SOME DONT KNOW WHEN THEY HAVE IT MADE

In racing you should know when you got it made whether you are active or retired. Kyle Bush goofs up big time first by flying low in a school zone. Then he goes off on the track.... Then his brother blows it by using unauthorized hand signals then goes verbal on Dr Punch... Al Unser Jr gets a DUI in 2007and gets his wrist slapped, now he gets popped again for racing on city streets A N D DUI again.... now his first DUI is brought back alive by the corts and added to the present one...... Now he is off to court to see the person in the Robe in New Mexico courts-----wonder how this will be plead. Maybe Brian can give him some pointers

Or do you have other ideas??????

Man thats bad i hope he gets going on the right path

Itseems that for some people.....

if you keep giving them money...

They use it to buy more rope!!

Do Judges actually wear Robes in New Mexico??? Who knew?

My wife currently has a sister in ICU on a ventilator in Greenville, NC. Liver gone, kidneys gone. Whole body gone. All systems shutting down. Alcohol abuse. We made the roundtrip drive from CharlotteMonday for what we expect to be the final visit. Not a pretty sight. My wife expects to next see her at the funeral. One year we were allowed to visit one of our daughters for thirty minutes at noon on Christmas Day at the detox unit of a Charlotte hospital. I can relate.

have a close personal freind w severe drinking problem..till he wants to deal w it himself- ya can hound them all you want...its ultimately up to them in the end..just have to hope its not a fatal end...

January 1 was the anniversary of the passing of two great songwriters: Hank Williams Sr. and Townes Van Zandt. Both had such incredible talent - yet were so tied-in to their addictions that it led to their early demise.

congrats on your sucees jim..my freind actually drove his vehicle through a telephone pole-then into the livingroom of a house ( lucky no one home ) then walked away..sadly the cops didnt find him till next day - so no dui charges..but even after that incident-he still refuses to quit...so sadly he just may end up as another statistic..wont listen to friends/parents..hope he sees the light before its too late

Jim, May 19 will mark 13 years for me without a drink. I never preach about it, but I know what it can do. For 5 years after my last drink I kept two Budweiser longnecks in the fridge as a reminder. I did things and made promises I'd never have made. If I'd had a few drinks, I could get you all the race tix and pit passes and sponsorships you wanted. By the way, I NEVER drank alone and I never drank at home, always in bars and at dances and at racing related events. For me, there was no such thing as 1 drink. I drank until I was obnoxious and often picked fights.

One of my "duties" with the Wrangler racing program was to be certain no media member EVER paid for a drink. Heck, other sponsors, crew members and car owners started hanging around me for the free booze and meals. Richard Childress always looked around a bar when he walked in. If he saw me, he hollared in a loud voice, "When Dave Fulton drinks, everybody drinks!"

Richard hollaring that phrase seemed funny at the time. Then, over the years he started hollaring it at me on pit road and in the garage. It had long ago stopped being funny, but RC never let up and I quit speaking to him many years ago. He's a millionnaire and I'm not. But he has to get someone else to buy his free drinks these days.

Awesome message, Dave. As usual. Great job on all fronts!
