Betty;
Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. Not a day goes by that I don't remember watching that #66 race car came around the corner, I spent a many of Friday nights sitting in the stands in the Dany Daniels cheering section, I was 5 when I first watched Danny race, I still dream of being like Danny behind the wheel with the back end sliding around corner #4 coming in for the checkered flag in the Final race of the night. I spent many a nights after the race sitting in Danny's car doing just that within my mind. I always had my #66 race shirt on chearing him on. My name was even on the pitcrew list( I know it wasn't mine the whole time but a kid can dream). Betty you and your family will always be loved by ours. We are sorry for your Loss, But I also know you have so many good times to remember and he will always be with us. God Bless
