Goat Born With White '3' On Its Side
Dale Earnhardt Fans Flock To See Animal
Posted: 5:32 a.m. EDT July 3, 2002

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- A four-month-old goat with a curious birthmark has fans of the late racing star Dale Earnhardt flocking to a north Florida farm to pay homage.

The brown Nubian goat, named Lil' Dale, was born with a distinctive white three - Earnhardt's number - on her right side. SOURCE: Daytona Beach News-Journal "It's weird," said her owner, Jerry Pierson. "I've seen people take pictures and get tears in their eyes."

Some racing fans who came to see the young goat in Interlachen, about 50 miles south of Jacksonville, said the image is that of a classic ghost.

"One woman said 'Man, she gives me chills,'" Pierson said.

Pierson said Lil' Dale was born with the number and the marking was not painted, shaved, or otherwise manufactured.

Although she was born on a meat and dairy farm, Pierson Lil' Dale likely has a career in advertising.

"How couldn't she be something to NASCAR or auto racing?" Pierson asked. "All you have to do is put an oilcan in front of her and it'll sell."

Uh.....

[Semper Paratus]

We just got to get this goat and the red heifer together.

[EBITDA]

So I guess it is time to rebuild the temple to Dale?

[ArrogantBustard]

Y'all raise goats, right?

[InvisibleChurch]

nascar will be by shortly to lower the goat's ears by a quarter of an inch

[goldstategop]

NASCAR goes to the GOATS!!! Bwahahaha!!!!!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Careful! Could be the 'antichrist' ;-)

[Maceman]

I hope I don't come back as a goat, too.

[WellsFargo94]

Isn't that cute?! Good luck to the enterprising rancher.

[mewzilla]

According to my brother that's Jeff Gordon. Cute li'l goat, BTW.

[WellsFargo94]

How about, "Junior, Dad's home"!?

[OXENinFLA]

Gotta Love Reincarnation.

I wonder how long it will be before NASCAR alows a goat to drive, cause I know Dale fans will want this goat to drive his car too.

[Icthus]

Neckcar and boiled peanuts....a great southern tradition! ;o)

"I've seen people take pictures and get tears in their eyes."

Yikes...

[SGCOS]

Dale Earnhardt was the most meanest and low-life scumbag driver ever to hit the NASCAR circuit.

[TADSLOS]

Ho-hum, just another sign of the second coming of the Intimidator...

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Dale Earnhardt was the most meanest and low-life scumbag driver ever to hit the NASCAR circuit.

Quiet...you're upsetting the goat.

[mewzilla]

Ornery, I'll grant you. But low-life? In what way?

[OXENinFLA]

I come from Chicago and now live in JAX, FL. At 1st I couldn't figure out why people in the south eat boiled peanuts, but then I came to notice some people in the south DON'T HAVE ANY TEETH to chew their food with.

[SGCOS]

Low life in what way? Hmm, if he couldn't outdrive an opponent he'd take him out. Intentionally. In my opinion, that's low life.

However, much like wwf wrestling and the nba, perhaps that was the script.
