| It's 3:30 am and I ponder the loss of my hero. There is no reason for this tragedy. I will never understand why the great one's are taken. |
| The 1979 rookie of the year title was followed up by the first of 7 Winston Cup titles. |
| One of my greatest Dale moments was his win at the Daytona 500. Not because he won after 20 tries, but because of what you see here. Every crew member from every team at the speed way lined up to honor the greatest driver that ever lived. It had never happened before and I don't think it will happen again. |
| The greatest people in racing are in a line, over 300 yards long, to congratulate Dale after his first and last 500 win. |
