It seems a bit ironic that Mike passed away this close to the Daytona 500. That would be the superbowl for those of us who love racing. Mike was a huge fan of Earnhardt, who passed after his crash at the Daytona 500 in 2001. Keeping it in the family, Mike then became a Dale jr fan.
Today, at the Daytona 500, Dale jr will be driving his new car with its new number, 88. In case you are not aware, 88 was the same number raced by Grandpa Les, Uncle Mike, and Al. Keeping it in the family....
Like the pastor said, Mike will have the best seat in the house for the Daytona 500. I would like to think that Uncle Mike will be up there watching Dale jr, in the number 88, right along side Dale Sr.
I'll be watching too. Missing you...

Sorry for your loss. Best of luck to number 88. At least you know that if Jr wins, Uncle Mike probably helped give him an extra push. Daytona 500 is about to start!!!
I watched Daytona and cheered Jr. on through the whole thing! Too bad he didn't win but like you said I bet Uncle Mike had the best seat in the house..right there with Dale Sr. :)!
It was a good race. I'm sorry for your hurting heart.
I watched the last 30 laps...the best part of the race. It was nice to see Tony Stewart not win.
Everything happens for a reason and with all those things, comes the most important thing, reminders of Mike! I believe it is Gods way of showing you he knows your heart is hurting and he wants you to know Mike is with him.
