Me too!!! The only, and I mean THE ONLY person of some celebrity that I would ever have cared and been honored to meet, bar none. I too still get choked up just reading this thread and thinking about it. I remember watching that day when he had Michaels back, that guy that everyone said was a has-been and would never win a race, that Dale Sr. himself had hired. My buddy called me and kept voicing his concern that he had been killed, "Did you see the tarp over the car,,,, Did you see how slowly the ambulance was going,,,,Did you see,,,,etc." I was so in denial and told him he was off his rocker. Nothing could kill that tough as nails guy. He'll be back in a race car next week. I still couldn't really accept it even after they made the annoucement. NASCAR has been, and never will be the same.
