Tongue in cheek...
Top Ten NASCAR Driver Superstitions
Kim DeHaven and Amy Henderson/Frontstretch.com
10. Dale Jarrett and Jeremy Mayfield: It's bad luck to finish in thirteenth place, so it's safer to just ride around at the back.
9. Michael Waltrip: It's bad luck to attempt to qualify for a race on Friday or Saturday. Or any day that isn't the second Thursday in February…at Daytona.
8. Kyle Busch: Makes girlfriend run the Spin Cycle on the washer from now on.
7. Joe Nemechek: Being car 13 is Not unlucky…car 13 is NOT unlucky…car 13 is NOT unluck-oh $#*&!!!
6. Casey Mears: A sudden, inexplicable fear of the number 48.
5. Kevin Harvick: Tying a knot into a handkerchief wards off evil; tying a knot in your underwear causes wedgies.
4. Jeff Gordon: Never eat Beer Nuts before a race – they're, like, seeds, or something, and they grow into these great big cans by the time the race is over…
3. Juan Pablo Montoya: Always rub the sides of other race cars for good luck.
2. Dale Earnhardt, Jr.: Just because I have Bud on the car…doesn't mean they won't throw Bud at a car…
1. Kenny Wallace, Ken Schrader, and Tony Stewart: Only race on days that end in "Y."
