My Tribute to Dale

While being a fan of NASCAR, I also understand that death is part of
the sport.  It has been happening as long as people have been racing,
It will continue to happen in the future.  Would we see this much
furor if it was Kurt Busch?  I doubt it.  I live in the C***te area
and have seen how much this man meant to the community.  It is heart
wrenching to see how he touched everyone here.  Whenever I went to the
track, I always kept an eye on the black #3 and rooted him on
especially when he came up on Gordon(weasel).  What he did last year
at the fall Talladega was a work of art.  Probably the most exciting
race I have ever witnessed.
If you are a race driver and you died doing what you loved, what
better place than the last turn of the last lap of the biggest race of
the year.  Dale, I know of none better than you.  Sometimes your
tactics left a few questions, but they installed a fire into this
sport that has made it stand out from other sports.  NASCAR breeds
loyalty like no other sport today.  All I can say is THANKS.

When your up there fishing with your dad and Neil Bonnet, say hey for
me.
