Ralph Dale Earnhardt Sr.               (April 29th 1951 -February 18th 2001)

We knew him as Dale Earnhardt, The Man in Black some called him the Intimidator, Iron head or Mr Restrictor plate

Congratulations to Kevin Harvick, his fans and RCR and Chevy for Happy’s win at Dega!I think it was the best race there in years….with the exception of the finishes, it’s been pretty boring there mostly with the new super sticky surface and the tank like COT. Think the change to the spoiler really helped improve the racing!

My boy! Dang, he’s carrying the flag now for the 3WA members in our league in 3rd place! He spends a couple hours working on his team every week, but his choices never seem THAT brilliant too me… maybe I’m just not brilliant enough to see his brilliance! lol Anyway, congrats my boy, pretty impressive! Keep it up!

I’m not that great of a story teller, so bear with me.

It all started when I decided I needed some serious “me” time. I wanted to do something really fun before my treatments began. I let Speedy know that I was going to go to the races and the plans began.

Congratulations to Ryan Newman for his first win in the #39 for SHR! Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy!

Fish8Bait is still flying the 3WA banner up in 3rd place in our league. He’s ranked real  high globally too and is well positioned to make a run at the Championship of the game! Congrats Fish!

Benjamin Stewart Parsons (July 12, 1941 – January 16, 2007) was a NASCAR driver, and later an announcer/analyst on TBS, ESPN, NBC and TNT. He became famous as the 1973 NASCAR Winston Cup champion. He was nicknamed BP and The Professor, the latter in part because of his popular remarks and relaxed demeanor. Benny also appeared in several race related movies like Stocker Ace and “Love Bug”.

Benny spent his childhood years in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and played football for Millers Creek High School in Wilkes County . Following high school, he moved to Detroit , Michigan where his father operated a taxicab company. Parsons worked at a gas station and drove cabs in Detroit before beginning his racing career. While working at the gas station one day, a couple of customers towing a race car invited him to a local race track. The driver of the car never showed up for that evening’s race, and Parsons drove the car in a race for the first time later that night.

Fish8Bait makes a big move to the front into 2nd place in the league! He’s also in the Top 100 Globally! Congrats Fish, keep it up!
