where did you get that Jake mug ? Thanks Joe

The white haired woman was Jr Johnson's first wife, Flossie, who was able to get the car resigned the morning of the 500. The first signature which you can barely see was from the day before when the gold color didn't mix in the paint pen. I'm not sure what type of helmet it is, I'll have to ask him next tome we talk. My friend used to do the printing for several drivers bio-cards, and the Winston Cup Racing Wives Auxiliary who we got the pit passes through. It was a lot of fun back in those days, as the drivers were more accessible and very fan friendly.

I watched his final race from behind his pit leaning on the stacks of tires. For me NASCAR hasn't been the same, as the publicity of his death brought in a new crowd that has since left. I used to go to 10+ races a year with a pit pass through the 90's up to 2003 and met him at races several times through some good connections. My friend who got me the pit pass has one of Earnhardt's helmets signed by Earnhardt, Childress, and his entire crew from the 2000 Daytona 500.
