"When I contacted the people at LA Racing, they said as long as Edna has a valid driver's license and she's an active driver, then they are basically waiting for her with revved engines and open arms," Weiman said.

That deserves the img1.fark.net tag

To be fair, they did place an Old Country Buffet in the middle, she was just looking for the entrance.

So has that deal for Mark Martin to drive part time for Stewart Hasse next year gone through yet?

Judging by those wrinkles around the cheek/jaw area, I would suspect she smoked quite a bit.

Apparently I missed a thread. Oh well. Progeria: Nature's cruelest joke.

Oh, I get it. Mark Martin is old.

Does that mean Jeff Gordon should be looking over his shoulder if Elton John ever takes a lap?

I would wager that Elton John has taken many a lap in his day.

NASCAR is boring unless you're a 92 year old woman.

She had her turn signal on the entire time.

Good thing she only had to turn left since the blinker was on anyway .

Of course, it was the right turn signal indicator.

my wife and i went to mark martin's retirement party in batesville, arkansas.

in 2005.

that was 6.5 years ago.

i feel betrayed.

if you want to race until you're 100, go ahead mark. but don't lie and act like you're retiring.

It wasn't so much lying as it was just circumstances changing. His son Matt was looking like he would be pursuing a racing career and Mark wanted to spend his retirement supporting that. When Matt changed his mind and stopped racing Mark decided that driving a Hendrick car was loads better than sitting at home watching The Price is Right.
