Smack: Wing and a prayer (cont'd)

Dave Rodman: But hey -- back to habits. I shouldn't confess this, but I wish Biff used a jet pack instead of a helicopter.

Raygan Swan: Huh?

Dave Rodman: Sorry, I like working with the guy and I have bad memories of Davey Allison.

Joe Menzer: Besides, I'm not sure a jet pack is safer than a helicopter.

Dave Rodman: But in talking to him about it, you can easily tell the thrill and challenge of piloting that chopper is a big deal for someone like a race driver.

Raygan Swan: OK, here's another: JPM, please get that man a fire suit that fits his backside! He looks like a Teletubby in that thing! Chip, get him a size that fits, the female fans want to see the goods. Trust me!

Dave Rodman: I hear there is a certain amount of snickering in the F1 ranks over Juan's current girth. I thought he looked a little, uh, portly when he scrambled out to defend himself at The Glen -- and when I was told that, I flashed back to him at the pot of spaghetti in his coach on TV at Michigan! But hey, if he was a pocket A.J. [Foyt] you could have worse bad habits, no?

Joe Menzer: Oh, man. I forgot about my Spencer lines. You want me to throw a few out there?

Dave Rodman: And the worst bad habit of all -- golf carts! They should be banned from all racetracks.

Raygan Swan: Why?

Dave Rodman: Idiot drivers, I guess.

Raygan Swan: Yeah, they think they're pretty cool on their carts.

Dave Rodman: Unlike cigarettes, which do kill people, golf carts don't, but the drivers have certainly come close on innumerable occasions.

Joe Menzer: Well, my favorite driver back in the day was Jimmy Spencer. His only bad habit that I can recall was punching Kurt Busch in the face after a race.

Dave Rodman: Joe, if you're going to go there, Kurt used to have a bad habit of acting like a brazen fool, but thank God he's long over that.

Joe Menzer: But I do have a beef with ol' Jimmy. What has he done with his hair since getting into broadcasting?

Raygan Swan: Whatever happened to Spencer's hair happened to Kenseth's as well.

Dave Rodman: Gotten it trimmed, probably.

Raygan Swan: Dave, you and I should wear Heelys -- or whatever those shoes the kids wear with the wheels on the bottom. Joe, your kids have them, right?

Joe Menzer: Nope. But lots of their friends do. They look like fun, but until they ask, I'm not bringing up getting 'em.

Dave Rodman: Now, those are made for Morgan Shepherd. Was nice to see Tony give Morgan props on Saturday at Michigan, even though ol' Morgan was trying to steal his car!
