celebrate good times...come on!

With Carl Edwards’ win on Sunday and his usual back flip celebration it got us thinking of new ways drivers can celebrate. No more boring burnouts. No more snow angels. As much as we love the polish victory lap, it’s time to move on. And it’s not safe for everyone to climb the fence. So here’s a couple of our suggestions:

1. Synchronized dancing…on the track. Think prisoners in the Philippines times ten. Maybe you can hand over your music before the race so everyone in the crowd can enjoy the full effect. Oh and if they could rip off their flame retardant jump suits and reveal a more appropriate dancing outfit underneath, we’d really love that! Think Clark Kent turning into dancing Superman.

2. If you’re going to do the donuts, then we want a message. Maybe spell out your sponsor’s name. Or maybe “thanks to the fans.” We need more than figure 8s, it really only works for the driver in the 8 car.

3. How about pulling a TO and autographing the checkered flag and then throwing it into the stands. Because it’s way better than going home with that piece of metal you pulled out of your arm.

4. We totally understand that not everyone can actually do the back flip. I don’t see Tony Stewart being that agile. But how about a forward roll? If you do it on a banked track, the laws of nature could help out even the least nimble driver.

5. Jump into the stands and start yelling, “You get a car, and you get a car…” while handing out 1/64 die casts of your winning car.
