One night at Chico Craig Dillard ran off T-3 and flipped it out in the "North 40." Bobby Gerould was the infield announcer. When he got over to Craig he talked with him over the track speakers and asked him what happened. Craig said, "I stepped on my pecker I guess." The crowd loved it!

I was there that night and I will never forget that one. Funnier than hell.........

The year was 1979.
Sir Jackie Stewart was offered a ride in a sprint car to which he replied "I forgot my helmet back at the hotel"
A helmet was supplied to him and his reply was "I left me balls there too".
From an interview with the great Chris Economaki....

I think you have to have a sense of humor to do something as crazy as driving a sprint car....
Keep 'em coming....

One night at Jackson speedway, Roger Rager had a rough night. After the races one of the officials asked him what happened to him that night. Roger pretended to unzip his pants, acted like he was unrolling his private and proceded to stomp the dirt. Funniest damn thing I seen lol.....
when the green flag drops, the bullshit stops!

CAn't remember the driver, but I read a story from Jack Miller talking about the 1st night he had a wireless microphone and how excited be was...sure enough somebody flipped, Jack met him as he got out of the car, stuck the mic in his face and said WHAT HAPPENED OUT THERE... the driver very quickly said for the whole crowd to hear "I wrecked the F-in thing"
|
I remember Jack telling that story too. Awesome!

Doug Wolfgang once wrecked and the announcer asked what happened. Doug replied" it was just driver error". The surprised announcer then asks, " so you are saying it was your fault". And in typical Wolfgang fashion says "Well, I was driving the son of a bitch"!
