NASCAR is asking 200,000 fans to honor Dale Earnhardt this coming Sunday. On the third lap, everyone at the Daytona 500 will be asked to extend three fingers.
The announcer might as well say, "Everyone who thinks Dale's son will win, please raise your hand."
The smart money is on Junior. So is the dumb money, the Confederate money and every other bit of currency. Ten years after Dale Sr. died at the track, who doesn't think the Earnhardt stars are aligning?
"I don't really get into that hypothetical, fairy-tale ending stuff," Junior said.
He would like to earn his way into victory lane. Others suspect Earnhardt will do it the old-fashioned way - by relying on the script writers NASCAR hired from Disney.
I normally dismiss conspiracy theorists as having moon rocks for brains, but this isn't Dealey Plaza or Area 51. This is Daytona International, where a second gunman always seems ready to shoot out the tires of Earnhardt's competition.
