In Nascar, You Don't Have To Be

I Got On A Plane. I Remember When I Got On The Plane, The Talk Was, You Know, They're Checking Dale Out, That It's More Than What It Looked Like, But I Still Didn't Think It Would Be Anything More Than Maybe Some Injuries. Then I Landed At Home And My Phone Just Lit Up. I Started Getting Those Messages. I Mean, I Was Blown Away. I Couldn't Believe It. I Was Just In Shock.

My Image Lends Itself A Little Bit More To The Modern Fan, Sometimes More Toward The Kids, And I Guess More Toward The Wine Drinkers... I Mean, I Have My Own Wine, And Fans Love To Pull For People They Relate To.

I Think Perception Is Important.

I Definitely Get Pumped Up When I Hear A Crowd Cheering For Me.

I Saw The Wreck On Tv In The Hauler When I Was Getting Dressed To Leave. I Thought, 'oh, He'll Be Fine.' It Didn't Look Like That Type Of An Accident. I Remember Walking To The Bus Lot, Seeing Teresa Walk By. She Definitely Had A Look On Her Face That I Had Not Seen On Her Face Before.
