A good friend of mine that attends the Chili Bowl with me each year that is from California, takes the National Anthem VERY serious as I am to, but he is VERY, VERY serious. To the point of telling someone to shut up or take off their hat if needed.
Well, he is, er was a HUGE fan of the 2005 Chili Bowl winner and always wore a hat of his celebrating a USAC Championship (except for the anthem of course!!!). And as most of you know who have attended the Chili Bowl know, the previous winner of the Chili Bowl rides in the back of the pace truck with the Hooters girls carrying the flag while the anthem is being played. Well, that particular year, his favorite driver was riding around the track while the anthem was playing, just living it up and BSing with the Hooters girls... problem was, he was on camera and on the jumbotron while it was happening. My buddy FREAKED! He proclaimed that he would NEVER cheer for that driver again for his disrespectful behavior and would not wear the hat again. Matter of fact, that hat is laying on I-40 somewhere between Tulsa and California!!! LMAO!!!
I still kid him to this day every time that driver hits the track, asking him if that's his pick for that race. LMAO!!!!
OK - we are all dying to know who that driver was!! LOL
