The "Intimidator"

Intimidator One solitary car colored black Makes its final run around the track The victories have all been won The driver's work admirably done. One solitary car known as #3 Will be forever in our memory Finishing first was oh so sweet It seemed #3 just couldn't be beat. One solitary driver-the Intimidator Was to fans the racing gladiator One solitary driver in black #3 Will remain the champion through eternity. One solitary spirit gazes down on the track Resting an invisible hand on each driver's back The engines roar as the flag descends down The champion's still here-his legacy abounds.
