    Professional Racing Drivers In 2-Ton Cars Terrified By Droplets Of Water

    CONCORD, NC—A paralyzing fear of precipitation kept dozens of highly skilled competition drivers, all of them trained to drive roll-cage equipped cars mere inches from one another at speeds exceeding 200 miles per hour for extended periods of time, from finishing the Coca-Cola 600 Monday. "I'm overjoyed to win the race, but I'm even more relieved that I didn't have to face the worst horror known to the professional racer: falling moisture," said David Reutimann, who was declared the winner when officials pronounced the track "horrifyingly damp" after only 227 laps and halted NASCAR's longest race. "Every race driver, except for maybe the guys in Formula One, and the Le Mans drivers, the Rolex Series, and rally drivers, I guess, and those guys in amateur racing...anyway, every single racing driver knows that if you drive in the rain you will automatically crash. No one in NASCAR wants to see crashes." Reutimann then thanked his sponsors and rushed off to hide in his motor home until the sun came out

    Report Card

    Let's be fair with Dale Jr. by giving him an honest evaluation of his ability as a driver on a 1-10 scale:

    savvy operator of the car: 6
    smart driver: 3
    good with the media: 9
    poster boy of the sport: 8
    team synergy: 3
    gutsy: 7
    avoiding trouble: 5
    selling junk (memorabilia) 10
    TV guest (Letterman) 8
    winner: 2

    It adds up to failure to excel at the highest level of the sport. He is a very successful person, but not a top shelf driver...it takes much more than genetics......as he proves weekend after weekend.
