In Bill Elliotts book he has a whole chapter about Dale Sr. While a fierce competitor on the track Bill said the guy would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. When Bills father died Dale Sr was the first to call and ask what they needed. I never liked him as a racer because I thought he was dirty but he could flat out drive and more importantly he was genuinely a generous person that tried to help others.The story about Carl reminds me of the story of DE and the church parking lot. Some kids were holding a fund-raiser to pave the church parking lot. DE found out about it, and wrote them a check. He told them that if they ever said anything about his check, he'd come back with his 'dozer and rip it out.
Good story about Carl.
*happy dance*Says he'll be back on TV on the 27th. RaceHub

Fabulous article by Marty Smith about Steve.
X2Atta boy Steve
That sucks, he was a guy who could do his job without his opinion getting in the waySaw on Twitter that he's been diagnosed with some form of cancer. FOX Sports released a statement saying he's on a medical leave of absence.
Hoping he's alright, he's been around a long time.
Thanks, I missed it.Hope some of you had a chance to listen to his story. If they post the audio online later I'll try to get it added here. A lot of great comments by him about his cancer fight.
Looks like it is only available through the Sirius 'On Demand' service. It's up online there now. If you're a subscriber, you're good to go.Thanks, I missed it.
Son of a bitch.

Our dear friend @SteveByrnes12 asks for prayers as he battles a cancer recurrence & takes a medical leave of absence from @NASCARONFOX
Well said.Son of a bitch.
Hope he stays strong again. ****Cancer
Sigh. My condolences, man. I lost my dad three years ago.So sad. Nothing worse than thinking you're out of the woods to have it all come back. I lost my father this past summer to a cancer relapse. I sincerely hope that Steve recovers.
