across North America. Every speech started the same way,” says Lisa. “The number one message he wanted to convey was that he may be the one being presented with the award, but he was just one person on a team. He never got to the podium on his own. The winner circle included his pit crew, family, sponsors, and fans.” Lisa recalls Earl’s unfailing sense of humour. “Later in his life he suffered from Parkinson’s and needed the assistance of a motorized wheelchair. At his induction into the London Sports Hall of Fame, they did a wonderful introduction heralding his many on-track accomplishments, then invited him to the stage. Dad took several minutes on his motorized wheelchair to go from the table around the back of the stage up a ramp, across the front of the stage to get to the back of the podium. Once there he started his speech with ‘I used to be faster.’” “My Dad was incredibly humble and believed everyone was the same. I have photos of him having dinner with President Jimmy Carter. While he may have spent time with executives of large companies negotiating sponsorships, he always had time to talk to anyone who stopped him on the street asking for an autograph. Even near the end with advanced Parkinson’s he could be found on his motorized wheelchair signing autographs at local events,” says Lisa. “I wish Mom and Dad were here to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of his Winston Cup Series win,” says Lisa. “Instead, many friends and family will make the pilgrimage from across Canada and the U.S. to Martinsville. We have a whole section at the start and finish line dedicated to his fans. It will be an emotional day for my sister Liz and myself.”
