Darrell has a nice rocking chair in the office at his Honda dealership. The rocking chair has a plaque on it that reads, " To my friend Darrell for the retirement years. Dale Earnhardt. " What a treasure.
Given to him exactly three months before the 01 Daytona 500. It's something Darrell will cherish probably more than anything anyone will ever be able to give him.
Darrell is a great ambassador for the sport and I am telling my age but in the late 70's early 80's he was the man, especially on short tracks. Darrell a top 10 driver all time in Nascar and a great commentator
Definitely one of the smartest , back when you had to take care of your equipment. He was probably the best finisher of a race back when grip and hp was mechanical and not so aerodynamic.
There are in the last corner, the right hander before going down the front stretch. Since multiple series race at the Glen, armco is the best way to go in that case. If you had safer barriers at the bottom of the hill on the first corner it would be more dangerous. But they are always trying to improve safety at that track which is a good thing.
Poor Brian Kilmeade, first he says Jr died, then he says Danica has won in Nascar. Ummmmm ,no. I wish they would have someone do these interviews that knows what they are talking about.

@@addisonroos5663 he was correcting himself when he said SR. He just talking fast. So what he may not be a huge race fan. He wasn't call DW sr. He messed up when he said Jr and corrected himself and said SR. There was just another word in between.
that's the basics. You can say the basics of every sport. Basketball is a sport with men in shorts dribbling a ball. Baseball is nothing but stick and ball and steroids. Football (NFL not soccer) is wrestling with a ball. The athletes/stars are the ones that make it enjoyable to watch.
Ricky Bobby say you can protect the skulls in foosballs but you can't protect the brain...cuz the brain just floating around in there like its in a swimming pool, CHIP
It took Earnhardt dying for NASCAR to get serious about safety, even though Kenny Irwin and Adam Petty died the year before of the same Basilar skull fracture. Too little too late. Then again, NASCAR has made nothing but terrible decisions the past 20 years
"Why write a book about something that's so painful...?" This is why Fox "News" is the "president's" favorite news channel. You have to be a special kind of stupid to ask a question like that of an author.

rjhinnj I like to see you do it there's a lot more to it than just turning you actually have to be in shape to drive in nascar and plus going almost 200 mph and the g-forces from the turns it's not as simple as you think it is if it were everyone would be doing it
