Where do I start?
After the news about his death, I called my dad and he said
many things that made a lot of sense.
My Dad said
something that was very true...
Dale died doing what he
loved to do. Not many get a chance to do that. "Not all heroes get a chance to ride into the sunset on a white horse."Dale
got to do that. I think it is better for him to leave us in this way then to have retired and died years after we have long
forgotten him. In this respect we are able to fully appreciate what he has done for our sport as well for our each and individual
personal lives. Dale Earnhardt was "The Intimidator"
and
a fierce competitor on the track, but a best friend off the
track.
The way he has touched all of our lives can never be forgotten and never will be. I always feared that this would happen
to him, however I never thought that my fears would eventually become reality. After the crash I was upset that he didn't
finish 3rd or win, but I would rather have him finish last in every race for the rest of his life then have to live with the
fact that he has died. I find myself pondering over what to think of this, struggling to find an answer in all this, but I
don't think there is one.
Now who do I root for?
What is the point on even watching NASCAR anymore?
On the LAST TURN of the LAST LAP??? WHY???
Why did this have to happen?
I
guess we will never know...."The Intimidator's"
seven
crowns offer all the proof
needed to those who question
his place in history.
