Back when Jr won at Daytona, just months after his dad was killed in turn 4 of the Daytona 500, I seriously thought that NASCAR had rigged the race. Now, rumors are flying that NASCAR rigged qualifying for the 500, and that Earnhardt’s car “isn’t exactly legal”. Tony Kornheiser of PTI reports, and he is one of the most credible reporters in sports. I don’t believe this is true, Chevy and Hendrick are always the best at Daytona, but I can’t deny there is always a part of me that thinks NASCAR is trying to give Earnhardt that extra push to get him over the top. Even if NASCAR knows Earnhardt’s car wasn’t legal, he tore it up in practice today, and will start in the back for the 500. NASCAR, this better not be true.
