Whether you love him or hate him, Big E lives on in the minds and hearts of NASCAR people. I live in the South and am a big fan, with permanent tickets at Lowes Motor Speedway, and I also try to get around to other tracks when posible. Dale Earnhardt was an in-your-face driver, he never backed off, and he absolutely hated being in any place other than first. He died doing what he loved, which is a great way to go, but I sure wish he would have been around a lot longer. We'll miss him. And if you haven't been to a NASCAR race, go once and you'll be hooked. I was.
