Driving like Kasey was is kinda like taking out your grampa. Kasey is well liked in the garage but I don't think he wants to get in a popularity contest with Mark Martin. At least not with the other drivers voting.
Interesting factoid from Speed Channel. Everyone thinks Earnhardt is a premier plate racer yet he hasn't won at a plate track since 2004!!! WTF???? I think there are alot of drivers I'd go with for a win ahead of that dubious stat.
Yeah I don't know. Maybe he should go to the old school helmet like his Dad so he can see the air better? Lol.
Of course the old helmet and lack of HANS device is what turned him into a human bobblehead.Couldn't see it better. Feel it though, the air pressure or wind resistance change on his face. Dale Sr was also notorious for not wearing gloves. He could feel the car better he claimed. Also extremely thin shoes so he could feel the engine. One story I heard was he was running in a race and came over the radio and said " we're done, we blew up, I'm coming in!" Upon arrival in the garage his crew lifted his hood and didn't see any oil, rods, etc. and asked him what he meant or how he knew. He walked over to the tool chest and pulled a prybar out and wedged it behind the crankshaft pull and pried it out.
He certainly was a good ol' boy, they just don't make them like that anymore.
