After All . . . According to the earthquake data I have received, the epicenter was somewhere around the location of the Winston Cup Preview being held in North Carolina. It was the sound of Dale Earnhardt falling off his pedestal and revealing that he is human after all. Here's the scoop.

Many drivers make it a point to attend.
This year Rusty Wallace cut short a family vacation, Mike Skinner cut short a honeymoon and Dale Earnhardt cut out all together.

He was out doing what he does for a living 40 weeks of the year.
