Best Answer

Dale Sr. was nicknamed 'Ironhead' due to his stubborn ways. When he first started Dirt Track Racing, he wouldn't take advice from everyone.

Unfortunately this way of thinking helped lead to his untimely death. Dale never wanted to wear head and neck restraints, because they were uncomfortable and restrictive. Wearing the HANS device is now mandatory in Nascar.

Yes. That was one of Dale Sr's nicknames, along with The Intimidator and The Man in Black.
