The racing world suffered a major loss this weekend with the passing of NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt. I take comfort that he died partaking in his life's passion, but this does little to lessen the tragedy. Hard to believe that the multi-car (I think 19 total) pile-up at another point in the race resulted in no injuries, yet Earnhardt's crash into the barrier was fatal.

Rest in Peace, Dale.

Yes, it is sad he died. I watched the race, and it was very good. I belive it was Earnhardt, who earlier in teh race shook his fist at some guy who bumped him. Only a few hours latter, he was dead. I was hoping he was OK, but I guess the deceleration was just too much. For those who don't know what happened, it was the last lap, about a mile from the finsih. He was bumbed, and then he corrected, and I think he go tbumbed again (accidentally, of course) in his right rear. This sent him into the wall at 180mph, the deceleration killed him. He has been racing longer than I have been alive, and he will be missed. If you read this, please take a minute of silence for one of NASCAR's greatest.

Rest in Peace Dale.
You will not be forgotten.

It seems so wierd that he is not going to be in the race this Sunday, which my brothers are going to. I wish I had a ticket but still have to pay off the Kia so I have barely enough money from my check left over to buy stuff for me.....Although the car is all I really need. :D

Ahkmid.
