Racing in Las Vegas

An overcast sky
In the wild west
A race to be run
To halfway at best.

The forecast was gloomy
A chance of rain
Another sign
That we're still in pain.

The military plane
Did their fly over show
The missing man formation
For Dale we know.

Not soon after
The start of the race
The quiet lap 3
The caution took it's place.

In under 10 laps
3 cars already claimed
And honestly, really
No one to blame.

Newlywed Kevin ran good
Placing 8th
He's proving himself
He's going to be great.

In the end, it was the flames
That blazed through
Giving Jeff one more
Over 52.

In victory lane
Excited was he
So excited in fact
That he didn't mention the old #3.

We do understand Jeff
How excited you are
For a wonderful gesture
For a fan by far.

We can't expect it
Every week in and out
Dale's always on our minds
Without a doubt.
