Dale Earnhardt’s death

One of the more touching things that went overlooked immediately after Dale Earnhardt’s death, was a small tribute paid by Hendrick Motorsports. On the morning of February 19, 2001, the day following his death, we were met with flags at half-mast, including a #3 Earnhardt flag flying where our HMS flag usually flew. It touched many of us more than words can express, and I thought I’d share this photo of it on the anniversary of his passing today.

Welcome to my online home since 2004. I blog a bit about my life as it happens, my work as I am permitted, and occasional throwback entries. When I'm not writing new posts, I actively curate this blog, improving the wording or adding new media to old posts, and finally finishing old drafts I've left sitting for years. It is not my intention to be a source of news or content. I don’t have anything to sell, and I’m not trying to get likes/shares/follows. This site is an autobiographical effort - imperfections and all. My life, remembered in my words, my way.

When known, I include credit for photos in the captions. Contact me for photo credit or removal.
