I'm a huge fan and glad to see it. I've always been an Earnhardt fan in one way or another. From Ralph when Dale Sr. and I were just little squirts running around the pits .... to Sr. to Jr. I have to say, Ralph was one of the nicest guys in racing. I remember once (I think in Charlotte) we broke a part during practice and had no spare. Ralph had one and gave it to us. Sr. was a whole different dynamic. He was hard to get close to, didn't talk a lot, but there was NOBODY who could make a race as exciting to watch as him. I really miss him. Jr. reminds me of his grand-daddy. Just an all-around nice guy. Glad to see him back.
