I Remember 1964 and 1974

Bobby you have hit the nail on the head.Look all back through the history if a driver or pitcrew member died you would see it in Monday's news and after that they would not print anything else about them.Until the death of Dale they didn't want the publicity about the person that passed away fearing it would dicourage sponsors and turn the fans off if it appeared they would benifit them monotarily. But this was just to big of a cash cow to ignore and it helped bring some of the fans back that have not came to a race in 10 years. I know of a couple that went that had not been to a race since Dales death. After they returned they said that it was a wasted trip and that it was a specticle and that all involved should be ashamed of themselves to profit from their heroes death. Also that they would never return to another race. Also in the last twenty years we have lost many of the men and women that helped make the sport what it is today past champions, sponsors and car owners that never even got a condolence card or flower or a phone call from Daytona. Yet they will spend several thosand on a dinner for someone that they have never met. Just to hope they may make a few bucks off of them in the future. Well i am pissed off again just thinking about it so I'll close my mouth and get out of here for now.

It IS Time to Move On

Randy I too say thank you for your post. For the readers that don't know you, you have a lot in common with Dale Jr. you lost your father while racing and while in a different time and era it's still one of the men that died helping make the history of nascar and to better build it to the sport it is today.I remeber that time and era and had a lot of respect for the Myers family just as I do today. This family carries on a tradition still today that the Myers brothers started in the early days of racing. We all owe the entire family a great debt of gratitude for what they have done for the sport.

Gary Lewallen's Trailer Stolen

General

Cody you can't make a mistake if you do nothing. So if in life you make a mistake at least you are making an effort.

I need to really be more cautious on my typing...I'membarrassedbecause I realized that I put "I don't care it was stolen" I meant to say, I don't care HOW it was stolen, that doesn't really matter, the point is, it shouldn't have been done in the first place.

Sorry

I hope they find it soon. Stealing is just despicable! And the worst part is...is that the crime rate is rising. I belong to a hot rod club/message board, and it's becoming more now, but they're always reports of these nice rods being stolen from hotel parking lots when traveling, not only that, but also out of garages. I'm not sure how Gary's trailer...but personally, I don't care it was stolen, it just needs to be returned/found and the steelee (if that's even a word. lol) needs to be severely punished!
