Damn, what a coincidence. I just found out a few minutes ago that my fraternity brother died early this morning on the NJ parkway. The driver fell asleep on the wheel and crashed into a pole. He flew out the back door and slammed right into a tree and died instantly.

This goes to prove that life is precious so live life to the fullest everyday because you never know what will happen in a blink of an eye.

My condolences goes out to my fraternity brother's family and Dale Earnhart Sr. too.

Be careful out there guys.

Maybe he did he was in 3rd on the last lap behind his son Dale Jr.& the leader M. Waltrip & he owned their cars.
