DEI Glory

A beautiful day
Today at the track
Sun shining bright
For those who came back.

A quiet start
To the rain delayed race
The drivers showed paitence
Setting a nice steady pace.

The field a bit bare
Without Dale and the 3
No junior in this race
It wasn't meant to be.

The other 2 cars
From the DEI clan
Ran towards the front
Like a well-set plan.

Green flag stops took over
The action on the track
Four tires and fuel
Then sending them back.

Less than five to go
Bobby closing up fast
Steve fighting so hard
Trying not to be passed.

He needed this win
To dedicate to the man
A second place finish
Wasn't in his plans.

There weren't too many
Dry eyes in the stands
Nor along pit road
Even the at-home fans.

Dale may be gone
But his prescence is still there
He rides with his drivers
They can feel him there.

The high fives in the air
Between DEI cars
Was priceless and touching
For two upcoming stars.
