Thanks Dale for the Great Ride

I have followed Dale's career very close and have also had the privilege of knowing him personally for over 20 years and I can assure you he is not only a true champion on the track but a true champion off the track as well. He has been a great ambassador to his sport, peers, sponsors, and fans. Dale, we will miss seeing you behind the wheel but will continue to enjoy your insight of the sport from the booth.

There are two events that stand out with me when I look back at Dale's career and they are the 1993 Daytona win with his dad, Ned, calling the race and helping him to his first Daytona win by holding off Dale Earnhardt. The other was in 2000 when Dale had a "clean sweep" at Daytona by winning the Bud Shootout Qualifier, the Bud Shootout, the Daytona 500 pole and the Daytona 500.

It has certainly been a great ride, Dale and we thank you. I hope you know you can enjoy a little more golf, so hit them long and straight. Your are all class.
