Sunburn Is The New Cool

Dale Earnhardt Jr., an iconic figure in NASCAR, often left a trail of inspired fans in the wake of his high-speed laps. As he neared retirement, one ardent fan’s tribute was to immortalize his racecar number using nothing but sunlight and skin, effectively tanning it onto his chest.

Dale’s legacy is as enduring as that tan: he’s a two-time Daytona 500 winner and has left an indelible mark on the sport. But while passion runs deep, so do the risks of tanning. Prolonged sun exposure can be harmful, increasing the chances of skin aging and cancer. It’s a sunburned salute, both heartwarming and slightly concerning!
