The delightful Liz Clarke on Dale Earnhardt in a piece from the Post (is she the last of their memorable sportswriters?), although I don't know if I would say "nowhere was Earnhardt’s supremacy more evident than at Daytona" given that he only won the 500 one time. Anyway, the piece reminded me of Springsteen's "Cadillac Ranch" and its line about Junior Johnson runnin' through the woods of Caroline. I wouldn't have thought that NASCAR was noteworthy enough to merit a line in a song by a Northerner in 1980, but Bruce did like cars. And the "Born in the USA"-era E Street Band really liked stage choreography as shown in the clip below. Seeing Nils in that oversized, ten-gallon novelty hat always cracks me up, too.
