Create-a-caption: Anybody seen Kasey's contact lenses?

By Jay Busbee

Here's a fun little photo courtesy of a reader, Brian Hay, who took this one in California a couple weeks back. (Got photos of your own? Send 'em to jay.busbee@yahoo.com. We're getting a good compilation already for our next reader photo collection.) Anyway, have at this one. See? There's humor everywhere!

After the jump, Brian Vickers goes wandering.

JJ:
Confusion ensues after Brian Vicker's crew chief tells Vickers to "feed the inner Red Bull," to which Vickers instinctively responds by driving into the grassy infield.

Baker:
How often do you seen a picture car spinning with Paul Menard and he's NOT the victim?

razz:
Vickers radios his crew chief disputing NASCAR's ruling that he is pitting outside his pit stall.

    Not even NASCAR can escape the culture while in California, as rival pit-crews, confused by the colors of their fire suits, assume the bloods vs. crips mentality and begin tagging their home turf.

    Carol, interesting comment, you know all about the bombs away deal from years ago, top teams been cheating for years, one incident that I remember was years ago a Hoss Ellington car was getting excessive fuel mileage, Nascar took his fuel tank away, he got in the car, cranked it up and drove away, very comical, but that was Hoss, he used to field cars for Fred Lorenzen, Gordon Johncock, Bobby Issac and a few more top drivers, was from Wilmington NC

    Due to pit errors by both crews, Nascar officials had them kneel and present their backsides for an official buttkicking.
