The Daytona 500 of 2000 was a historic day in racing that ended with a sad shock to the racing world that racing fans will never forget when it was announced that NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt passed away in a racing crash. To honor this superstar legend a clock of Dale Earnhardt was made with it's own commercial. If you're a NASCAR fan you probably owned this clock as a collector's item just by seeing the commercial for it. What makes this clock unique as shown in the commercial is that every hour authentic racing sounds and a motorized mini-replica of Dale Earnhardt's #3 car "races" along the clock base. The Dale Earnhardt Clock also featured Dale's authentic signature on it as well as a certificate of authenticity. The clock was a huge seller before being discontinued in 2002. I am not sure if there was any other NASCAR drivers clocks made or this clock was first in a series but for NASCAR fans this commercial and this clock is a true collector's item
