Today I learned there was apparently a wienermobile race back in May 2005. Can't actually find news of it, just references so I may be full of it...

TIL some mad lad took a Ducati v-twin and converted it to a V8 using the original crankshaft. Tons of monkey motion going on.

May 25, 2005. Charlotte Motor Speedway. After winning the race, Kurt Busch made what may have been the greatest podium statement of all time:

I've had those kind of races in the past too. Can't remember a car being involved.

Wait, when I was a teenager at the drive-in theater?
