Daily Gut: Daytona 500 Winner Michael Waltrip

why not a combined event, let the javelin throwers, use the speeding cars for targets. or let the discus throwers try to hit the pit crew when changing tires, and re-fueling? that would be a real red-eye event!

Great interview Greg. Love Michael Waltrip.

A long time ago I was a fan "stock car racing" when anybody, literally, could get in it. Now, like Waltrip said, the cars are a quarter mill sans motor. When it became a sport only millionaires or teams with $100K an up sponsors could afford, I lost interest.

Here's an idea. Obama can sponsor a Sprint Cup car. It would be easy to recognize with his Obama logo and extreme government paint job with Healthcare advertising painted all over it and other highlighted Obama pet projects like Cap and Trade and Socialism for the masses. Harry "Speedy Job Losses" Reid and Nancy "Botox Testbed" Pelosi would be the drivers. Robert "Stuttering Bob" Gibbs and Rahm "Nine Fingers" Emanuel would be part of the pit crew and the Messiah, dressed in a wife beater, would stand in his elevated perch nervously chain smoking throughout the race. Imagine the crowds cheering every time Carl Edwards flips the 'Obaminator' over when they come out of the back turn at 190+ and enter the grandstand straightaway. CSPAN would cover NASCAR. It would be awesome.

We could always have go kart racing at the Olympics, and have the best drivers from each series and country compete. Colombia has JPM, England has Hamilton, US has quite a few, etc.

Anyway, Mikey needs to concentrate on his team more, instead of being everywhere on TV, especially on Speed Channel.

Are you kidding me? If the government was involved it would cost $3.2 trillion dollars, the car would never even finish a race, much less win, and after every race we get a two hour speech on how it was all Bush's fault, or our own fault for being too stupid to understand how great a car it was.
