Earnhardt Jr. saved by father?

[Ivan Seeking]

NEW YORK (AP) -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. says he believes his late father, seven-time NASCAR champion Dale Earnhardt, had a lot to do with his surviving a burning wreck at a sports car event in July...."He was like, 'Nobody helped you get out,' and I was like, 'That's strange because I swear somebody...had me underneath...my arms and was carrying me out of the car.' I mean, I swear to God."[continued]

Sorry, but I couldn't resist a bad joke.

How is Dale Ernhart similer to Pink Floyd.

The Wall was their last hit.

I'm guessing it has something to do with a wall...

Oh Yeah, guess I forgot to mention, select the bottom of the message for the answer. You are correct.

I was going to say something like; All in all it's just another Bruick in the wall...

But I think that would have been the wrong make of vehicle, dunno.

I heard them reporting this on the news yesterday...on the NEWS...yeesh. My immediate thought was...well, I guess it was a bad enough crash that he was a bit disoriented and probably hallucinating a bit or something...must've jiggled his brain around a bit. That or he just knows full well what gives good press coverage since the way I heard it, it was a reporter asking him if he thought it was his father helping him...so basically the reporter was telling him what to say to get a good sound bite or quote.
