Here's a breath of fresh air........Bobby Dale Earnhardt, yup that's his name, the oldest grandchild of Dale, Sr. wants to be a race driver. The 23 year old, with an unmistakable resemblance to big Dale, has chosen to take the path of his famous grandfather. Currently, Bobby Dale is a cook at Rockingham, NC's Kentucky Fried Chicken, his home town. and is trying to establish a driving career, by the sweat of his brow.
He's politely declined all help from his well-heeled family and is honing his skills by racing dirt-track lawn mowers. Bobby Dale says he's heard all the stories about Dale, Sr. working "hard for everything he got....." and wants to do the same. The younger Earnhardt has a ride for Daytona's ARCA race and recently practiced at the speedway. Observers indicated he had no "pre-conceptions of greatness" and closely listened to all instructions, went out and was 50th on the speed chart of all 58 ARCA cars. This particular goal was not speed, just familiarity.
A throwback to the old days...go Bobby Dale!
