DALE EARNHARDT (1951-2001)


It was five years ago today that Dale Earnhardt (7 Time Nascar Champ) died on the last lap of the Daytona 500, I have posted a photo AL took many years ago of him. Mark Martin won the truck race last night at Daytona and Matt Kenseth won the IROC race. Today the Busch Series will race at Daytona. It looks like we might get a little light snow today here in CH, not much accumulation is expected though. The Virginia Cavaliers play at Florida St. today in a game the Cavs need to win at 4pm. The Richmond Riverdogs got 6-5 SO victory last night over the best team in the UHL Muskegon, at one point in the game the Dogs were winning 5-0. Tonight the Dogs continue there roadtrip when the travel to Kalamazoo the play the Wings. There is good news from Wal-Mart this morning the donut maker showed up for work so I was able to get my donuts. I didn't win the lottery last night either, nobody did so I guess I will have to play again tuesday night when it will be worth $170,000,000. MICKEY

Also, last night on Speed JR was talking to DW about about his dad and JR said that his dad thought he caused the wreck at the old Richmond Fairgrounds Raceway which took both of them out on the last lap of the race back in the 80's, I thought there was going to be big brawl after that wreck between the two teams.

won't no thought about that richmond wreck. ironhead did cause that one, but that was his competitive spirit!!!

That photo in a lovely 11x14 is on my wall in the Earnhardt shrine as we speak. By the way if Darrell hadnt brake checked Dale there wouldny have been a wreck. Get the facts straight

Al said...

little e just said his dad(ironhead)believed that to be his fault!!!

There was a kid in turn 4 with a bright yellow and blue all-over print t-shirt sitting near Principal Staples that saw things much different. Ask him who caused it.

Al said...

you are the onl;y one that saw it wrong george!!!

Mickey said...

Only in George's eyes.

You guys still need to find that little boy who was with Principal Staples who saw that wreck a lot differently but correctly. And about those wrecks with Dale ..Rudd wrecked him, Bodine tried to wreck him, Darrell dumped him at Martinsville and many others. Still havent quite got over Wilkesboro though.
