👋 Hey Motorheads,

In our last edition, the Lucky Dog detailed the newfound rivalry between Kyle Larson and Denny Hamlin. As you may be well aware by now, the two have been making a lot of noise since Nashville. And it seems this noise has reached Dale Earnhard Jr, who broke his silence on the matter.

But, hey! We are not here just to dwell on the past. And how could we? We now have one of the most exciting races on our hands - the Chicago Street Race! It seems like yesterday when Shane van Gisbergen came from the Supercars Series to single-handedly one-up our NASCAR stars. But it was not yesterday. It was about a year ago. And things have changed since then, which is also the reason we may have some sad news for you if you were planning to cheer for the Kiwi this weekend.

While we look forward to Sunday with great anticipation, the Lucky Dog feels it is also necessary to look back in time with some gratitude. Picking up an important chapter from the sport's history, today, we have brought you a story honoring NASCAR's brave soldiers like Dale Earnhardt Sr, who gave their lives to make the sport a much safer place for our current favorites.

Let's dive in!
