Reminiscing...Just Not Like That

Shaq is not meant for motorsports. Granted, he's made it known that his personal vehicles are closer to monster trucks than cars because he just doesn't freaking FIT in them....so Tuesday was the premiere of Shaq Vs. It was pretty entertaining, mostly because he's got a really good sense of humor.

And he fell over a fake horse in Dale Jr.'s yard while trying to mount it. Freaking HILARIOUS.

So of course, Jr's got to give Shaq a tour, and one of the first things that he notices is that there are some of Dale's old firesuits framed and hung on the wall. The one that Shaq finds most interesting? His old charred firesuit from when he was racing for the Grand Prix at Sonoma. Long story short, this was the result--and it wasn't even during the race, this was practice.

Ahh, such an interesting year...and that crash left a nasty little scar patch on his neck. It's still sort of noticeable, even though he's now opted for the epic beard. HOWEVER, the epic long hair he grew after this accident is MUCH smexier. :3

Also, I don't know if I appreciate Erin McCarthy referring to the bearded Nascar drivers as 'weird mountain men'. Seriously. Especially when the most popular driver for some six years running is one of them. >.>

Carry on now...
