"Offline for awhile"

I lost a friend and a hero this weekend. His name was Dale Earnhardt...and my husband was there in Daytona when Dale died. I have grown up with Dale in my house on TV many weekends, since I was 14...so he is family.

I have never met him...was actually planning on that this year. I have met him by proxy, through his many drivers...Ron Hornaday comes to mind. And although, Teresa has closed the funeral off to the public for not enough space in the church...I will be going to the memorial in Charlotte.

I am saddened by his death, but have seen all race fans come together to comfort each other.

This is a really tough time for many people, myself included. NASCAR has been a part of my life for many years and it hurts to see someone who I see as a Father figure to the sport of racing (not just NASCAR) pass on. My best thoughts and wishes go out to the Earnhardt family and to the extended family NASCAR, fans and all.
