Tribute to Bobby Sr. and a welcome to the Heaven 500.

The Heaven 500

The Heaven 500 was just getting 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 even before it had begun,
with every eye, wide open, and looking to the SUN.

A last minute entry was the cause of delay,
while the fans were instructed to kneel and pray.

The Heavens turned black, and the clouds turned dark,
the lightning was brilliant, the thunder did bark.

Then out of the rumble, for all there to see,
the clouds formed a number, a black number 3.

The Heavenly fans then erupted with pride
and welcomed this star who had recently died.

On a bolt of lightning, 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, the 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!"

Rest in peace Bobby ~ God Bless.

WOOHOO.......Jr is in the air and will arrive in Daytona within the hour!!!!!!!

BTW a few excerpts from an interview he did.

Earnhardt Jr. said that's not unusual, given his relationship with his stepmom. "We'll go three months without talking, without seeing each other," he said.

But Earnhardt Jr. said his relationship is not as chilly with Teresa nor nearly as unpalatable at DEI as some believe.

"We're cordial," he said. "It's not as people would assume. I think everybody's always had this idea that we were very negative to each other."

Earnhardt Jr., however, says much of Teresa's efforts involve managing the legacy of Dale Earnhardt Sr., and the money-making ventures that legacy continues to spawn.

"When you go into her office and there are stacks of paper, most of it is dealing with my father and whatever they're doing with his name and whatnot," Earnhardt Jr. says. "So, we don't talk a lot. We don't have a lot of sit-downs about racing and the team and ownership and stuff because that's not at the top of her list."
