Answer 1

I'm 21 degrees but I really wish they had put Dan Gurney up instead.  But I guess he is too old time NASCAR for more current members.

Henry the VIII is 18 degrees from Dale Earnhardt.

Answer 2

Connections says I am 21 degrees away from Dale. However, I found the connection was through Mary Gray b. 1653 in Plymouth, who m. Benjamin Rider in Yarmouth in 1680, but whose profile currently has her marrying, as her second husband, William Barbee in Virginia in 1703 and having multiple children by him after the age of 50. The latter link seem clearly incorrect.
