Furr shares an anecdote


“Dale jumps out the car and they start running for him to kill him. And they’re running over to my truck to go and get me too. Robert Gee is parked outside and he’s standing there. He pulls out a little pistol and he’s put it to the side right there and says, ‘Don’t come over here boys’”.

What did he say in addition?


“Here comes Dale running, my car is parked towards the fence, 6–8 foot fence, got like a slope with barbed wire. Dale runs towards my truck, jumps up on the hood with one foot. The next foot’s on the barbed wire and the next foot’s on the ground. He and Theresa are in my ’73 Torino and they’re gone.”

How did Dale and co-host Mike react?


Dale Jr actually found the story hilarious and couldn’t stop laughing. Meanwhile, Davis cracked a few jokes about the situation, saying, “The original American Ninja Warrior, right there. Spider-man doesn’t do that.”

What triggered the mob?


According to Furr, Dale Earnhardt punted Dickie Anderson out of the race. Not long afterwards, the heavens opened and the race was eventually called off. Dale Earnhardt was declared the second-place finisher, and that ticked off several fans.
