It's hard to believe it's been eight years since Dale Earnhardt died. I only saw him race in person once. It was my first-ever NASCAR race - the 2000 All-Star race at the Lowe's Motor Speedway. I was new to the sport and didn't know a scoring tower from a pit box. But I did know about Dale Earnhardt. After all, Earnhardt transcended NASCAR. He was a legend unto himself. And I'm grateful I got to see him race at least one time.To honor Earnhardt's memory, there will be a candelight service tonight at the headquarters of Dale Earnhardt Inc. Press release below:
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (January 5, 2009) – Fans of Dale Earnhardt are being asked to pay tribute on Wednesday, February 18th in honor and memory of the legendary driver.
A guest book will be available throughout the day at Dale Earnhardt Inc. for those wishing to document their memories of Dale, while a candlelight tribute will be held outside the headquarters on Hwy #3 in Mooresville from 6:00-8:30 PM.
