Through the Years

Through the Years

By Justin H.

The Nascar Hall of Fame in Charlotte, NC just opened a couple of weeks ago.

I’m gonna get to go visit …don’t know when …

I’ve always wanted to go check it out, ever since I heard there was one.

I don’t know the date, but I know when….. I know that I’m going.

On my birthday, I had received the official Nascar Hall of Fame Hat. It’s sitting on my desk as we speak.

I plan to take many pictures while I’m there, hopin’ to have the experience of a lifetime.

The experience will be a fun one.

And I’m just lookin forward to a neat Nascar experience.

I know we’re gonna have a blast when we get there so I’m gonna take the camera with me to capture every moment there.

And every moment will be an experience thriller.

The time of a life has come for Nascar to open its own hall of fame.

Now they have one of their own.

Much like football

Much like basketball

Much like any other sport,

Nascar deserves their place in the history books

And so they will get their opportunity.

1998 saw the 20th year of Earnhardt trying to win the Daytona 500

And that is why I think he deserves to be in the Nascar Hall of Fame

He also was a NASCAR owner

The 8 car of Dale Jr. and the 15 car of Michael Waltrip

At the time, he was on his game plan

Before crashing and dying, he was blocking those two cars to protect his son and driver

He was behind them doing them a huge favor

Whenever you see that big black 3 car, you better get out of his way

Or he’d a hunted you down quick

And fast

His motto was “Lead, follow or get out of the way”

  4. Justin,
    I didn't know that Sr. was blocking other drivers from his son prior to his fatal accident. Great poem. Keep em coming.
