RICHMOND, VIRGINIA - News that autopsy photographs of Lisa ``Left Eye'' Lopes have appeared on the Internet has prompted Dale Earnhardt Incorporated to plan a tribute to the singer during Saturday night's NASCAR race in Richmond, Virginia.<br>

During the Pontiac 400 at Richmond International Raceway, the race cars of Dale Earnhardt Junior, Steve Park and Michael Waltrip will each have a black stripe under the left headlight. Over-the-wall pit crew members also will wear stripes under their left eyes. Lopes often performed with a similar stripe under her left eye.
