Dale Jr. and open face helmet
9/23/01 - Dale Earnhardt Jr. remains one of the few drivers not to use a full-face helmet. Earlier this year, Earnhardt Jr. wore a full-face helmet in the 24 Hours of Daytona race and used one in the first Cup practice at Daytona before his father saw it. "My father asked me to put it up and not use it anymore," Earnhardt Jr. said. "He was really adamant about that." The late Earnhardt used an open-face helmet. Part of his reasoning was that he felt an open-face helmet was lighter and was less weight on the neck in a severe crash. Earnhardt Jr. says that he'd like to use a full-face helmet soon.
