Metzger Wants NASCAR Ride

Mike Metzger, "The Godfather" of freestyle motocross who achieved cult status by cutting back flips and breaking all manner of bones in X-Games competition, is actively pursuing opportunities in NASCAR, he said Saturday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.


Metzger was in the garage area Saturday rubbing elbows with NASCAR's finest, and introducing himself to prospective team owners. No question, he's anxious to join fellow motocross star Ricky Carmichael in stock cars.


Metzger said he'd bantered with several teams, and that many are intrigued at the prospect of his coming to NASCAR. If he were to make the jump it would be substantial, and like Carmichael he'd have to start small and work his way up.

I think Bobby Flay wants to prove that chefs can drive.

Re: Metzger Wants NASCAR Ride

Wait a minute, we need a female rep here. Whatever happened to Janet Guthry, or Guthrie or whatever her name was/is? She could actually drive, but she's gotta be way older than dirt, now. Danica says she's not interested, but I'll bet the other drivers would get a kick out of her temper tantrums and you boys would all have a new favorite driver. Katherine Legge, is that her name? Now that girl can take a 200 mph hit, that's for sure. Perhaps Rachel Ray instead of Bobby Flay. The Evernham chick is out of it because she could never drive in the first place. Is "Cha Cha" still alive? Or better yet, my vote goes to Ashley Force. She's got a heck of a lot more seat time in a car than Metzger does. But I'm not sure the rest of the field could handle getting their butts handed to 'em by some sweet you thing. I think we'll have a woman president before we have a viable female NASCAR driver!

I was gonna mention Rachel Ray. But I sorta bring her up alot. As for Danica: Does anyone want me to drag that thread up again? I'm more than happy to.

Let's see,
  • Janet Guthrie: too old, would need car fitted to carry walker
  • Danica: isn't that a yogurt?
  • Katherine Legge: a crash and burn artist, lots of them in NA$CAR already
  • Rachel Ray: do they make seats that big? would have to give up snacks every 5 minutes
  • Erin (Betty) Crocker (Everham): never passed her driving test
  • "Cha-Cha" Muldowney: she's even older than Guthrie, has street racing experience
  • Ashley Force: lacks hi speed left turn experience, needs to build up endurance (1/4 mile, 1 lap races aren't enough), her Dad's a NA$CAR fan and has required $$$ available...
looks like Ashley is the best candidate at the moment...
