I swear, if Fox overdoes this one, or otherwise bungles it, I'll never watch again. Yes, it really is hard to understand how civilized beings can watch this stuff. Everyone will have their eyes on the Monday overnights. There's the usual ghoulish rush to cash in. We hear that toy cars, jackets, and other trinkets, licensed and unlicensed, bearing Earnhardt's likeness and trademarks have quadrupled in price since Sunday.
Human nature is human, no matter how dark and ugly.
Dale Earnhardt's family will bury him Thursday, after services. The weather is questionable, cold and with rain possible as usual at Rockingham in February. Again, it' s human nature. Even if it reverts to the streets, the dry lakes and backwoods, someone will be racing against somebody in something. Inertia of momentum may carry it through this weekend a body in motion tends to remain in motion and if it gets through this weekend, it has a chance.
