Dale Earnhardt is the content; he is the "threeness" for this instance of the form of 3, even though there aren't three of anything. (That said, I'm not even sure if there is actually a consensus on whether number is pure form or whether it not really some sort of self-sufficent concept...the concept of three is readily imaginable without it predicating anything...whereas the concept of, say, a sonnet is impossible to think of outside the context of a poem. Anyone feel free to correct me here...)
