A pig born with a curious birthmark of a number eight on its back may be headed for the chopping block unless his connection to a NASCAR superstar can save him, according to a Local 6 News report.

"Ally" the pig was born in Cabell, W. Va., with a unique eight marking -- the same number of NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr.

The pig's owner Dana Shull isn't really a NASCAR fan, and says Ally could be breakfast unless someone wants to buy the animal, Local 6 News reported.

Shull said he plans to send a photo of the pig to Earnhardt Jr.
