A class act

I was fortunately part of the early years. I owned a body shop and did paint work on several of Dale's cars. We won the Best Appearing Car at Martinsville Speedway while Dale was still in the old Sportman Division. We worked along side with Dale and Bisquits (Rick) for days on end (without sleep). The body shop was always the last to get the car, and the most rushed to finish.
With all of Dale's success, I sometimes have to laugh that in the beginnings we all had to pool our money to afford a bag of cheeseburgers and a 6 pack of Bud from Circle S Diner.

I wonder if Joe Gibbs ever knew Dale was really a Dallas Cowboy fan?

Happy Retirement to a class act !
