The Worst Possible Time To Spin During A Race
The Worst Possible Time To Spin During A Race-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:35

There’s no bigger code brown than spinning at the front of a huge pack of cars, inadvertently becoming a manned island that you hope people don’t hit—especially if you’re just around a corner.

If McMurray was wearing underwear, he probably needed a fresh pair after that.
