DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - NASCAR teams are running a decal on their cars at Daytona International Speedway to honor the victims of the mass shooting in nearby Orlando.
The massacre led to the deaths of 49 victims at a nightclub.
"It was a terrible tragedy," Dale Earnhardt Jr. said Thursday. "I'm glad that the sport has got the stickers on all the cars. I think it's a great way for us to show our support."
