Looking Ahead

In a few more days
What would have been
A birthday blast
For a great champion.

He would have turned 50,
The big five-oh
A grand party for sure
With his friends, we know.

But instead he'll celebrate
From high in the skies
With a different group of friends
Some other great guys.

I'm sure they'll race
Then have some fun
While we're in California
Thinking of the great one.

Imagine how cool
A win for Junior would be
Winning his first of the year
When his daddy would be 50.

It would only be fitting
If only we could plan
Maybe someone up above
Can give them a hand.

An emotional win
It surely would make
For the #8 Bud car
To not make a mistake.

Junior, we know,
You'll do your daddy proud
Just as if he was
A part of the crowd.

But whomever wins
The race this week
Will drive with a heavy heart
For a man who was in his peak.

Dale will be missed
As he always will
But fans and drivers
Keep his memory alive still.
