This year's Daytona 500 marked the 5 year anniversary of the death of racing legend Dale Earnhardt. Tomorrow, April 29, is the "Intimidator's" birthday. N.C. Governor Mike Easley declared April 29 Dale Earnhardt Incorporated, the company his wife owns and son drives, will have a celebration at DEI's headquarters on Saturday. The celebration will be hosted by NBC's Brian Williams, who happens to be a big NASCAR fan. This week's Nextel Cup race will be in Talladega where Earnhardt won 10 times, including his last victory in Oct. 2000. Earnhardt will also be honored by the drivers of his organization. Dale Jr. and Martin Truex will sport Earnhardt's infamous black paint scheme. It is a 
fitting tribute to one of the most recognizable faces in all of motor sports. An even more fitting tribute would be for one of DEI's drivers, epsecially Dale Jr., to drive the "Intimidator" paint scheme to victory lane. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DALE! And to all a HAPPY DALE EARNHARDT DAY!
