So you think you wanna be a NASCAR star, eh? Fast cars… even FASTER women! Racin, riches, and more fame than rock stars, baseball players or supermodels!! And the BEST part… it’s only 36 “races” a year!! Races, yes. Weeks?? Forget about it!!! Try 3 weeks off a year! Unless you end up WINNING the Championship! Then you’re lucky to have ONE week off before you're jumping BACK into your sled and testing for NEXT year’s season!!
Forget Houdini & David Copperfield… the best MAGICIAN just may be Jeff Gordon! How the hell did he have time to have a baby with his new wife? Was there some kind of ride-along program I missed? “Mile Quick” club perhaps??
Hell dare! Mark Martin woke up one day to find some strange folks living in his home… his family!! Damn near forgot what they looked like!!
Big Papi from the Red Sox enjoyed almost 2 months of relaxation after winning the World Series, and Peyton Manning had time to tape 15 more commercials, hunt, fish and turn down 27 marriage proposals after hoisting the king of the NFL hardware in January '07.
But if you wanna be like Jeff, Jimmie or Tony Stewart, you better plan on having your mail delivered to your work, er, your race shop! Racers, crew chiefs and even tire changers are the most invisible athletes in their neighborhoods… even if the drivers have more magazine covers than Britney, Jessica OR Lindsay “Thank you bartender, may I have ANOTHER” Lohan!
This is Nuttz on NASCAR!
