Quick Summary

Americans have rallied together to support Dale Earnhardt after the Greensboro Police Department tweeted that "Raise hell, Praise Dale" is not an appropriate response when asked about speeding. This incident has united NASCAR fans who see it as a defense of both Dale Earnhardt’s legacy and the sport's history rooted in moonshine runners. Even NASCAR officially weighed in, suggesting drivers leave speeding for race tracks, but this drew criticism from traditionalists insisting on honoring the sport’s origins.
