Must of been an amazing experience Josh. Everytime I see the clip of him driving down pit road, and all of the other teams out there to shake his hand, Was amazing.

God needed a driver video

ONE QUARTER MILE FROM HEAVEN
Like a guardian angel from four cars back,
Watching Michael & Dale Jr. as they circled the track.
No intention of winning, just holding his place,
So proud of his "boys" now winning the race.
We thought it was over, the end was so near.
No time for pain; no time for fear.
We did not know, as there was no sign,
Dale was only one-quarter mile from his final finish line.
Within an instant, NASCAR fans would be facing,
An eternal change in their world of racing.
He was one of the greatest; beloved in his sport,
With a grand career sadly cut short.
All the crowd noticed was excitement and debris,
But a miracle was happening we could not see.
Dale said goodbye through shining metal and chrome,
As God gave "NUMBER 3" the checkered flag "HOME".
But forever in our hearts, and in the scheme of things,
We'll picture him circling heaven with red and black wings.
Grinning; telling angels..and even the Creator,
"LOOK OUT OVER THERE.....HERE COMES THE "INTIMIDATOR

Dale Will Be Watching
We watched as he whispered in Little E's ear
and hugged and kissed his wife
and as the national anthem played
with his eyes closed he reviewed his life.
We watched as he carried out
his plans to lead the laps,
and as he raced he saw the holes
and caught every draft.
We watched as he played "bumper cars"
and his determination never waived.
Today would be a special day,
the most meaningful of all days.
We watched as he held the pack
behind his leading boys.
We watched as he unselfishly gave in
to give Michael the winning joy.
We watched the car swerve
as ole #3 hit the wall.
But we just knew that he would be
back to blow the doors off them all.
We watched as news reporters said "the Intimidator is gone",
and the unified heart of a nation broke,
but dale was never alone.
Dale's fourty nine years were but a vapor
as his life passed our way.
His life was to teach and inspire us,
and then so quickly he slipped away.
Dale's soul stepped out of the mangled wreck
and took his savior's hand,
and with a grin and a twinkle in his eye,
he waved to the fans in the stands.
He turned and watched Michael and Little E,
fly past the finish line,
and he knew someday they would be just fine.
Ole black #3 is happier now
than we could ever know.
For he is with God now,
and the racetracks are made of Gold.
But everyday and Sunday
he'll be watching from above,
and his spirit will ride with Little E
with a fathers never-ending love.

Watching The Race World Cry
One lap to go
But who will win?
The other guys are moving in,
INTIMIDATED -- NO
Their hopes now end.
For he's a father and a friend,
No need to win
"I'll sacrifice...
for I don't need to win it twice",
but then the spin.
Caught so off-guard.
The unforgiving wall... so hard,
so god reached down
inside Dale's car,
then placed in heaven one more star.
the whole world weeps
and why? What for?
Because a hero...is...no more.
They try to sleep,
but they don't know how.
They're feeling such avoid right now,
And now I weep,
and I know why,
I'm watching the whole race world cry...
His faithful clan,
who sang his song.
The ones who thought he did no wrong,
The Gordon fan
And others such
The ones who "didn't like him much",
They all weep as one
His too short life
They think "His kids... his friends... his wife,"
Then dawn..., the sun,
Now memory
"A checkered flag for #3"
and so it goes.
Is this gods plan?
To help him see his love for man?
Only he knows...
The reasons "Why?"
DALE EARNHARDT... GOD BLESS... GOODBYE
