Hold My Beer Watch This

You just can't make this stuff up, gotta love the south! I was reading my Google start up page and saw this headline: "Spanky Spanlger in a preshow at the Charlotte Motor Speedway crashes his RV with the words, Hold My Beer.... Watch This spray painted on the side.
This only grabbed my attention because my poor husband has to cover this Nascar race twice a year, and comes home with stories that could fill a book. I think Gerry has been covering this race for about 30 years now. One year I ended up in the infield hospital with a stomach bug and later stopped Richard Petty at his pit and got someone to shoot our picture together. If you have never been to a Nascar race, it is a thing to behold. It's really scary how many simple minded people can fit into one place at the same time :)

I know look where I love!
I have to figure out how to blog about our afternoon- we think it all started when the neighbor tried to burn brush......
we were not concern- maybe a little- until Mark heard the explosion.
Seems he blew up a car....
Like I said...

Meredith, WTF!
Cindy, I think Sarah is about as hillbilly as they come!

Tracey, that's an insult to the intelligence of the hillbillies...but I do wonder if Sarah enjoys nascar. Great picture.

What a crack-up! Before moving to the coast, we lived in Bakersfield - well-known for loving NASCAR and, of course, Sarah Palin.

I've been to one racing event at the track... enough for a lifetime.
