Ten years ago this week, ten years ago this very weekend, this very race, we lost the best race car driver ever! Growing up, it was a Sunday tradition to head over to my grandpas house and watch old number 3 spin a guy or two out and always make the NASCAR race interesting, and winning a lot of the time too! It was hard to believe that day, and its just as hard to believe that its been ten years since NASCAR changed forever. Dale Earnhardt is truly missed, but not forgotten. TNT and Garth Brooks put together a tribute at the NASCAR awards the year Earnhardt passed, here it is. WARNING: have a couple Kleenex ready, its a tear jerker!
