I will watch this one.

Too many good memories there for me for 50 yrs.

Sentimental, I reckon.

I was in Long Boat Key, FL when Dale crashed. I will never forget that race.

I was in the infield with a bunch of other drunks from work. It got eerily quiet.

Anybody catch the comments right before the green flag that NASCAR changed rules - again - to slow the cars down. Yeah NASCAR, that’s what fans want.

I was at that race. Saw the crash but didn't fine out Dale was killed until after the race. I was also at Daytona in 98 when Dale won it. May he rest in peace and be blessed by God

I've gone to the 500 with my dad since the 80's. I just came across this pic this week from the early 90's. My dad is younger in this pic than I am now.

I watched it. I have not watched Cup races much at all in the last several years. I, for some reason, have watched a few this year and enjoyed many. That race was good. No more follow the leader and some great driving.
