About this Quote

This quote by Dale Earnhardt speaks with the significance of responsibility in both hunting and racing. He is recommending that when his child, Dale Jr., was young, he taught him that both activities require a sense of duty. In racing, the motorist should be responsible for their own safety and the safety of others on the track. Likewise, when searching, the hunter must be accountable for their own security and the safety of those around them. Earnhardt is stressing the importance of duty in both activities, and how it is necessary for success. He is likewise recommending that the same abilities used in racing can be used to searching, such as focus, concentration, and quick decision-making. Ultimately, Earnhardt is communicating the value of responsibility in both activities, and how it is necessary for success.
