Under influence

Isn’t it interesting that, nearly all the cars sponsored by beer or distilled spirits (Busch -- Miller Lite, Earnhardt -- Budweiser, McMurray -- Crown Royal, Bowyer -- Jack Daniel’s) were either the cause of nearly all the accidents or involved in them during the Daytona 500? It really looks like alcohol and racing do not mix. Cheers!

A special section on NASCAR? What’s next, pro wrestling? Tiddlywinks? Jacks? At least we can expect the same when the Stanley Cup playoffs roll around.
