I'm a life-long Earnhardt fan. I rarely want Gordon to win (only if he's beating other guys I dislike more), but I do have respect for him.

Although it has never made the news headlines, both Gordon and Dale Sr. had great respect for each other. Early on, Gordon said that Dale taught him alot about Cup racing on and off the track. Earnhardt encouraged Gordon to license and control his image for marketing (Dale was the first Cup driver to do it.) They actually entered into several business partnerships before Dale passed away.
I'am thinking Gordon learned well from the #3.
