Juan Pablo Montoya Runs Into Superdome Power Transformer


AGAIN Fox doesn't have the shot

Electricity to half of the Superdome was knocked out during tonight's Super Bowl, as Nascar driver Juan Pablo Montoya's Chevy SS slammed into an external power transformer early in the third quarter.
"I can't believe this is happening again" Montoya was heard yelling over his in-car radio.  "This is the LAST TIME I do a promotional appearance for Target in the middle of a city street--what is this, Driven?"
Montoya, arguably best-known for having run into a jet-dryer while under caution in last season's Daytona 500, was shaken up but unharmed in the wreck.
"You know, rear end failure isn't just something that happens to Tony Stewart in his firesuit at Watkins Glen--its a serious problem", Montoya continued.  "The next time I feel the slightest vibration, I'll do what Joe Nemechek does and pull right into the garage."
"The guy, he ran right into the, uh, transformer box", NFL on CBS commentator Shannon Sharpe said on the telecast.  "The guy, um, I think he's Spanish, he's one of those, those racing guys, he's got the bullseye on HIS car, but it, uh, ran right into the target!"
"We're obviously very sorry that one of our drivers has brought irrevocable damage to one of the nation's premiere events", Nascar President Mike Helton said.  "However, we feel that with a lot of work, a lot of time, and a little luck, we can all recover from Danica's Super Bowl commercial."
