Whew! That was close.......but the winning driver HAD the flu, and just in the nick of time to save the day.With turbulent timesengulfing NASCAR-land and the traditionalmedia it's such a relief thatthe one quintessentialhallmark of a NASCAR journalist has not been lost............the winner of any N-CAR eventHAS to be suffering from the flu, or be on Intravenous fluids (via the infield care center), or distracted bysome family tragedy (regardless of genetic distance)ornursinga broken limb suffered in some "pick-up" basketball game/golf cart race (at the "shop") . Apparently it's in the N-CAR rule book.............."The winner must be the victim of a host of travils, none that he can control......but all must be OVERCOME toultimately attain victory lane" ANDsuch travialia must beduely documeted by all credential toting journalists................"
The "Bud Demo Derby" can nowsuccessfully be chronicled into the archieves. All is perfect. The winner had the flu. And he "overcame" it...........after taking IV's at the infield care center.What a comfort knowing the sky has not totally fallen..... yet!.
