| Atlanta's Tribute They said at each race Each track that they go Somehow, some tribute To one we all know. The grass between The track and the pits Had squares painted With threes, little bits. On lap 3 yet again As the two weeks before The caution flew in the air, Slowing the score. It's like a sign From well up above To slow down a moment, From the one who we loved. Three races it has happened Just like that Quiet and patient Us fans we all sat. But this week a change on quiet lap 3 7000 balloons From the garage were set free. 1000 for each Of the titles he's claimed His memory It shall always remain. A fitting tribute it was For the rookie today His 3rd start in the same car And he won the same way. A photo finish again A great race we saw A tribute to Dale Without hardly a flaw.
