I agree Jerry, Dale SR will never be among us again. We need to move on. But, that said, maybe we need to take a moment ever year either at the first, last or even the race closest to Memorial Day to publicly read the names of every NASCAR driver who died ontrack. Then we can have a moment of silence for each one, all special and deserving in their own way, who died doing what they loved

This is yet another reason why Richard Childress needs to put the 3 back on a race car. Yes, it will be difficult for some fans to accept, but it's time to move on, and it wouldn't be the first number that belonged to a beloved driver to re-emerge. I'm sure all of us still think about Davey Allison when we see the 28 car, and Alan Kulwicki when we see the 7 car. The fact that those cars are now

Jerry some of us do this because it is a way to remember someone who was a special person to us. I do the same for my mother and father who have both passed and for all the 9/11 victims. Think of it as I do. On 9/11 I was 3 blocks from the World Triad Centers, when my mother passed I was in Iraq (first tour of two), when my father passed I was by his side, and when Dale passed I was setting just

Who knew Tony was prescient? 'Without Dale Jr.,DEI will merely be a museum'. Good job,Teresa.

Why does everyone blame Teresa? Richard gets a cut too. 35% goes to Teresa, 35% goes to Richard, 20% goes to MA and 10% goes to Nascar. Teresa can't use the #3 unless Richard approves it.

Thank you, Taglia and Dutty. I couldn't have said it better, especially Dutty's explanation. You nailed it perfectly. Thanks again to both of you for your support and loyalty.

I couldn't agree with you more Jerry. Honor the man by remembering him in your hearts, not with your wallets. Your wallets are only keeping TE on vacation. Maybe if she were forced to earn her money on the racetrack, the teams performance would be better!<BR/><BR/>My dad has told me, "Son, when it's my time to go don't cry for me, I've lived a good life.

I don't have a problem with people criticizing me. But man up or woman up and at least give your real name if you're going to criticize me. Otherwise, it just shows a lack of credibility on your part -- that you want to hide behind anonymity, while I'm not hiding behind anything. And as for the other anonymous poster who mentioned about the JFK plates, etc., thanks for the info. But you also

Collectibles Today releases a new plate of JFK every June. Last year upper deck paid the Kennedy family 2.2 million so they could get 2 papers or pictures that JFK signed. Upper Deck takes the part that is signed and cut it. Than they put it into a card and put it in packs. Topping the list for the second year running, is the former King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis Presley. Without so much as lifting

I love it when brave souls is a hearty "you suck" and then don't take ownership of their sentiment.<BR/><BR/>Actually, what I think he meant to say, Jerry, was "Right On" to let you know how much he agrees with what you said. I'm trying to remember what the last JFK merchandise was I saw advertised. And for the life of me, it's just not coming to me.

A much better tribute to him would have been Teresa keeping DEI alive! To late for that now!

Every year on 9/11 they read all the names that were killed. We hold a moment of silence when the first plane hit tower. Elvis, James Dean, Albert Einstien, Tupac, JFK have all come out with merchandise every year. Dale was in the top 10 in sales. Jerry Bonkowski you suck!

Maybe it is time to stop these things, but this year, possibly the gathering at DEI was about mourning the loss of it too. I know that his name is still apart of a race team, but the 'Garage Mahal' is no more. If it took only 8 years for something like that to fail, all factors aside, then what will happen to these start-up teams who are trying to build now. <BR/><BR/>I know Jr. leaving was a

I have thought the same thing for years. I think all the 'special' souvenirs and the candlelight vigils are an insult to his memory and a shame to his name.
