7. Quite right. Anyway, the Formula One season began today, so we...

...highbrows finally have some appropriately snooty motorsport to watch. Go back to your fried chicken and trashcans full of beer. I'll be over there drinking champagne with the supermodels. Chin chin!

3. LOL

Nope. Darrell Waltrip is working the booth this afternoon and he lost his voice.

4. I thought it was way cool...

...of Mt. Dew to give DW his old Buick that he won 4 Bristol races in a row driving. You could see he was blown away by the gesture.

5. That was very cool

I remember rooting for that car so long ago. And how unsafe they were, too.

6. That was very cool...

They probably forced him to come to work today just to give him the car. But that was pretty painful to hear......

8. I still get shivers

From when he hit the wall flush with the driver's side coming out of turn 4 during the 1981 Daytona 500 in that same Mountain Dew car. The one that used to stick out before the pit entrance. The same one where Ricky Knotts was killed during qualifying that same year. That was one of the hardest hits I've ever seen a stock car take in my life.
