Subject: RE: Dale related, not
Doobie
Having been turned off from racing
since all the big money got in and, IMHO, ruining the sport I had developed no
particular fondness for any of the racers of the day nor have I followed
NASCAR much. I belong to the Junior Johnson/Cale Yarborough/Richard Petty
days. Dale Earnhardt also belongs in that club. He was always in-it-to-win-it,
not unlike our Brothers, and ya gotta respect and love that. I work with a lot
of hard-core racing fans and things are pretty quiet around work today. The
local stations are all running tributes of one type or another. Racing and
what it has become aside, the power to touch people and give them something to
get excited about is a rare and precious talent. Dale had that and even I, the
old curmudgeon, will miss him.
I think Michael Waltrip said it best,
"I believe that in the twinkling of an eye you are in the presence of the Lord
and I believe that when I won, Dale and my Dad were there, with the Lord,
looking down on me."

Charlotte, NC is a very quiet place at this hour.
God Bless Dale
Earnhardt's soul and may
he rest in peace.
