It was 10 years ago today that we heard the words, "we've lost Dale"   crying

RIP #3 - God needed a Driver - Miss You!

He was bigger than life, a little scary, and and had a heart of gold.  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

Janet,
