Aiiiieeeee!!! It's zombie Dale Earnhardt! Run! RUN!!!

By Jay Busbee

Okay, so you tell me this isn't creepy. You're wandering around Daytona a few weeks ago, and you see this fellow walking around. And not just hanging out in a golf shirt and khaki slacks, either; no, this guy is wearing all the Intimidator memorabilia he could find.

So ... what do you say to Not-Dale here? "Good to see you"? "Glad you're back"? Do you get a photo of him and an "Obama defeats McCain" newspaper, then sell it to the Weekly World News? (I would.)

In related news, the real Reed Sorenson wandered for two hours in the Daytona infield and nobody noticed except for the grounds crew, which put him to work picking up trash. Such is life.

Let Zombie Dale and his mysterious ways be your first topic of discussion for tonight's Midnight Marbles. Future topics can spin into whatever. And keep an eye on the site throughout the weekend; we'll have the requisite Running Wide Open talkback threads going, along with a surprise or two here or there. Live chat on race day too, out on the front page. Enjoy the weekend, folks!

    Gotta say, Thrilla, as much of a NASCAR fan as I am...zombie racing would be pretty damn close.

    priss - New people? They sure know a lot about the regular posters? I really wonder if we know them, but we'll never find out. hha
    kg - Don't know if you're around, but on Nascar Now, they just interviewed Biffle at Dumont Sand Dunes. He loves that place.

    Mk...Jay wasn't the one dressing up as the Intimidator..he was only observing the (intentional.unintentional) likeness..
