harvey lee Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 As I was making my fantasy leaque picks today I was thinking just how great it would be to have Dale back. Who else would others like to see racing again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Even though I didn't really pick up on the sport till Tony's rookie year, I've always liked seeing some "Back in the Day" footage.YarboroughKulwicki PettyJunior JohnsonEven DWAll those guys. But #3 will always be in a class by himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMITOUT Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 We need someone like him to be out there to teach the young punks a lesson in respect. Maybe even get the NASCAR exec's back on track too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrappieFshr651 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I would love to see Dale back here. Always has been my favorite driver, always will be, nobody like the intimidator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Bill Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 You never forget your first "most favorite" driver.Mine was Harry Gant, driving the "Skol Bandit"Ahhh....those were the days !Go #33 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarsusd81 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Same as many others, The Intimidator has always been and will always be my favorite driver. Nobody can compare IMO. For many years, my dad tried to keep the same stash Dale had and looked a lot like him. He even had to get the Ray Ban Aviator glasses. I guess it runs in my blood to be a #3 fan. I skipped classes in college to stay home and watch the funeral on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candiru Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 One thing the sport seems to be lacking these days is a good "crusty old man" Some of these young guys might make the grade someday, but it will be a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawdog Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Richard Petty, David Pearson, Darrel Waltrip, Dale Sr., Benny Parsons, Cale Yarborough, a couple Allisons and Jeff Gordon, all in their absolute prime form and all on the track against each other. Now THAT would be a race... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 That would be one heck of a race for sure Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifty Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Boy Tom thats a good question.I always wondered about Adam Petty and if he could have helped Petty turn things around.Nascar needs someone that is out spoken and respected by both drivers and Nascar. There seems to be a lack of respect from the driver towards each other and Nascar really does'nt have a driver they can go to to get the right feed back.I think Stewart could be the guy but he comes off more as he is complaining to Nascar more then trying to help.The other drivers don't know where they stand with the guy because one day he saying one thing and the next he is doing the other.(Sorry I hijacked this thread)I know he was'nt the greatest driver but I wonder what Steve Park would have done before the wreck messed him up.And as mentioned above some of the older great ones in there prime would be great to see back.Sifty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOF#13 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Amen to that group!!!! I'd probably even throw Tim Richmond in there too, although I don't think he was quite to their level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was sober,he gave Senior and everybody all they could handle for sure for those couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricbak Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Sifty, you really hit the nail here. This is a wide open topic though, Here is 3 more names that come to me: Kenny Irwin Jr. Ernie Irvan, and Davey Allison. These guys also had there career cut short with bad accidents. I am sure there are many more names to add to this list that I may have missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
