Some people prefer a rabbit’s foot, a lucky pair of socks or some other trinket to bring luck. But NASCAR driver Regan Smith is looking for Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow to bring him a little good fortune.
According to Smith’s p.r. reps, Smith plans to bring his No. 78 Furniture Row Chevrolet car to the Denver Broncos-Chicago Bears game in Denver Sunday in the hopes that Tim Tebow’s luck will rub off on him and his Sprint Cup team when the season starts next February with Daytona 500. Smith, 28, got his first career victory at the Showtime Southern 500 in Darlington, South Carolina in May.
Fans can stop by Smith’s car for autographs at Mile High Stadium.
“It’s been so exciting to follow the Broncos and watch in amazement the winning leadership of Tim Tebow,” said Smith, a Denver-area resident. “This is a great opportunity to have our Furniture Row race car on display for Colorado sports fans. The way the Broncos are playing as of late it’s like taking the lead during the closing laps of a Sprint Cup race and holding off the competition to the checkered flag. It’s been an exciting but nerve-racking season for all Broncos fans.”
If this works, I’m asking Tim Tebow to touch my checkbook.
