They were, but the strapping was torn.

Earnhardt didn't like tight seat belts; he usually wore them real loose. He also wore an open-face helmet. At the first impact, his helmet spun around 90 degrees so his nose was where one of his ears normally was. On the second impact, the side of the helmet broke his neck, which is mostly what killed him.

All this is academic: the Three Car (what it was called in the official report) ran head-on into the wall doing 165 miles per hour. That's not survivable.

No I was at the race and have a copy of the accident report. According to the report when he hit the wall at 180 mph. His harness ripped on from what I believe was the bottom left side.
