That’s what ESPN subtitled their article about last week’s happenings at NASCAR’s UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400.
OK, I guess I better explain what the word NASCAR is doing here. I recently worked with a fellow (actually, I should say ‘fella’, I guess) that was a huge NASCAR fan. Me, not one, but just catching snippets of the action on and off the track, I find myself becoming an addict of the soap opera that apparently accompanies this sport…plus apparently my parents were at this race; I almost flipped out when I heard my Dad had always wanted to go to a race in-person. What??! Never saw that coming…needless to say I’m living proof that rarely was a NASCAR race on TV in our household growing up. Somewhere along the way though, NASCAR pulled him in, making me suspicious; is there some mindwashing going on in those adverts?
So, to my NASCAR-lovin’ friends, I bring you my first NASCAR entry; heck I even included it as a separate blog category on this site. But don’t expect tons of updates, as I’m a passive observer right now….
Back to the article, though, how about this cheater’s response!:
And if NASCAR officials weren’t already angry, their patience was tested when Berrier showed little remorse after being caught.
“If I had to do it again, I’d still play it to try to get away with it, because I know how I got caught,” he told NASCAR.com.
Needless to say I’ll never be a fan of NASCAR as a sport, especially with stuff like this, but the behind-the-scenes stuff? Priceless…
