Stewart's a knob. Good to see somebody standing up to him.

The Australian track owner was trying to persuade Smoke that Foster's is the best beer. Smoke was insisting Schlitz is the bomb. Mayhem ensued. ;D

Michael Annett charged with DWI after blowing .32 following arrest. Yes, that's right: .32.

Note to IJAG: He said he crashed into another car because he was texting.

MUWAHAHAHA!

 

Re: 2011 NASCAR running thread

Oh, god, how I was hoping that story somehow wouldn't hit this site once I saw he was texting.

No. 1: I understand he's an ex-hockey dude from the middle of America...but how can ANYONE get to a .32 and still be conscious, let alone driving AND texting?

No. 2: I only text and drive when I'm sober. I never text when I'm drunk. I need one hand to hold the beer.

KIDDING!

 

Re: 2011 NASCAR running thread

It was the second time he ran into someone while texting.

And seriously, .32 was drunker than either of us was that night in Dover ... hell, it was probably drunker than both of us put together.

 

Re: 2011 NASCAR running thread

Well, to be fair, I didn't stay drunk for long.

AND I didn't drive.

 

Re: 2011 NASCAR running thread

No, but you did keep the bar entertained. And that was worth the price of admission. ;D

Note to others: Do not alternate between Chocolatinis and Vodka Collinses. Like six of each.

 

Re: 2011 NASCAR running thread

That's just how we roll. Large.

And occasionally utterly and terrifyingly out of control.

Buy the ticket, take the ride.

 

Re: 2011 NASCAR running thread

I'm in, round-trip.
