Heading down 74 to the beach, I'm always amazed to see the big water tank on the edge of town with a checkered flag emblazoned on its side. Not quite as impressive as the Gaffney peach but still an attention getter.
I was at the race the week after Dale Sr. died. It was like being at a funeral and revival at the same time. It was surreal seeing the empty parking space where his hauler should've been. That was the first race that everyone went quiet for a lap of silence on lap 3. When Jr. got put into the wall in turn 3 at the same angle as his dad at Daytona, the entire place fell silent and then cheered relief when he got out unhurt. Glad to see NASCAR return and hope more newbies make the trek out there.
