You can't miss Badd Wolf. The Los Angeles native wears gold teeth and cowboy boots and drives an orange BMW emblazoned with logos like the ones on a stock car. He'll probably also be blaring his hip-hop track Dale Earnhardt, released last year, about his idol. Wolf, known to friends and family as Antoine, might also be wearing Earnhardt's black, white, and red Nascar team jacket, complete with Burger King and GM logos. "All my cousins looked at me like I was weird," says Wolf, 32, speaking by phone about the early days of his Nascar obsession, which began when he saw Days of Thunder at the age of 4. Among his collection of Earnhardt duds, he has a favorite Shell jacket with a crimson and gold Pennzoil motif. "Nascar was not a huge thing where I grew up-especially being Black."
