DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - When Bobby Labonte takes the green flag in Sunday's Daytona 500, he'll be racing for victory - and the Lord.

The hood of Labonte's car is both a shameless movie plug - "The Passion of the Christ,'' coming soon to a theater near you - and some new-style proselytizing for the Gospel.

The Moderator clearly hates NASCAR. Oh well. There's no accounting for taste...

"I guarantee you're never going to see anything like what happened with Janet Jackson,'' Shepherd said, referring to the singer whose breast was exposed during the Super Bowl halftime show. "Those things are not going to happen in our sport. Not while Bill France is around.''

When my wife was dating a journalist (and acting as his photographer) some 20 years ago or so, there was a lot going on in the Daytona infield that makes Janet Jackson's exposure look like a church picnic.

Things may have changed since then.

Labonte's got class. I was looking for the #8 or #15 to win, but seeing Bobby's "Passion" hit the checkered flag first would be great.

I've been a Jr fan since 2001, but I'll be rooting for Labonte at Daytona
