From the Marbles - NASCAR

One last look at the pink cars of Bobby Labonte, Elliott Sadler and Kyle Busch, from this past weekend. They were all purtied up to raise awareness for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, fighting breast cancer, which is a cause we can all get behind.

Welcome back to your latest Midnight Marbles thread, where you can talk pink cars or whatever else you'd like to discuss. For the newcomers, this is the open-bar section, where all topics are welcome, except that it's also BYOB. We can't be responsible for you people getting sick and throwing up all over Ball Don't Lie or Puck Daddy. Again.

Have a good one, and we'll talk to you in just a bit with more!

    Kudos to the (real men) drivers who had their race cars painted Pink in honor of the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

    Oh Mikey, Mikey, you just don't crash on the track, you continue to crash off the track as well. "NASCAR driver Michael Waltrip was ticketed for failure to yield after a collision with a motorcycle Wednesday night in Mooresville, N.C. A police report stated Waltrip passed a field sobriety test at the scene of the accident. Waltrip was given a breathalyzer test and had a .06 blood-alcohol level, which is under the North Carolina legal limit of .08."
    "Waltrip was making a U-turn when his Lexus collided with a Harley Davidson motorcycle. The motorcyclist was treated at Lake Norman Regional Center., but his injuries have not been released. Waltrip was not injured."

    chase n dani= I saw that. Seems to me his insurance company might have something to say since thats twice in 2 years. However they said he was under the illegal limit and only got a ticket. But this time another person was involved and he's lucky he didn't kill the guy. Next time (and there will be) he might not be so lucky.

    Jimmie, in Nascar terms, that is not drunk, but borderline drunk, maybe he should be given a stern warning, lol, play on Nascar words, anyway, how are you, but really, it is very dangerous, he could have very easily killed someone, Nascar should put him on probation

    Bad Michael Waltrip, good Kyle, Elliott and Bobby. Great cause. And I can always get behind pink M&M's. Maybe not their driver, but the M&Ms themselves rock.

    Lol Frevic; welcome to the Idiots' Club!
    Don't know what to think about Mikey. But hasn't he been separated from his wife for a couple years? He might be a teensy bit depressed...

    Hey, everyone! Art is either up late or very early! Mike and Buffy split before his last off-track incident. Glad to hear the tornadoes missed you MP. Haven't heard anything about weather away from here yet. Was busy converting some photos I had to take with my personal camera for work. My work camera wasn't up to the job!
