Dear Dale,
Well my friend it has been eight long but fast years since I last saw you. I still have that picture of Micheal, Junebug, and you barreling into turns three (forever will be my favorite) and four hanging by itself, man what a sight. You made ALL your fans proud during that race. DEI AND the "Man" in the top three (still trying not to cry) spots. I was screaming!!!

Well Junior held Rick to that napkin "contract". Hooked him the fuck up with his new 88 National Guard/Amp ride. I guess he and T had to split to make things right in both thier worlds. I personally think T. fucked up and let your Empire go to shit. June left and so did Budweiser and as Tony Stewart predicted "Your Garage Mahal" is now just a museum. Now a "future" for your kids has now merged with Chip Ganassi. Don't get me wrong, Chip is a hell of a racer it just doesn't mean shit for your kids.
DEI's future was litterally left up to June and Budweiser. Junior opted to ump the sinking ship and go to Hendrick, like I need to tell you this crap LOL. Hendrick has added MORE pressure to June, considering the fact he is in the "best" equipment in the business. I know it makes me wanna puke thinkin Jimmie has a chance at 4 in a row, LOL.
Jeffery is doing well, 'cept for the fact that T. pulled him from his Camping World Series ride to help Aric Almirola in his career. Shit Jeffery would have finished top ten at ONLY 18!!! Anyways, sorry to bash yo old lady.
Of all the tributes done for you since your passing, the holding of the three (fingers up as I type) fingers on the third lap is my favorite. Look out there during the third lap at the 500. That is ALL for you. How about in Harvick's third race in the 29 car. A win over the Rainblow Warrior ( I know respect him he IS a 4 time Champion) was sweet redemption of sorts.
I bet you are proud of how RCR and ALL the drivers are doing. I know Jeff was your first pick for your replacement waaay back when, can't help but think their newly gained performance is an indirect effect you had on Jeff. Kevin now has his own identity, yep thought the same thing. Looks like hulk Hogan gone wild, but if anyone can pull it off "Happy" can. Clint sort of reminds me of you a little. Country boy kinda look, until inside "his office".
I guess what I am trying to say is this... Dale You are still missed and still needed. Thank you for ALL the memories and most of all the couple of times I personally met you. Not only were you my hero, you were REAL!!!

Wow! Very powerful.
Great post Dawg. Thank you. We know you will alway honor Dale's memory.
I was shocked when I went to NASCAR.com and in the "It happened Today in History" section or whatever they call it, there was not a mention of Dale Sr.
