The Early Days

Back in the 1970's I was in the sign business. I lettered many race cars for various drivers from the Hickory area. One of these was Dale Jarrett. I started lettering cars for Dale when he was first starting driving in the "Late Model Sportsman Division" This is a picture of Dale with the car that I lettered. Pet Dairy was one of his very first sponsors. The other picture is a photo of the sign that I painted for his shop that he had in Conover,NC.

I thought that you may use these in your tribute to Dale. I know that this is a day late, but I just located my pictures today.

I haven't spoken to Dale recently. I hope that he still remembers me!!
