The Governor's Wheels

North Carolina held the inauguration parade in Raleigh Saturday for new Governor Pat McCrory. One of his predecessors, Mike Easley, took great delight in wheeling Jimmie Johnson's #48 Lowe's Chevy around Charlotte Motor Speedway until he turned it into the wall and crashed it one fine afternoon.

McCrory made a better selection for his wheels, picking the car model that was the first to win consecutive Southern 500s at Darlington and carried such storied drivers as Buck Baker and Fireball Roberts to numerous wins.

Maybe if Jeff Gilder moseys over to the Governor's Mansion while he's in Raleigh this weekend for the Piedmont Racing Expo, the good Gov. might let him take a spin in that red 1957 Chevy BelAir convertible around the Raleigh Fairgrounds dirt layout!

Love your waiting ! ! !

You saying you need a couple of those dainty white hanky's with lace all around the edge to dabble your drooling so as it wont soil your upper torso.. Ha
