Full Throttle

As expected it was an inside job.

The brain dead criminal who pilferred Dale Earnhardt’s driving unform from Texas Motor Speedway has had an epiphany and returned it via his lawyer.

The as yet un-named perp is (or was) a part-time security guard at the track.

“This fire suit means a great deal to me because Dale and I had been good friends since early in both of our careers,” speedway president Eddie Gossage said in a statement. “This uniform is such an icon to our sport and Dale’s great accomplishments, similar to one of Elvis jumpsuits.”

Yea, ok… then maybe better care will be taken with its safe storage. Being boxed up and stored in an easily jimmied locked closet for something worth an estimated $50,000 to $100,000 is an invitation for every thief within easy reach of it. Lesson learned I hope.

HEY YOU, yea I talking to you. A little more than 24 hours remain to cast your vote for Full Throttle. Polls close at mid-night EST on the 15^th. If you have voted, thank you.
