NASCAR Needs Our Help... Quickly

Folks, I just got the most unusual e-mail I thought I'd share here:

Dear Dave:

I got your name and e-mail address from a list maintained at NASCAR Spy Headquarters in Charlotte of individuals who have been known to comment on and have opinions about NASCAR racing.

I am the individual at NASCAR in charge of determining the dollar amount my boss, who works for Brian France, wants to collect when he determines that a driver has done something "detrimental to stock car racing" like making a comment about our cars, races, officials or competition level.

I just got a call from Robin Pemberton in Las Vegas. He had just gotten a call from Brian France who had just gotten a call from his sister, Lesa.

Lesa was watching the ESPN pre-race show before today's Las Vegas Nationwide race when she saw the "This is Sports Center" promotional spot featuring Kevin Harvick that has been running since last year. Lesa wanted to know if Kevin had been fined by NASCAR for pretending on national television that he was peeing in his NASCAR fire suit? He was wearing the firesuit and not Delana at the time the promo was filmed because Delana was pregnant and couldn't fit in her suit.

Once I got word back to Lesa that we had forgotten to fine Kevin for his "denigrating" act that was "detrimental" to NASCAR and stock car racing, she got word back to me that instead of spinning my big "Wheel of Fortune" wheel to determine the amount of Kevin's fine, she wanted "the new NASCAR" to involve the fans and let them help decide how much Kevin should pay up.

According to Lesa, our NASCAR spies have identified a number of individuals you have been known to associate with at that Stock Car RacersReunion site who also don't mind sharing their opinions.

Lesa is hoping that you and the rest of that opinionated group of stock car racing experts will help NASCAR determine how much to fine Kevin Harvick. Speed is of the essence Lesa says. She wants to be sure NASCAR has fined Kevin before Denny Hamlin's recent fine comes up for appeal before our National Commissioner and his panel of appointed folk.

There, in a nutshell, is what we need. If you and all your acquaintances at Stock Car RacersReunion will simply watch the 30 second ESPN/Kevin Harvick spot and vote on how much to fine Kevin, then NASCAR will be most appreciative and can issue a news release that we are continuing to involve our fans.

Lesa figures since Kevin is leaving RCR shortly, that Richard Childress may not stand behind Kevin and fight NASCAR like Joe Gibbs stood behind Denny Hamlin. At least that is what she hopes. She'd just like Brian and Robin to quickly collect the money and get it deposited.

Just please average the amount suggested by your members and forward it to me here at NASCAR Fine Headquarters. Please don't share our e-mail address or the folks over at NASCAR Spy Headquarters will give me a real ration. I am posting the denigrating, detrimental video below.

Thanks for all of your assistance.

Your New Friend at NASCAR.

And there you have it folks. If you can get back to me quickly with the amount you think Kevin should be fined, I'll pass the collective average on to NASCAR. As fans, I think we should appreciate NASCAR soliciting our opinion.

dont know what to make of this but i thank you for sharing it with us

LOL Nascar should pay him LOL LOL

I think it "Depends" on how good he is at holding it in, or whether Delana will let him know when to go.. If he does it in his firesuit then thats punishment enough, Jmho....

Fifty Cents would seem appropriate to me. Or is that simply 50 Cent?

Thanks for posting the video. At least there are two videos on Tim Richmond listed at the end.Hey Spy, BZF was heard from on the phone, but not seen in person?

Oh yes, "Pee on the Fine" too!
