I think maybe the post race interview at North Wilkesboro in the Fall of 1989 will show earnhardt as a world class whiner following a last lap dust up with Ricky Rudd and if you watch the tape closely in slow motion it is vividly apparent that Rudd was not the cause of the incident. The week following that masterpiece he was required to apologize for the foul language he disseminated on live television.
He got taken out late in the race getting off turn 2 at Talladega by Morgan Shepard when Morgan was driving for the Wood Bros. and did an exemplary job of whining about that as well. There are a few more, too.
Sometimes he didn't even have to get wrecked to do some quality whining. He went from top five back to 12th in the last couple of laps of his twin qualifier for the Daytona 500 in 2000 and whined like a poisoned pup about it.
