Dale Earnhardt Talks About Grant Adcox 1989 never before seen interview

From the camera original, full interview taped on October 22, 1989. Dale Earnhardt taped these comments about Grant Adcox about 1 month before Grant was killed (Nov 19, 1989). So it is sadly tragic that both men would share a similar fate. In this tape, Dale is kind enough to give Grant's team some soundbites to help Grant find sponsors. Grant was killed in the 1989 Atlanta Journal 500 in the NASCAR Winston Cup series. This footage of Dale Earnhardt would seem be during The AC Delco 500 held October 22 at North Carolina Motor Speedway. In that race, Alan Kulwicki won the pole. And it ended up being Mark Martin's first career Winston Cup victory. This footage has never been seen before this posting.

You can hear the cash exchange hands at the end .."Crinkle crisp 100's then see his elbow bend as he pockets it Why else would Dale be saying thanks to this guy ? Thanks for letting me say nice things about your buddy? I don't think so!

@jumpa01 It would seem so. I hadn't noticed that before.

@rockandroll4evermore It sounded to me like he was taking his microphone off.

@Wizerud I think that you are right. I change my vote. He would surely have to take off his micropphone and the transformer hooked up under his jacket! Thanks!

I don't know. He shot it for Herb and Grant. But none of us who worked for the dealership were there.

@rockandroll4evermore No to toot my own horn but my wife says to me "You pay way to much attention to details" . Some times I will watch a video 25 -30 times until I figure out whaty I need to know

@CrystalIce

I agree. I think he was just saying, "Another interview. They go on and on..."

Dale sent a letter to the Adcox family after Grant died, and was very attentive to their grief.
