Gentlemen, this is the enemy (no, not Doc)
Have you ever watched Nascar's worst and dimmest peel off the banking after a few laps and thought, "Hey, ANYBODY can do that!" Well, here's your chance, with The Spade Racing Start and Park Fantasy Camp! We here at Spade Racing have partnered with some of the finest field fillers that the sport has to offer to bring you a weekend of action-packed, fiscally-responsible, pride-crushing fun!
Here's what you'll need:
--Nascar license (forged CDL ok).
--Firesuit, preferably embroidered with a sponsor that no longer exists.
--Racing helmet that looks like it came from 1992.
--Check for $5,000 made out to Spade Racing Industries.
