Dale Jr. Will be Heartbroken!
It’s a story as old as the hills. A guy/gal starts at the bottom, they work their way to the top and promptly become the target for those that desire to see them slide back down the same hill they scaled on the way up.
The Junior Earnhardt must be looking down that hill about now.
After being hailed (by popular vote, bandwidth busting emails and legions of 20 somethings of the female persuasion) as The Heart Throb of NASCAR Dale Jr. has been the victim of a Palace Coup orchestrated by the EXTRA Bachelor television series.<div style=”clear:both;”
Junior is out and Carl Edwards is in as one of the nation’s top 20 bachelors. “I had a blast shooting this special for EXTRA,” stated Edwards. “It’s flattering to be considered a top-bachelor, especially when you look at the list of guys they’ve selected.”
Sorry Junior you’re not on the list, hope the ride down is as smooth as the ride to the top. (Damn, I knew passing up the high school gymnastics team was a mistake. Now it’s painfully late to learn the backflip maneuver, emphasis in “painfully”)
Moving from thefts of the heart to thefts of the grand and felonious type, Matt Kenseth’s crew and Roush-Fenway Racing also suffered a theft this week.
Sometime in the early morning hours Wednesday Kenseth’s Sheetrock Ford Fusion show car along with the transporter, both tractor and trailer, were stolen from a Hampton Inn parking lot in Atlanta.
The truck and trailer were later found abandoned and vandalized on the side of a road in the Atlanta area. The #17 is still MIA.
The Half-Vast Staff™ of Full Throttle can unequivocally state any rumors alleging Kevin Harvick was involved as part of a three year old payback scheme are false. Also not on the suspects list is Jeff Gordon although he had a valid reason to make the #17 “disappear” last March at Bristol.
Holstein Association USA has responded to the “crisis” and will distribute milk cartons with a backpanel image of the MIA #17 Sheetrock Ford Fusion (”Have you seen this rolling billboard?”) at Richmond this weekend.
On a more serious note, (you mean you weren’t serious?) anyone sighting the MIA Roush-Fenway Ford can contact the Auto Theft Unit of the Dekalb County Sheriff Office (ph 770-724-7650).
