today is the diehard 500 race, and the rain from this morning had made the track too wet to race on. ‘i think the rains lettin’ up some.’ dale says, stepping out of the trailer. as we walk to his car, i gave him a good luck kiss and he got in his car. pretty soon, he was leading the race, everything was going fairly well, when out of nowhere, a major crash happened. dale went straight into the wall, ‘dale earnhardt hits the wall, causing an 11-car crash.’ the announcer says. ‘you’re seeing it live just like us, his crew and family are watching on the tv nearby.’ as he continued, my hands started getting shaky. we watched on the little tv, the ambulance race to dales car, on the grass. i turned my back to the tv, so i didn’t have to see anything. ‘and dale earnhardt, giving the crowd a thumbs up!’ i let my breath out, i didn’t realize, and one of the crew members led me to the ambulance. dale could see me shaking, ‘i’m sorry if i scared you,’ dale said, pulling me into a hug. ‘this wasn’t what i wanted to happen.’ he said, laughing lightly.
