That was back when the race started around noon, so I remember still being in my church clothes on the couch at my parents' house.

I vividly recall DW saying, "I hope Dale's okay" in the midst of his excitement for Michael winning, and thinking to myself, "pfft he's fine". It was a hard hit into the wall, but nothing remarkable to me at the time. I got up, and went about my day.

It wasn't until a few hours later when I turned on Sportscenter that I learned he had actually died. It was surreal. I was glued to the TV the rest of the night.

I was in a restaurant that evening and Sportscenter was on with no sound. They were showing what looked like career highlights and I remember thinking that was strange. Didn't realize what was going on until the end of the segment.
