Dale dropped out of school to pursue a career in race car driving. He started his professional career in 1975, joining the Winston Cup, including in the longest race on the Cup Circuit at the 1975 World 600. In 1979, he joined Rod Osterlund Racing, and would start to perform well, winning Rookie of the Year honors. He won his first Winston Cup Championship in 1980, making him the only driver in NASCAR history to follow up Rookie of the Year title with a NASCAR Winston Cup Championship win. His net worth started increasing dramatically. In 1982, he then joined Bud Moore but struggled during that season, but rebounded the following year to win several races.

Earnhardt returned to Richard Childress Racing (formerly Rod Osterlund Racing) and would score numerous victories throughout the 1980s. He won his second career Winston Cup Championship in 1986 and the first championship for RCR, then defended his championship successfully the following year. He subsequently attracted more sponsors, leading to more victories. In 1990, he became the first multiple winner of The Winston, then in 1991, he won his fifth Winston Cup Championship, and would win two more championships, with his seventh earned in 1994, tying Richard Petty’s record, which did no harm to his rising net worth.

Throughout his career, he would have numerous close calls at the Daytona 500, and experienced a solid crash in 1996 which left him with several broken bones. In 1998, after being winless the previous year, he finally won the Daytona 500 at his 20th attempt. While he then started to struggle with races, and many contemplated him going into retirement, he had a resurgence in the 2000 season. He won several races in what was considered a few of the most exciting wins of his career.

However, he started in the Daytona 500 in 2001, and was killed in a three car crash during the final lap of the race.

For his personal life, it is known that Dale married Latane Brown in 1968 when he was 17 years old; their son is Kerry Earnhardt, however, the two divorced after just a year. In 1971 Dale married Brenda Gee and they had two children, one of whom is Ralph Dale Earnhardt Jr, but they divorced in 1974. His final marriage was to Teresa Houston in 1982, until his passing.
