The twelve NASCAR drivers in the Chase for the Championship appeared on David Letterman Wednesday night.
The twelve contenders in the Chase for the Championship made a special appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman Wednesday as they read off the top twelve, which is normally the top ten, reasons whey they love NASCAR.
If you were unable to stay up to midnight and watch the show, you missed a few clever one-liners. However, Letterman seemed to have cared less that NASCAR's top drivers were in his studio. Letterman typically has a sarcastic sense of humor, so maybe that was it. But back in February, when Daytona 500 winner Kevin Harvick made an appearance on the show, he could not even pronounce Clint Bowyer's last name correctly when they were discussing Bowyer's upside finish in the Daytona 500.
Anyway, in case you missed it, here are what the drivers had to say.
Clint Bowyer: "We've got special mirrors that show objects the size that they actually are."
Kevin Harvick: "Sometimes, back in the garages, there's horseplay with the air hose."
Jeff Burton: "Between the G-forces and the fumes, I'm loopy most of the season."
Kyle Busch: "Switch the R and C in racing and you get caring."
Matt Kenseth: "Can hold 8 gigs of music on my new ihelmet."
Martin Truex Jr: "In a pinch, checkered flags make a lovely tablecloth."
Denny Hamlin: "Two more wins and I get to marry Ashley Judd."
Kurt Busch: "You can talk to your car and pretend you are David Hasselhoff."
Carl Edwards: "How many people can say that their office goes 200 miles per hour."
Tony Stewart: "Driving fast and starting fights."
Jeff Gordon: "It's not one of those sports where you have to inject stuff in your ass to be good."
Jimmie Johnson: "Unlike most guys, I like it when my wife says 'you're too fast'."
