NASCAR news! Hooray!
Dale Earnhardt Jr unveiled his new 88 car yesterday, revealing for the first time that the sponsor replacing his iconic Budweiser #8 car will be… Amp. Which is an energy drink, I suppose. Pardon me while I dismiss this with an air-wanking motion.
Nevertheless, this is a big fucking deal for people who like to watch cars go in circles for four hours. FanHaus even live-blogged the hour and a half announcement, which on the scale of good uses of time has to rank somewhere between watching a Season 2 DVD of According to Jim and explaining to an Entourage fan why Entourage is unfunny garbage. I guess FanHaus just lets anybody write anything.

Prediction: Someone will have to do that before this thread is over.
I like racing so much I almost fell asleep reading this story.
and someone will probably have to teach me how to properly use italics.
Whenever I read the words "According to Jim" there are thunderclaps and then David Cross miraculously shows up and punches me in the face; which is infinitely more enjoyable than actually watching "According to Jim"
Nice of him to pick 88 as his new number — that way all his redneck fans just have to get another 8 tattooed next to the old one. Hopefully they have room on the back window of their pickup trucks between the old 8 and the Calvin peeing decal.
Two seconds after this picture was taken, a bird took a shit on the hood. Happens every time.
Is he going to keep losing?
Lets see if the extra 8 helps Junior achieve "VICTORY!" a little more consistantly now. Yea, FU I like it.
@ChrisP: Anything else you'd like to take from todays Debriefing?
What's wrong with Entourage? Everything you say? I agree.
everyone who has posted so far: +1 i'm really enjoying this.
Except you Tim, usually i'm a fan of your work, but for having some knowledge of NASCAR (ie knowing who wins/loses) you get nothing. not that you care. or i care. or she cares. where am i?
There needs to be product sponsors in NASCAR that NASCAR fans could actually use like: Listerine Mouthwash, Axe Body Spray, or Trojan Condoms.
Bob Ross (hearts) all the happy little decals.
@ TEXAS:
But they already have Jack Daniels on a car….what more could they ask for?
Did you know RACECAR spelled backwards is RACECAR?
I'll root for NASCAR when someone drives a car numbered 69 and is sponsored by Swank magazine.
Hmm…I always wondered what a cheap energy drink mixed with moonshine tasted like. Probably alot like his last sponsor.
@Hero
I think Texas was trying to help promote rednecks NOT reproducing, instead of getting drunk on the ole' Tennessee and making 3 eyed children.
Those stupid freakin rednecks left out the 'e' on the "Impale Ass" logo on the nose of the car.
I heard Sudafed was wanting its name on the car, but I guess if your fan base is less likely to buy you product than it is to steal it and use it to make meth, then it doesn't makes sense to spend all that money on the ad space.
The Amp car is being disrobed by four people at once for the world to see.
Slut.
Sorry. FIVE people.
I count about as well as the average Nascar fan.
That's called the Paris Hilton Ratio.
Yes, cant see, dude, dude, dude.
But will he have the same parking spot in Bristol?
Pardon me while I dismiss this with an air-wanking motion.
Once again, Matt reads my mind. GET OUT OF MY HEAD MATT!
So, how about that Jeremy Piven winning his second consecutive Emmy?
WDYA – you don't do it all slow and shit, making eye contact.
It's just real quick and then you let it go.
NO! DUDE! YOU NEVER CROSS SWORDS!
I'm telling the boss.
well, better than another soccer post i guess.
Joker – One of the best videos ever posted.
According to Jim, blowing your own load in your mouth is a great source of protein.
Jim who? Kirk? Saville? Bowen?
WDYA – Absolutely, wholeheartedly in agreement.
