Here...hold my beer!
Man, these Asscar Fans are a little too "into it" ya think?
 Link: Electrocuted at Talladega TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) - Two NASCAR fans were electrocuted in a campground outside Talladega Superspeedway when a flagpole they were erecting touched power lines. Donny Lynn Wright, 42, of Remlap and Keith Alan Stell, 39, of Birmingham died Monday, said track spokeswoman Kristi King. Talladega County Coroner Jerry Castleberry pronounced them dead at the scene. The Aaron's 499 race will be run at the track on Sunday. Fans commonly use poles to fly flags touting their favorite driver. Witnesses said Wright and Stell were attempting to anchor a flagpole when it was caught by wind and pushed into power lines running along a road outside the track. "They were trying to pull the flagpole back off the lines," said James Snider, who was sitting about 30 yards away from the victims' camp site. "I heard a loud pop that sounded like a firecracker, and I went running because the power lines fell. They were both lying on the ground, and two women were trying to get to them to get them away from the wires."

I see nothing about alcohol in the in the story. All I see is poor judgment about their surrounds that cost two men there lives. Racing is very important here in the South and flagpoles are part of the tradition. We don’t all live in trailers, but that all they show when the tornados hit. There are also a lot of funny jokes about Bubba and drinking, but we are not all drunks, barefoot and stupid. I would say we pray for the families in there time of lose.
