NASCAR To Ditch Tracks For "Dragster Wheels"

DAYTONA, Fla. (CAP) - Citing safety concerns, NASCAR officials have announced that they will be dropping their "endlessly go around in a circle on a track" model for an "endlessly go around in a circle in a hamster wheel" one.

"Essentially we'll set up several dozen large 'Dragster Wheels' along the surface of existing race tracks," NASCAR spokesman Billy Bob Barnes told CAP news. "Each car will be assigned to and set in a specific wheel, and the first one to reach the set number of rotations wins the race."

NASCAR is quick to point out a number of plusses that this new racing format will provide.

In addition to increased safety for drivers, drunk fans will now be able to mingle along the track and get within feet of their idols. Energy generated by the rotating wheels will also be used to power the performance of whatever country act of the day is playing on the infield.

Drivers and fans alike are mixed in their feelings about this new format.

"About all I'll have to do is stomp on the gas and keep it to the floor," said driver Chester Daniels. "Where's the gosh durn skill in that?"

"Oh, it's gonna be cool," said NASCAR Dad Jed Miller. "You can get so close to the drivers - I'm just looking forward to pissing on Jeff Gordon's tire. Yee haw!"

Dragster Wheels are set to debut at the start of the next NASCAR season.

NBA star Jason Collins has come out and publicly announced that he is black and has been his entire life, shocking teammates who "thought he just tanned really well." Said one friend, "There was always speculation, but after he appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated, we knew for sure." «» With the first overall pick in the NFL draft, the Kansas City Chiefs have selected ACC referee Ron Cherry, a move expected to bolster a team whose only hope of winning this year is to have their own referee on payroll. "I wish we thought of that," noted the Jaguars. «» Rutgers basketball coach Mike Rice, fired for abusing his players, has been offered a job coaching Penn State. "As long as the kids keep their clothes on, then we're a step ahead of where we usually are," said AD Dave Joyner. "Besides, I want him on my intramural dodgeball team." «» The AFL's Orlando Predators have offered Tim Tebow a 15-year contract, saying head injuries and longevity are no concern for a man who never takes a snap. "We don't need him to actually play," said owner Brett Bouchy. "We just want him there to keep our quarterback on his toes." «» Kobe Bryant has decided not to divorce his wife Vanessa, citing "irreconcilable dollar amounts." The Lakers star said he would have to produce two or three new sex tapes per year just to afford the alimony, which would then make his gratuitous sexual trysts "seem way too much like work." «» With the White House under fire from numerous directions, press secretary Jay Carney dropped his usual demeanor to tell reporters to "fucking back the fuck off" and that he was "sick of answering dumb-ass questions." He then threatened to have the IRS "personally audit every single one of you fucks." «» Parental advisory groups are up in arms over the naming of the new One Direction sports drink, simply called OD.

"Have You OD'ed Today? isn't exactly the message we should be sending children." «» Researchers at Johns Hopkins University say they have isolated the hormone Honkytonkin, found predominantly in white males from Southern states. The protein is one of a new group of complex redneck carbohydrates similar genetically to white trash peptides and has the same molecular structure as cheap beer. «» Disney has crowned its newest official princess, a somewhat short and stocky stringy-haired character named Frumpy Fran. "The life and accomplishments of all the other princesses are way too unachievable for little girls," said a spokesperson. "Fran is basically the princess from the projects, which more girls can relate to." «» U.S. logging industry officials say these days, loggers are chopping down trees "just because" it's all they know how to do.
