Is there a reason Chocolate Meyers got famous?

I'm curious because I was reading that he apparently signed autographs for fans back in the day (1990's. Pre-Sirius/XM Talk Show), and that just seemed kind of strange to me.

he was basically pit road's version of the victory lane hat guy

e- oh yeah and his dad and uncle died racing in NASCAR

his opinions on NASCAR are pretty terrible.

Like take any of the terrible opinions we've had here and in any other thread related to auto racing? They'd still be better than his.

It feels like every move NASCAR has made in reaction to the way cars have been designed has been because of that.

Which sucks because it feels like all they really needed to do was mandate the hans device and a few other things really.

Throw Richard Petty under the bus by dragging him out in front of the cameras. Then go on a full-fledged media assault just before the funeral to sway opinions. Like it's nothing but just a day at the office.

That's some Frank Underwood-level cold-blooded bullshit right there. :psyboom:

I didn't know NHL player Jason Williams was a NASCAR driver.

Or the football player.

Or are they referring to the basketball player and just misspelled his name?

It looks like there was an update after you posted this. They'll sponsor Sorenson for the 500 but will return to TBR for the other three plate races so there's hope... if Bowman is what you can call hope.
