Question

Who won the POLE for the first ever Brickyard 400? Not the race winner, the pole winner. Maybe this isn't as hard as I think, but it could be fun. Thanks.

Answer 1

not only did rick mast win it, but then he went in and "redneck'ed" the press conference afterwards by talking about how he started out trading a cow for his first race car. they were talking about that on one of the espn "background at indy" segments on "nascar now." i thought it was hilarious.

;-)

but not near as funny as the following exchange from the press who were not too happy about "good ol' boys" invading the hallowed brickyard:

---------

""How did you get the money?" she asked.

"Well, I had a cow," he explained, "and I traded my cow for my first racecar."

"What was the cow's name?" she asked.

Mast looked at her and smiled just a little. She had stepped over the last log on the way to the fireplace and didn't know it. "Madam, where I come from cows don't have names until about 2 o'clock in the morning."
