11.  "I was swatting at a bee and must have accidently knocked the padding out the window."

Come on readers!  Give us YOUR best excuse.  (And then you can call in sick for me one day!    )

* That wasn't a roll cage pad, that was my Chevy contract.

* What do you mean, we can't get rid of our tobacco spit cups?!?

* Michael Waltrip passed me and I acted out of reflex.

Apparently we used the wrong pad. This one had wings! Its probably super absorbent too.

I just thought about something. One of his sponsors is Red Bull so maybe instead of giving him wing's it gave the padding wing's. Or better yet maybe he spilled some Red Bull on the padding lmao.

OK Jeff.   I think I peed myself a little on that one!  You ROCK!

What's one of the most asked questions a new fan asks a driver?


Twue story:
Back in the day, there weren't as many truckstops or places for a trucker to just pull over whenever. Easy to get stuck  ---- so they just kept on truckin',........
thanx a lot to a hole in the floorboard and a hose connected to it. Maybe a funnel.
All depends.

In Defensive Driving it's taught that a good driver aims high. And always leave yourself an out.
Keeping in mind that a "professional" trucker, is one who doesn't spatter his boots when he checks the tires,....I'd think aiming low would't be advised.
Although this is still practiced by a few hard-core truckers to this day, it's said that the bull-haulers find old habits hard to break.
Why not?
The bulls do.

But, I digress.

I suggest it was just such a device an off-road truck racer would find helpful and time saving. However, probably not information said off-road truck racer would want the media to get ahold of and run with it. No way!
Even foam can have an edge.
Imagine too many other drivers employing the same time saving relief tactics!
There goes the edge and another long, dry spell could occur.

Off-Road Rob looked a little red in the face after the checkered flag flew when he realized that those eagle-eyed debris watchers up there in the crow's nest(s) zoomed-in on his little secret and it's accidential loss of containment.
Bummers!

It just flat got away from him.
Coulda been a roll of T.P.
That'a been cool!

Either way, it's not something a driver would want the whole crew to know.
Ya reckon?

So,................

I think it was a piece of his steering wheel that flew out the window.
Or a gear-shift warmer.

That's what I think.

Maybe it was the spacer that goes between his ears...

Aftershock IS correct, however about the method employed by off-road racers to ensure a "long dry spell"-they use an external catheter complete with hole in the floorboard.  They also apparently use it for icky practical jokes before the race starts.  The things you learn on Jimmie Johnson's XM show...
