I can't imagine anyone remembering that pig. It was different for sure. Belonged to some cat in Tenn. Motor blew in practice. Gazaway nearly ran Gary out of town. Dang thing had aluminum rods.

In the 60s it was Fireballs #22 and the 67 ply. of Pettys. I liked all of the Daytonas and Superbirds. In the 70s it was the #12 Coke car. Gary Myers brought a Monte Carlo to Talladega that had a swirl paint that was depending on how the sun hit it depended on what color it was. It looked white, blue, silver or chrome. It wasnt a very fast car but it was beautiful going around the track.Then there was the famed #21 also a good looking car.Hoss Ellingtons dayglow Pylon Bldes cars were also very sharp on the track. But I guess my altime favorite was the 1963 chev of Juniors # 3 Holly Farms car.
Bowman Gray Stadium

WSSU does not have the resources to purchase the facility. They were not even able to keep up their end of the bargain on the new field house. If Wake had to buy the coliseum and the city gave the stadium to WSSU, the outcry would be worse than the uproar caused by the building of the new BB&T Ballpark. BUT, racing is in the cards untill at the least, 2020 and probably beyond.

Thanks Randy for putting to words what so many have felt. Many of us, fans and non fans alike, can appreciate the talents and desire of Dale Earnhardt and at the same time turn our focus to the present and future of this sport. It doesn't mean that the many accomplishments of this man will be forgotten, but merely placed honorably along side the many fallen heros like Weatherly, Roberts and Turner. We the fans never forget. We love to reminisce and recall lovingly the deeds of the drivers that are no longer with us. It was their efforts that spirred the growth of the sport and they deserve our recognition.
As you stated correctly it is time. Time to give our devotion to the drivers and teams of today. Time to replace the tears of the past with a wide smile when we tell new fans of the talents of past drivers, and it is time to see the #3 on the side of a Cup car, when Austin Dillon is ready to move to that level. This may not be popular, but I think this is what bothChildress and Earnhardtwould want.If you could ask Dale himself I'm sure he would be happy to seethe #3on the track again.
Thanks for a great post.

Randy Myers, I truly hope that you will be at the Legends Helping Legends event at The Memory Lane Museum in Mooresville on the 26th of March. I want to meet you, shake your hand, and thank you for such a beautiful expression of everything that should be right with the sport and which, thanks to people like you, may yet come to be. Thank you, my friend for putting the proper perspective on the Dale thing. Wish I had your talent. God bless you my friend.

As a footnote to my post, today's finish couldn't have been more fitting. A great day of tributes to Dale, a new record for lead changes and caution flagsand a fresh face in the seat of an iconic car in the winners circle. It IS time to move on.
RIP Dale Earnhardt and congratulations to Trevor Bayne and the Wood Brothers.
