| Plot Summary of Saint Dale |
|---|
"Harley Claymore, a down-on-his-luck ex-NASCAR driver, agrees to lead the Dale Earnhardt Memorial Tour for Bailey Travel. Harley was never a fan of Dale's, but he needs the money and the chance for exposure at the tracks.
Bekasu Holofield promised her sister Justine they would vacation where ever she chose, and Bekasu grudgingly finds herself on the Earnhardt Tour. Justine and friend Cayle are NASCAR fanatics. Bekasu has no interest.
The Memorial tour is ten days of visiting the southern speedways, to visit various NASCAR sites and to lay a wreath at each raceway to honor the memory of Dale. Also to watch the races. Coming from diverse backgrounds, the only thing these tourists have in common, for the most part, is a love of racing and of Dale. As the bus travels along, these strangers learn to respect and care for one another. They care if Matthew finds a cure for his disease. Terence learns respect for the father he never knew. Will Sarah Nash reunite with her husband? Can love bring two very different people together? "
