Dale Jr's Brew Crew Site
The Victory Lap
By Lisa Matthis
It's been a long time, since, we last saw that famous car in black,
It was an emotional time for everyone, seeing the 3 back on the track..
I never got to see Dale race, live from up in the stands..
But it was a truly an amazing site to see, pure emotion from the fans.
With your friend Richard behind the wheel, taking it around for three,
To celebrate your Winston Cup Championships, for a final lap of victory
Even did a few burnouts on the front stretch, which, I know you wouldn't do.
But it got a reaction from the crowd, when the smoke came into view.
Under the lights at your home track, an amazing thing occurred
Everyone became a fan of yours, not a single boo was heard.
I shed a tear, with a smile on my face, pure emotion deep in my heart.
As I watched your son, not far behind, continuing to do his part.
Of keeping the tradition of racing alive, in this famous family
The desire is deep, there's fire in his eyes, a Champion we know he'll be.
For the father and son I cheered, together, as the moment went way to fast
His memory lives forever within me, and that night will be in my heart, to last.
