<p>March 10, 2005- The Cedar Rapids RoughRiders will welcome the Dale Earnhardt Sr. #3 GM Goodwrench Chevy Monte Carlo to the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena this Saturday when the Riders take on the Sioux City Musketeers at 7:05PM. </p>

RoughRider season ticket holders will have exclusive access to the #3 car from 5:15 to 6:00PM.</p>
<p>Earnhardt, who died in a final lap crash at the 2001 Daytona 500, won seven NASCAR championships and a total of 76 races over the course of a 27 year career. His son, Dale Earnhardt Jr., is currently one of NASCAR's top drivers. </p>
<p>The arrival of the Dale Earnhardt #3 car will be the fourth event in a highly popular series of NASCAR promotions at RoughRider games this season. The Dale Earnhardt Jr. #8 Budweiser Born On Date car, the Dale Jarrett #88 UPS car and the Jeff Gordon #24 DuPont car have all already been on display at the ice arena this season.</p>
<p>Saturday night's game is the second of two on home ice this weekend for the RoughRiders. The Riders will open the weekend against the Sioux Falls Stampede tomorrow night at 7:05 at the ice arena.</p>

The Riders have won six straight games, matching their longest winning streak of the season. With a 4-2 win over the Chicago Steel in Bensenville, Illinois, last night, the Riders set a new league record for most road wins (21) in a season.</p> |
