So Michael Waltrip says it was simply a case of the snoozies that had him hurtling off a country road at 70 miles per hour in North Carolina Friday.
Come on now, there’s got to be more to that story. It just doesn’t add up, especially considering the fact that Mikey has been having trouble getting up to 70 mph lately on the race track.
With that we offer up the top-10 reasons Michael Waltrip crashed last week.
1. --- With NASCAR's current testing limitations you’ve got to get qualifying practice in whenever you can get it.
2. --- Trying to beat out Brian France and Scott Wimmer on NASCAR’s list of zaniest off the track wrecks.
3. --- Darned paparazzi, can’t outrun them even on an off weekend.
4. --- No restrictor plate on the car. Even Mikey knows he can’t drive worth a lick if there’s no restrictor plate.
5. --- With his failure to make races, Toyota officials have told him he has do something to earn the money they’re paying him, even if it means being a crash test dummy on their street cars.
6. --- DW was in the passenger seat trying to take the wheel. You know how bad he wants to drive Mikey’s dream machine.
7. --- Since the TV cameras haven’t been looking for him as much at the race track, figured it was a good way to get some face time on the tube.
8. --- Obviously the problem was Goodyear didn't bring a good tire.
9. --- If off road racing made Jimmie Johnson a Nextel Cup champion, Mikey figured it couldn’t hurt to try it.
10. --- Totally missed the setup.
