A deposit in a junkyard is probably a good bet. But what if there is some significant racing history associated with it.

Scott Blaine — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 22:24:40 +0000

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is certainly one of the most popular NASCAR drivers out there. He certainly is a favorite of mine. I was a fan of his Daddy and became of fan of Junior even before Senior's untimely death 10 years ago. Jr. is just a very likeable guy, he's a good ol' boy from the South. He doesn't act all cocky and arrogant( *COUGH* Kyle Busch *COUGH*). He's just a regular dude who just so happens to have a pretty cool job.
