While there was contact with Marlin's Dodge and Earnhardt's Chevrolet, it doesn't appear that the contact was intentional. In addition, citing his friendship off-track with Earnhardt, Marlin denies any intentional contact. Additionally, several drivers, including Earnhardt's son Dale Junior, investigators and NASCAR officials have absolved Marlin of any blame.
Dale was killed in a wreck at the Daytona 500 in February, 2001.

Not a who but a what, it was the force of his car hitting the wall at over 180 mph, head on. There is no one to blame, it was just a horrible accident, a chance that all drivers take when they get behind the wheel of a race car.

Yes. Dale Jr. is the late Dale Earnhardt Sr's son.
It was "I didn't mean to wreck him I was just rattling his cage." This saying began back in 1996 I think I'm not sure but he said that back in that year (if it was 1996) he had wrecked Terry Labonte and sent him into the wall and that's when he said it. He said it in an interview. Every since that happened it just began as Dale Earnhardt's saying. It actually has the video on youtube.com where Dale Sr. says it and it also shows the wreck too.
Dale Sr's car made slight contact with Sterling Marlin's #40 and as he slid up the track he collided with Ken Schrader's #36, causing both cars to go nose first into the wall.
