Ralph's son Dale who spent his time in the garage along side his father gaining knowledge and honing a craft of a champion and icon. Sadly it was Dale who found his father who died of a heart attack at the kitchen table. His grandson @DaleJr also carried on the family tradition !
Ralph Earnhardt
Kannapolis, NC
Many feel Ralph never got the total credit or recognition his racing career deserved. Being the patriarch of the Earnhardt racing family he definitely inspired his siblings for success. Ralph worked the cotton mills and racing was his way out !

Rick Ferkel,s driving career started in 1965 thru 1989. He was a loyal follower to WOO founder Ted Johnson but did venture off at times to win races with the All-Stars and other key events. A true ambassador of the sport and huge fan favorite. Respect was there from the drivers!
