This is like in the Commercial when FLO is playing Charades with her family that is really her doing all the roles.
The Hint was the 21 Car in the Background a 1963 Ford that the Woods Bros. put on the Track, Ironically the same number that Trevor Bayne won in a few years back.
The link will tell the story in more detail. But according to what is Historically recorded. Tiny Lund a driver came to Daytona in 1963 he didn't have a ride. He saved Marvin Paunch from a burning race car. Marvin was the driver for the Woods Bros. Tiny drove the car in the 500 and won.
Tiny's hometown was Harlan, Iowa. Every year they celebrate the Tiny Lund festival and they asked me to come over with my son and we took in the show and took pics with everybody.
I asked the people about Tiny and they sent me some great information. It was an Honor to be at there show.
I saw Tiny race back in 1971 at the Harlan, IA track. he had a fast Camaro then.

And the more we all get to know you the more were convinced your actually Dale Sr.. You just know too much NASCAR data. But it's okay we won't tip anyone off as we enjoy having you here with us.

A fascinating story , has to be an honor for you to have an annual invite, it would seem they respect you too and your probably a fun guy to around at a party. NICE Work, way to carry yourself about in life, a man with integrity and a rifle...

Actually we only went 2 years to the event.

(on a different story)
Back in 1996 I stopped at this Collectables store and purchased 3 Dale Earnhardt Caps, the owner was a driver himself and claimed to know Dale.
So he was ringing up the hats and I put one of them on along with the Gold Shades Dale always wore, then it dawned on him (the look). So just for Sh*ts and giggles I told him that Dale would wear this hat during speedweeks, this one for the 500 and this one at the Rock and I would do the same.
Well I was right on the money.
When I got back there about 3 weeks later and walked in the store he was off the chain. Then he started calling folks he knew to come to the store cause I was there.
I just didn't know what all the fuss was about. Fun Stuff.
