• Buy a Tree for Dale: If you’re looking for a truly unique gift for that special someone this holiday season, you can now give them their very own Sycamore or Tulip Poplar tree growing kit from Dale Earnhardt’s North Carolina farm, or you can plant trees in their honor in the Dale Earnhardt Forest. In April 2004, The Dale Earnhardt Foundation and American Forests announced a partnership under which the Foundation will provide American Forests with an initial grant in support of plans to establish the Dale Earnhardt Forest . The initial phase of this national project will be the planting of 77,000 trees to restore Charlotte-Mecklenburg County area forests damaged by storm, disease and development. The new trees will provide substantial environmental benefits such as cleaner air, erosion control and wildlife habitat. More info at the DEI Site.  Jayski.com   12/13/04

• Wallace wins Snow Ball Derby: Steve Wallace survived an accident-marred race and a series of challenges from 2004 ASA Champion, Kevin Cywinski, this evening to claim victory in the 37th annual running of the Snowball Derby, the crown jewel of southern short track racing. The 17 year-old Wallace started from the third position and first took the lead on lap five of the 300-lap event. Despite challenges from Cywinski and run-ins with several lapped cars, Wallace was able to persevere and capture victory. The win in tonight's event was the first for the Wallace family. Wallace's father, NASCAR legend Rusty Wallace, was never able to find his way into Pensacola's victory lane, despite a series of runner up finishes in the all-star event. The younger Wallace's uncle, Kenny, made several unsuccessful starts in the event as well.(RWI PR) more info at snowballderby and trpr.com or at stevewallaceracing.com.  Jayski.com   12/13/04
