he was the least popular driver in the garage and in the stands. Even though he has mellowed a bit, Kurt Busch is not very popular with NASCAR racing fans. Aside from the reality fact that Kurt could never win over the fans like Earnhardt, Harvick, and Stewart, his younger brother Kyle often overshadows him.

Even though Kyle Busch reminds me Earnhardt Sr., he is no Intimidator. Kyle Busch was incredible in 2008. His frequent wins, aggressive driving and impetuous personality raised some resemblance to the late Dale Earnhardt.

Tony Stewart. He’s temper and dislike for the media really goes beyond anything Earnhardt Sr. ever said. Stewart is aggressive. Stewart takes his complaints public. In addition, Stewart is an entrepreneur. He operates his own race track in Eldora. Stewart also owns multiple race teams in Sprint and the World of Outlaws. When Stewart became owner-driver of Stewart Haas Racing, he captured a lot of attention and a raised some eyebrows among NASCAR racing fans.

Nonetheless, at the end of the day you look again and not one of these drivers will ever be the grand Intimidator, Dale Earnhardt. There is just one driver is starting to dimly remind me of Earnhardt . Tony Stewart. Stewart stepped out of the mold of driver into one as successful owner in the Sprint Cup Series with a an also ran team. Tony Stewart has two championships already and is doing well this season. Keep your eye on Stewart .
