Dale Earnhardt had so many fans that he has to be called a legend. This is a tribute to him as a icon and a human being.

Story behind the song
I have been a race fan for my entire life. I never rooted for Earnhardt because he drove a Chevy. But I respect his ability and the way he treated people in need.
Lyrics
The Man They Called The Man He was born with something special Racin’ through his blood Just like his Southern daddy He was a stock car drivin’ stud As a boy he learned that hard work Was the fast track to success And as man he earned a livin’ Workin’ hard to be the best chorus: Oh, the man they called “The Man” Was a man in every way His talent made him famous But his heart’s what made him great NASCAR’s filled with legends But everybody understands The man that drove the number 3 Was the man they called “The Man” Now any fan can tell you Who this song is all about And his outlaw reputation He earned without a doubt But the ones who knew him best knew If they went to him in need That the man behind the mustache Was a gentle-man in deed (repeat chorus) Bridge: There’s a corner in Daytona Where a father met his fate But his legacy lives on With his son in the number 8 (repeat chorus) Yeah, racin’ has made some legends But everybody in the stands Knows the man that drove the number 3 Was the man they called “The Man” Copyright Sonny B.
