Below is a poem that says it all..... Enjoy.....
Always
Close By….
A
fine Daytona afternoon, the season just begun.
My
boys were running one and two, and I was having fun.
I
probably could have won the thing, but something held me back,
I
was busy watching Dale and Mike….
And
holding off the pack.
I
slipped a bit, I turned the wheel. I sensed something very odd.
It
wasn’t Sterling’s tap I’d felt. It was the tap of God.
“Not
now.” I said. “I’m racing hard. There’s work still here to do.”
“Your
time is up.” He whispered low,
“So
say a quick adieu.”
Did
you see birds on the wall as they scattered in the breeze?
Will
it make it any easier to know that one of them was me?
There
was also Davey, Dad, Neil and other guys I’ve known.
And
they all came to Daytona just to escort me on home.
Hey-congratulations,
Mikey! You made a worthy run.
I
wish you many, many more. Your wins have just begun.
All
that fun you had in Victory Lane, I was proud for you.
Did
you see a seagull flying low?
Yeah,
Mikey, that was me.
So
Friends, Fans and Family, don’t mourn me for too long.
Get
on with life, take care of things, be brave, proud & strong.
I’ll
surely miss you. About that, I will not lie.
Remember
me,
Dale is the only driver to achieve double wins at Talladega twice.
1990/1999
I wanted to build a tribute to "THE INTIMIDATOR" for all to enjoy......
Dale's Atlanta 1996 Car
Dale's very first Car....... a lot of people don't like the color but pink it was..
