We will never forget when he finally won the Daytona 500 (we begin our season with our biggest race) - every pit emptied to shake his had, touch the Goodwrench Chevy Monte Carlo, it took a long time to get down Pit Road.
He was our best driver - fearless, and whether MAK or I like it or not, he taught Jeff Gordon how to do the bump draft (I believe Gordon won those 4 championships because Dale taught him how to). This is the weekend that NASCAR fans live for, but it is going to be bittersweet this year. Thanks for asking, Annette Title: Re: The Intimidator Post by: Annette on 18-Feb-11, 12:20:13 PM Yes Annette, he crashed on the last lap of the Daytona 500 race 10 years ago and died. :heart: That is very very sad. :crying: :crying:Title: Re: The Intimidator Post by: Lou on 18-Feb-11, 04:40:59 PM Janet,
