Thank you, Dyas.

God Bless you Dale. You are deeply missed.

There is a great big void on the track that cannot be filled. The minute they announced him deceased, I sat down and cried like a baby. I was in a state of depression for a full month. I have not enjoyed the sport the same since he left us.


A wal mart here in town had the Goodwrench Chevy, #3 on display this past monday. I had to work and was unable to see it. >

BassBoss I did the same thing............. I cried like it was my brother in that car instead of him............. The only reason I watch it is because on the last lap of the last turn of the Daytona 500 #3 was in third and he was trying to protect what would have been the most triumphent victory in Dale Earnhardt Inc. with Micheal Waltrip in 1st. Earnhardt Jr. in 2nd. and the ledgend himself in 3rd. Then the very next race at Daytona Micheal Waltrip pushed Earnhardt Jr. up front to win....... I cried in rememberance for #3 and in joy for #8.......... Dale Earnhardt will never be forgotten.................

I too did the same thing. But think of what he did for the sport in his years as a racer. He helped design tracks, Pocono in example. He will be missed.

I am a huge nascar fan and wondered who else plays the internet fantasy nascar game? I play in several of them online and at work.
I dont really have a fav. driver tho, like almost all of them, esp. when they are hot and doing good at any particular track.
If ya ever get a chance to hit night race at Bristol Go For IT!

[randerson52]

JB, I have played the fantasy games once. Didnt like it and IM done with it now. Too confusing IMO.

I have a question for yall He was a man and you guys are worshiping him like God!!!! And some of you are saying you have a void that he filled! Why dont you try to fill the void with God sometime it really works!

And by the way im not cold hearted or anything It's just a shame how you worship him like this!

As for me, I never said i worshipped him. I said there was a void on the TRACK that could not be filled. As far as worship, I worship God alone. Jesus Christ filled that void years ago. And if you want to discuss it, I am a minister and would like to ask you, are you sure YOU are saved. here is something I put together as a witnessing tool and have been sharing it with everyone I meet.

"Unto what then were ye baptized?/What must I do to be saved?

Matthew 28:19 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost".

Were you baptized this way?. If so, do you know that you were baptized wrong? This formula for baptism only
started with the Catholic Church.While most churches baptize in this manner, it is WRONG.
I can prove it to you by scripture.Father, Son and Holy Ghost are TITLES. They are not names.
Besides, it says in the NAME, singular, not Names, plural. This indicates that we have to understand
who God is to receive this revelation. The name of God is Lord Jesus Christ. If you were baptized in any
other way than in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, you are in error.Read Acts 2:38

Also, are you aware that many millions of people who think they are saved will die and be lost?
The Bible teaches that only a FEW out of every generation will find salvation.
Matt.7:13-14 13"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth
to destruction, and MANY there be which go in thereat.14.Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that find it.

BE YE NOT DECEIVED. THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY IN WHICH MAN CAN BE SAVED
If you are one of the millions who believe the false doctrine that all you have to do to be saved is believe
on Jesus Christ, that he died for the sins of man, then you are in danger of Hell Fire. For the Devil also believes,
But he is not saved.It is a start, but there are actually three steps that MUST be fullfilled to be saved.

In John 3:3-6, Nicodemus asked Jesus, "What must I do to be saved?"
Jesus answered," Ye must be born again." Nicodemus replied, I am old, can a man be born when
he is old or return to his mothers womb?"
To which Jesus replied, "Unless a man is born of the WATER and of the SPIRIT,
he cannot enter the kingdom of God "

This is refering to the fact that belief and confession alone is not enough. This is reinforced in
Mark 16:16 "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved." On the Day of Pentecost,
Peter was asked, "What then sahll we do?", to which Peter replied in Acts 2:38 "Repent, and BE BAPTIZED,
every one of you,in the NAME OF JESUS, for the REMISSION OF SINS,and you shall receive the
gift of the Holy Ghost.
If this scripture does not line up with Matt.28:19, then the Bible is wrong.
And I do not believe that God makes mistakes. It is the revelation of Matt. 28:19
Noone was ever baptized in Father, Son and Holy Ghost in the New Testament.
anyone baptized any other way had to be rebaptised in the Name of Jesus.Acts 8:15-16
Acts 10:48 Acts 19:4-5 Romans 6:3-4 Ephesians 4:5

Acts 2:38 proves that without baptism in Jesus Name, there is NO remission(forgivness)
of sins.You MUST be baptized in the Name of Jesus for your sins to be washed away.
When we are baptized in Jesus Name, we are buried with Christ(immersed into the water),
washed in his blood as the water covers us (The water symbolizes the blood, as in John 3:3-6)
And raised from death(the old man, the sinner) unto life(the new man) just as Jesus died, was buried
and raised from death unto life.

This is the way it was in the New Testament, and the way it HAS to be today.

God Bless you,
Light In The Eveningtime Ministries."

PM me.I'd like to talk to you.or anyof you for that matter.

I used to help run a nascar chat room from about 96 till couple of years ago, I have gone to ppl's houses that have entire rooms dedicated to Dale E #3
I never worshipped him, but many of my internet family will swear up and down that they do worship him.
I like Jr. these days and many more of the drivers, have the busch race on right now At ChicagoLand
I got to meet Kasey Kahne and Jamie McMurray at Bristol in the spring..they were very nice to talk to..
Met Rusty to at the heli pad after the race , he is very personable

[coolman]

I would like to apoligize to Bass boss for missunderstanding him and his post on the void on the track I am very sorry for this misunderstanding!
