POLL: Best finish of the season?
Robert R Kircher, Jr.
My vote goes to Harvick's win at Atlanta. 3 races after Dale death, shows
how strong that team is. A rookie wins after only 3 starts, shows how good
Happy is going to be. And only inches ahead of JG, a sign of things to
come as far as who will challenge JG in the future...

Imagine if he was a member of Gordon's crew.
What would people say then?

Since the Flying Aces started way back when, when hasn't
Danny Myers been Big E's gasman?

They would probably wonder why he was cheering for Harvick and bawling like
a baby.

Chocolate Myers was brought up doing "In Memory of" stuff
for his own family long before the current deaths.
A TRUE Giant in NASCAR!

I know, but he said he was going to stop going to teh races
and run his Antique store. I found this article that talks about teh
store, but it doesn;t say anything about retiring, but I'm as sure as
I can be with my memory problems that he was going to retire.
You might know him as Danny "Chocolate" Myers, the
huge man with the menacing mug who has spent the last
18 years lifting an oversized can and pouring fuel into
Dale Earnhardt's car during pit stops.
But the citizens of Lexington, N.C., know him as that
kindly gentleman who operates a quaint antique shop
that has helped revitalize downtown.
Or something like that.
Let's hear from Chocolate, himself, who actually earns
his living as a general mechanic in NASCAR car owner
Richard Childress' racing shop.
"My wife, Caron , and I bought an old home, a big ol'
house, right on Second Avenue in Lexington -- it looks
kind of like an old movie setting," Myers says. "We
starting putting antiques in the house, different, unusual
pieces we'd by traveling all over the country to the races.
Well, the house got full, and we were still finding things
and didn't have anyplace to put them."
So, several months ago, they followed through on an idea
they had been talking about for years. They found a
suitably located shop, rented it and went into the antique
business.
"We've both always liked collecting things -- I've got a
pretty good collection of antique phonographs, Victrolas,
and Caron likes old oil paintings -- and this just worked
perfectly for us," Myers says. "Really, doing the store is
a way to pay for our own hobby."
It also helps provide incentive for the good folks of
Lexington to venture downtown.
"Seems like everybody that comes into the store goes,
'Thank you guys so much for being a part of downtown,'
" Myers says. "We've got a town that was pretty much
like a lot of small towns, with the downtown going away.
You know, with the big Wal-Marts out on the highway.
But now it's coming back. We've got some really neat
restaurants, several different little specialty shops, and it
seems to be working well."
Myers acknowledges some customers visit the shop
because of who he is. But he credits his wife ("I'm labor,
she's management") with giving the shop its allure,
which doesn't include racing memorabilia.

venues. They would/could spend more time together and stop to see
interesting things along the way.
