No. 3 Dale Earnhardt tribute tee.

Dale Ralph Earnhardt, Sr. (April 29, 1951 - February 18, 2001) was a great NASCAR driver. He was born in Kannapolis, North Carolina, right outside of Charlotte. He died in a racing accident on the final lap of the 2001 Daytona 500.

Dale grew up in a racing family. His father, Ralph, died of a heart attack while working on his race car in 1973. Dale Earnhardt began with his racing career two years later, and by 1979 he had won the Winston Cup Rookie of the Year award. The very next year, he won his first Winston Cup title to become the only driver thus far to win rookie of the year and Winston title in back-to-back years. With his aggressive driving style, Earnhardt quickly won the nickname "The Intimidator." He is generally credited with the quotation "second place is the first loser." His aggressiveness was always business-like and in the service of competitive success, however; he was never vindictive or purposelessly aggressive on the track.

This is a really nice tribute to "The Intimidator".
