Okay, so we'll admit we don't often sit around and watch NASCAR in our spare time, but that doesn't mean we don't respect the men who drive those tin cans at over 200 mph, trusting their lives not only to their own skill, but to the other drivers on the course, and a bunch of grease-monkeys whose only goal is to make them move faster.
And the guy we admire the most is Bobby Allison. #12 was the engine that ran on High Life, and, not surprisingly, was pretty successful at that. 3rd on the all-time wins list, Allison won the Daytona 500 - NASCAR's premier event - four times, and won the season championship in 1983.
While we don't condone drinking High Life ever when driving, we do condone it all times when driving is not necessary. So does Mr. Allison. Cheers to him.
Allison has also promoted railroad safety for CSX. When I start my "Heroes of Rail Safety" blog I will put a link to this entry.
