So I guess to everyone outside the racing world, anyone in a fire suit must be a NASCAR driver, including IRL darling Danica. Guess their little PR stunt totally backfired! Poor IRL!
Here is the actual web site: MSN FAIL!
Average Rating:...I guess it's saying something for the pervasiveness of NASCAR in the American psyche. If it was racing, it HAD to be NASCAR.
You should've watched Attack of The Show last night on G4 channel 354 if you have Direc TV! IT WAS SO FUNNY!!!
Nice catch Lauren. I thought the members of the media were supposed to be the professionals, with armies of fact checkers, unlike those amateur bloggers sitting around in their pajamas.
I was talking to some people who know nothing about auto racing and when I told them I was going to the Brickyard they told me to tell Milka and Danica to behave. :) needless to say I've laughed all day about that one. Then I told them my Milka Duno story.:)
