The Heaven 500
The Heaven 500 was just started ,
an all-star race for the racing departed.
Heroes of the track , with nerves like steel,
and sitting on the pole was a cat named Neil.
Adam Petty was there , with his beautiful smile
Kenny Irwin determined to finish in style.
Lee Petty, was glowing with grandfatherly pride,
With Davey and Clifford , each had a new ride.
Fireball Roberts floated in on a cloud,
While Tony Roper waved to the heavenly crowd.
Morosso and Nemechek , then Tim Richmond appeared.
Kulwicki strapped in while the racing fans cheered.
The Honorary starter for this heavenly race
Ralph Earnhardt was chosen , a tear on his face
but the red flag flew before it even begun,
with every eye wide open and looking to the SUN.
A last minute entry was the cause of the delay,
while fans were instructed to kneel and pray.
The heavens turned black and the clouds turned dark,
The lightening was brilliant and the thunder did bark.
Then out of the runble for all there to see,
the clouds formed a number a black number 3.
The heavenly fans erupted with pride,
and welcomed this start who had recently died,
On a bolt of lightening Dale Earnhardt arrived,
as he stood before Jesus his spirits revived.
Jesus hugged his precious child , then revealed his perfect plan.
" I brought you home to let you know I'm your biggest fan! "
As Ralph stood proud , the green flag flew,
the crowd went wild and the tension grew.
And just like Salvation , admission was free,
as every eye focused on the black number three.
When the checkered flag dropped , no dry eyes remained,
it was a photo finish as Jesus explained.
He said " There are no losers on this Heavenly Track,
This was a welcome home party for The Man In Black"
