On the air Tune in: Coverage of the Nextel Cup at Dover International Speedway, starts at 1 p.m. Sunday on Ch.28 and 1010-AM. The green flag drops at 1:30. Going, going ...: If you missed it on the Lug Nuts blog (tampabay.com), there will be a few final rides with Dale Earnhardt Jr. in his No.8. By Friday, 71 people bid on eBay for one. The price tag went from 99 cents (seriously) to $7,202 as of 4:30 p.m. Friday. Money raised goes to the Victory Junction Gang. Want a (slightly) cheaper way to remember Earnhardt in his red No.8? Pony up for a pinball machine. An eBay seller offers a Junior No.8 limited edition for $4,997. A good deal? Tough to say. Set that sucker on pay-to-play and have a family reunion. At a quarter a game, you'll need your kin to play 20,000 times to pay it off.
