The Prince of NASCAR

I happen to live in NASCAR county. That's right. NASCAR. I hated NASCAR before I moved here, hated the sight of traffic at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. But living here, I saw how important the sport (yes, sport) was to the area. And when the races came to the Lowe's Motor Speedway, it was a big deal, a huge deal... you'd like Elvis came back to life. So who's the sport's largest name? Well, that would be this guy, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Like his daddy before him, he's a star. Well, his father, Dale Earnhardt, grew up in the town next to mine, Kannapolis, where they used to make towels. The road that goes from Kannapolis to Concord (my town) is Highway 3 (named after Daddy Earnhardt's number 3 car).
