Divine intervention
5:12 PM
If Carl Edwards has his way, Tom Giacchi will play a clean-shaven Jesus in his church's Christmas pageant this holiday season.
Giacchi, Edwards' longtime friend and motorcoach driver, has famously refused to shave since November 2005, when Edwards last won a race in the Nextel Cup Series.
Despite considerable discomfort and countless laughs, Giacchi has refused to fold, and his beard now extends to his chest. He hopes to play a Jesus in his church's Christmas pageant. Seriously. Not kidding.
Sunday's Ford 400 is obviously the final race of the season, and if Edwards can't break his 37-race losing streak, Giacchi will have to wait a minimum of three months.
