dg Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Re: 3 I don't think it's in the movie, but I remember several years ago when Dale jumped out of the #3 at Atlanta at the last race of the year. I think he won it (pretty good odds, huh?). Commentator asked what he was going to do on the off season and Dale's first words were: "going deer hunting". The new generation plays video games while the older goes hunting, can grab a welder and fix his car, run a backhoe, etc, etc. Times are changing.............

AdvantageTimberLou Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Re: 3 That's one thing Dale was and that was a hunter. He'd go with Terry Labonte on occasion, not sure how much after he "rattled Terry's cage" at Bristol. Hunting, clearing land, playing with his horses, he was an all around guy. There was some old guys near his place and he seen there garage lights on one night while going home. Dale stopped by to shoot the bull with them. They were working on a classic 57 Chevy. To have Dale just stop by and have a beer and BS with them just shows how down to earth he really was. I did see Bill and Tyler Jordan hunting turkeys on one show and Tyler had on a camo #3 hat. Then they mentioned that Dale was suppose to join them on that hunt but it never happened as we all know what happened to prevent that. That was a touching moment and for Bill to air that was a great tribute to a great man. Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanH Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Re: 3 I think they should have spent more time on the movie! It could have been way better! Longer and better! Just my opinion! But it was a awesome movie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Re: 3 Ryan, Dale did so many great things that its hard to get all of it into a 90 minute movie. As with any story things get left out. They did a good job doing it and details got left out but as we all know of this board the movie could go on for hours and hours and hours, maybe even days. He was an awesome man, tough as nails on the track, and as soft as a teddy bear outside of it. He had a good heart thats for sure!
