  "When in doubt... Flat out" Colin Mcrae

  I always thought that is was "When in doubt...Throttle Out!"

  How I heard it.

  When in doubt and you ain't sure what it's all about, just stand on it.

  Not about racing, but just because I can. Shut her down Rube, she's sucking too much mud.

  Thats how I've heard it. you know how these things are...

  And about Earnhardt, You're right about that, you didnt want to be in that position.

  Y'know, He's liable to get killed driving like that...

  "i didn't mean to spin him, i just meant to rattle his cage"- Dale Earnhardt, Sr after spinning Terry Labonte in turn 4 on the last lap at Bristol.

  Let's remember that was the SECOND time Earnhardt spun Labonte from the lead in that race.

  Yeah - coming from an Earnhardt fan, that was pretty blatant.

  he said it with that usual mischievous twinkle in his eye.. love him or hate him- you did not want to be in the lead with him a close second coming out of the last turn of the race...

  As "questionable" as some of those moves were, ya gotta admit he was a damn good driver. I remember watching an IROC race, and one of the indy guys pushed him into the grass. This was at 170 or so at one of the superspeedways. He went into the grass entering the corner, stayed in it, drove off the grass, onto the apron, and then took the transition back onto the banking in the turn and kept he foot in it the whole time. He lost like 2-3 positions. Amazing.

  I think that was why he was so infuriating, he was good enough that he didn't need to drive like a "HammerHead" but he did. The only time you wanted him behind you when you were in the lead was when you were his teammate.
