Hoping to get another chance at racing, former stock car driver Harley Claymore leads a group of tourists on a guided tour of Southern speedways, only to watch as the trip becomes a memorial
pilgrimage in honor of NASCAR champion Dale Earnhardt, Sr. He'll take the "Number Three Pilgrims" through seven states in eight days, watching them lay wreaths at each track in honor of the
Intimidator. As the bus rolls onward, miracles begin happening. Prayers are answered, secrets are revealed, and bonds are forged. For Harley and his passengers, the trip becomes one of
self-discovery, as their lives are altered forever amid the abiding presence of #3.
