April-29-1951 - February-19-2001

In Memory of the man # 3 Our Champion Dale Earnhardt

I wait to hear the engines roar, then I look for #3, he comes flying down the track. Trying to hold the others back.

I sit hoping for his win. But there's trouble, and as my heart skips a beat, all the crowd stand to their feet.

The nascar king had wrecked, oh God I prayed he would be all right, but the news was bad,our nascar king had lost the fight. But life without him will never be the same, I know there is no one to blame. But Dale will live forever in Gods victory lane.

Some men want his number #3 lets retire it,let it be. In the eyes of all his fans the number belongs to the MAN. #3 Dale Earnhardt.But if you cannot retire #3 give it to his son as a gift from all Dale's fans.After all his father was the MAN.

There was a memorial held for his racing family and friends on Febuary 23, 2001 at Calvary Church in Charlotte, N.C. at noon.

Dale was a christian he never drove without a piece of scripture from the Bible on his dash. Now Dale is at rest with our blessed Jesus.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Never has a famous athletic event ended with a more compelling mixture of joy and sorrow. Michael Waltrip, driving a Chevrolet owned by Dale Earnhardt, held off Earnhardt's son Dale Jr., in another Monte Carlo from the same team, to win the Daytona 500.

Meanwhile, behind them, Earnhardt himself was suffering fatal injuries in a crash that occurred only a few feet behind the cars that finished first and second.

Waltrip, who had never won an official Winston Cup race in 462 tries, did not realize until well after the victory lane celebration that his car owner, the man who had given him the opportunity of a lifetime, had been killed.
