A 43-year-old man was arrested in Arkansas after leading police on a six-mile chase in a Ford Mustang with a No. 3 painted on the door, much like the famous car driven by the late Dale Earnhardt.
According to Monticello Live, James Ratliff fled as a deputy was attempting to stop the vehicle for having no tags. Ratliff has been charged with fleeing and possession of methamphetamine.

The story caught the attention of Dale Earnhardt Jr., who had this humorous response:
Painting a 3 on your car will not bestow your personal auto with extraordinary powers. https://t.co/Av7vbg1oRd
