1986 #3 Wrangler Monte Carlo - "Seems like it’s always raining there…it’s the old track and it’s muddy…Dale is screamin’…”I can’s see anything”. Richard (Childress) tells him to stay out we don’t want to lose position. Dale says “Hang on, I’ll be off radio a few minutes.” And then you see the fans in the stands and he comes around the turn with his butt out the window and cleaning off the windshield…that was one of the coolest things…we did so many cool things…it’s hard to pull out just a few…it just shows…whatever it takes…we’re comin’ out to win." - Chocolate Myers
1987 #3 Wrangler Monte Carlo - It shows what a thing we had…he made up his mind he was going to win…he does whatever it takes…it shows what a deal this team was…It was really not a pass in the grass it was a spin in the grass…. Bill had touched him and put him out but never checked…Dale was not quite “The Intimidator” yet…but he went in the grass and won…one of the reason’s we’re filling up the grandstands today…a moment in history. That day he showed them who was best." - Chocolate Myers
1990 #3 Goodwrench Lumina - "We went to Dover and blew up an engine…broke a camshaft and we didn’t even know…we didn’t hear it, but he knew…he told us…he felt it. Later they told the story that his daddy (Ralph Earnhardt) told him to wear thin soled shoes to feel the engine…but he could, he could feel the car…Those were the days you went with everything in the trailer…when you could change engines…and we took it and built it from scratch…we were all dirty and full of oil and dirt but we built it and ran it again. We were going to have that car on the track whatever it took…we weren’t just dedicated…we never quit…it wound up blowin’ again ‘cos he ran it too hard…but that race probably helped up win the championship…we just never gave up…" - Chocolate Myers
1994 Seven-Time Champ Goodwrench Lumina - "We won ‘em two years in a row and then we’d have a little off year. We won 7…it could have been 14 just as easy…we were so close a lot of times…but to win that and go down and be a part of it…it’s a big deal…we were so fortunate to do what we did…there were other people workin’ just as hard out there…but they never made it to Victory Circle…but we had Dale…we just loved what we did…and then go to New York and get recognized…that was just cool…. but we worked hard we deserved to be there. He could’ve won a lot more, that’s just how good he was. The last one was just as special as the first." - Chocolate Myers
