It's not bad enough that watching paint dry is more exciting than watching NASCAR races (until the crashes, which is the only reason why morbid rednecks watch it) - you have things like this popping up which solidifies my low opinion of the kind of folks that follow this "sport"...
Fans see goat's birthmark as Dale Earnhardt tribute

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - A 4-month-old goat with a curious birthmark has fans of the late racing star Dale Earnhardt flocking to a north Florida farm.
The brown Nubian goat, named Lil' Dale, was born with a distinctive white "3" - Earnhardt's number - on her right side.
"It's weird," said her owner, Jerry Pierson. "I've seen people take pictures and get tears in their eyes."
"One woman said, 'Man, she gives me chills,' " Pierson said.
Although she was born on a meat and dairy farm in Interlachen, about 50 miles south of Jacksonville, Pierson says Lil' Dale likely has a career in advertising.
"How couldn't she be something to NASCAR or auto racing?" Pierson asked. "All you have to do is put an oilcan in front of her and it'll sell."
