FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Boogertown, North Carolina)
Recently T.B. Dee, driver of the 52 Pickup Racing Monday Cigarettes race car, sat down for an interview with legendary racing journalist Arthur Mills in Mills’ assisted living facility. Here’s an excerpt from that interview:
Arthur Mills: “Hello, B.T., and welcome to my house, I’m glad you stopped by.”
T.B. Dee: “Thank you, its an honor to be interviewed by such a legend as yourself. Oh, and its T.B.”
AM: “Well, tell me a little about yourself. How’d you get started?”
TB: “Oh, the usual way. Go-karts led to late models, which led to a run in some local series—the Southern United Challenger Kings Series and the Birmingham-Leeds Outlaw World Series.
I think it was what I showed I could do in the SUCKS and BLOWS that got the team’s attention.”
AM: “Say, do you know Darrell Waltrip, G.T.?”
TB: “Uh, not really. I think I met him once. And its T.B.”
AM: “That guy still owes me $20!”
TB: “That’s, uh, that’s too bad, Mr. Mills. Anything you’d like to know about me, like the race team, the fifty-two co-owners, the sponsors…”
AM: “—say, remember that guy with the hair and the sunglasses?”
TB: “Um, what?”
AM: “You know, Z.T.—the guy in victory lane, they called him The Hat Man, I think.”
TB: “Uh, yeah, I mean I’ve heard of him. And its T.B., please.”
AM: “He was a great guy. Drove me home after a race at Rockingham once, heck of a nice car, too.”
TB: “Alriiiiiight. Look, is there anything you want to ask me about racing today?”
AM: “There’s a race today?”
TB: “No, there isn’t. I mean racing in the modern age, you know, in 2021.”
AM: “21? You know who should’ve gotten a better chance in the 21 car? Dan Gurney. Wish he’d stayed in NASCAR, he was a great talent, P.C.”
TB: “AGAIN, it’s T.B. TEE-BEE. That’s my name. Oh, good, the door.”
Nurse: “OK, Arthur, 5pm, time for bed.”
AM: “Oh, but I was learning all about my new friend C.D.!”
QUOTES: “It was great to be interviewed by such a legend in his field, but I wish I didn’t have to eat so much caramel candy to keep him happy.” —T.B. Dee, driver of the 52 Pickup Racing Monday Cigarettes race car.
“Arthur Mills—didn’t he get beat up by Sandra McKee a few decades back?” —Jess Doyle, co-owner of 52 Pickup Racing.
