All-Purpose NASCAR thread II

No one caught the blurb in the Washington Times?

http://video1.washingtontimes.com/fishwrap/2007/10/talladega_public_health_risk.html

Congressional staffers were required to be immunized against Hep A, Hep B, tetanus, diptheria and influenza. Two House Democratic staffers obliged, House Republicans declined, and the guy who represents Concord is pissed off about it.

Does this mean I can catch hepatitis from this thread? I don't know where you people have been!

 

I still say an SportsJournalists.com Outing should take place in the Talladega infield.

 

By outing do you mean we would all show up wearing Bud/Junior paraphernalia and sing the NASACAR hit "Jeff Gordon's Gay"?

 

While Jeff Foxworthy and Ron White CDs blare from the broken-down RV behind us, sure.

 

I love Ron White!
Man, this outing is gonna rock!

 

Just so you know and everyone can't start practicing

Here are the lyrics to Tim Wilson's song

Jeff Gordon's gay! Jeff Gordon's gay!
At least that's what them ornery Earnhardt fans always say.
They swear he's usin' Vaseline on the 24 Chevrolet,
Jeff Gordon's gay, he must be gay!

He wears rainbow colors, he's a handsome fella,
Standin' in Victory Lane, with a gorgeous little wife
with a check in her hand, sippin that gay champagne
Them Earnhardt fans up in the stands, all chokin' on bread & Spam,
say Gordon's gay every time he turns and hugs Ray Evernham!

Jeff Gordon's gay, he must be gay!
He's probably whistlin' Elton John or Spandau Ballet!
He's got them rainbow warriors singin YMCA,
Jeff Gordon's gay, he must be gay!

He's got 3 Winston Cup trophies sittin' home on his trophy shelf,
but I betcha he can't pick one up, at least not by hisself!

Jeff Gordon's gay! Jeff Gordon's gay!
At least thats what the people who lose on Sunday always say.
They swear he's usin' Vaseline on the 24 Chevrolet,
Jeff Gordon's gay, he must be gay!

and next year he'll drive the long pink Cadillac... for Mary Kay!!!

 

How many times a day does one see "Spandau Ballet" in print?

Great pull.

 

I still have to fight the wheel, even though I can pretty much recite the lyrics now.

One of my buddies is a rabid Gordon fan ... about pulled the radio out of the car when he heard the first line, then was laughing like a hyena by the end.

 

Never heard that song, Orville, thanks for the heads-up.

 

Last fall, somebody towed in a Jacuzzi behind his RV rather than a Jeep or something. He was parked right across from the crew that runs the semi-annual "Free Ice Cold Crown Shots For Ladies" tent at the south tunnel entrance to the infield. I suspect a good time was had by many that weekend --- but possibly not remembered later. What happens in Degaville stays in Degaville.

 

Here's more to it, from the NASCAR perspective : http://sports.yahoo.com/nascar/news?slug=jb-inoculation101207&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

Whoever this Benny Thompson guy is, doesn't he know that a segment of brothers in this country love racin' and attending NASCAR events as well?
