In an effort to celebrate and honor the legacy of Dale Earnhardt and also to introduce the man known as “The Intimidator” to millions of new NASCAR fans, Motorsports Authentics in June launched a two-year program pairing NASCAR’s most famous driver with legends from the entertainment world. By featuring singers, songwriters, actors and other icons on the hood of Earnhardt’s famous #3 Chevrolet, NASCAR fans can remember and learn what the “Man in Black” was all about. In addition to a personal connection, Dale also shares iconic characteristics with the legends that will be featured on the cars throughout this series. The second car in the Legend series, “Dale and The Duke,” features one of Earnhardt’s heroes — John Wayne. Taylor Earnhardt and Marisa Wayne Ditteaux on Thursday were guests of the Fort Worth Stockyards, where Dale Earnhardt and John Wayne were honored as two of the greatest icons in American history. Meant to continue the legacies of both men, the “Dale and The Duke” program paired these legends together as part of the Enduring Legends Series.(Motorsports Authentics PR)(8-15-2008)
