I love how this came to happen.
With one lap to go in the Daytona 500, CBS-TV producer Bob Stenner hits his 'all call' key and barks "Everybody lay out !... Ned, be a dad, and call your boy home." You know what happens next...
"Well, Alright!" Ned exclaims. "It's the Dale and Dale show, and you know which Dale I'm pulling for..."
RIP to one of the best broadcasters and best friends this sport has ever known.
I know his racing career speaks for itself but this is one of my favorite NASCAR moments ever. Race on, Gentleman Ned.
