ORLANDO, Fla. (Crime Library) — NASCAR fans saw something a little different Monday at the Atlanta Motor Speedway's Nextel Cup Golden Corral 500: the face of Jennifer Kesse, the 24-year-old Orlando woman missing since Jan. 24.

A picture of Kesse and the address of a Web site dedicated to finding her were plastered on the decklid (truck) of Nextel Cup driver Jeremy Mayfield's No. 19 red Dodge Charger.
The 500-mile NASCAR race was originally set to run Sunday but torrential rains forced a delay Monday. The race was televised on FX.
The car's owner, Ray Evernham, graduated from Raritan High School in Barnegat, N.J. with Jennifer's mother, Joyce Kesse. Recently, their graduating class held a 30-year reunion. Although neither Evernham nor Joyce Kesse attended the reunion, word soon reached Evernham that the daughter of his high school classmate had disappeared.
Evernham contacted the Kesses and offered to put a picture of Jennifer on the decklid of his No. 19 car.
