Yes, I'll admit it, I'm a Nascar fan, and although I never rooted for Dale Earnhardt (just yelled at him), I respected him and will miss him. But it's just plain sick that the racer that bumped him, Sterling Marlin, is getting death threats against him and his family.

Rahal is rumored to be taking over Jaguar F1 Racing for the next two years. If it is true, he follows Juan Pablo Montoya and Barry Green to join F1 out of CART.
