If so, Jennifer Jo Cobb...
DOH! Thanks for the correction. One hazard of many of copying/pasting. I posted it wrong on one message board. Then I c/p about 4 more places. At least I'm glad I got it correct where it mattered.

Looks like the guy in the rocking chair and checkerboard flannel may be separated at birth from Too Slim of Riders in the Sky:
The soon to be King won his 21st career win by taking the checkers at Old Dominion Speedway. And it was also one of his rare victories in a car numbered something other than 43.

Fantastic! But attempting a jump like that makes me think his name should be Jimmy DOOFUS! And what was with Mike Adamle's post-jump voice jumping about 3 octaves (around 6 minute mark). You'd think HE was the one who made the jump.
Very cool shot! But good grief - is that Crazy Horse and his warriors on the ridge and Custer's femur in the foreground?
