More thoughts on the 2001 Daytona incident

It is 2005 and I always thought some new info would come out about the crash...no its not a denial thing, its just that I feel something was fishy.

Dale told Fox "you're gonna see something you'll never forget"

I also thought Dale was very on edge for that race
Remember he flipped off Kurt Busch
Also, before the last lap he almost crashed while banging into Marlin, blocking for Mikey and Junior.
When he and Mikey were 1 and 2 with 20 to go after the Tony Stewart flip, I remember thinking "he'll spin out Mikey if he has to" ...but he blocked. In my opinion, he blocked because he simply did not have the car to win the race.

So when Mike Joy yelled "trouble, big trouble" I was in another room and yelled "that's Dale isn't it", and the response was yeah. SO I return to Darrell crying...I thought he was crying for "Mikey" but when he asked "is Dale Ok? I assumed he tore up his collarbone again, but Schrader waving for help and Dale Jr running towards the car made me think otherwise.

Just two more vivid memories
The hood flapping while Dale's car was against the wall seemed eerie
The slow ambulance really bothered me



WOW 2001 was a hell of a way to bring in the new millenium
1. Election controversy
2. Earnhardt crash
3. Nine-Eleven
