Praying for a race car takes a whole new meaning

Parishoners of the non-denominational Bayside Community church were greeted yesterday by an interesting proposition:  a chance to be photographed next to the late Dale Earnhardt’s No. 3 Chevrolet Monte Carlo NASCAR racer. Church officials, however, informed their flock that those interested in getting a snap with the great one’s ride would require sitting through a sermon first and then sit through another one next week to pick up the photo. The pastor stated that use of the race car in such a manner was one of the church’s”fresh ways to communicate the ageless gospel.” Wonder what Junior thinks about it?
