Rumor has it that Mikey tried to blame Robby Gordon.

He does have the right to a trial, but I must say the court of public opinion has found him guilty. If this case goes to court, I suspect a similar verdict may be in the offing.
IF he pleads no contest, he is admitting he was out of it when he wrecked.
I will say this, I am glad he is ok. After hearing what happened to Gov. Corsign (sic) of NJ, who wasn't wearing his seat belt, you have to thank god Mikey wasn't hurt. He of course was smart enough to be belted up but man, that picture looks AWFUL. I bet he is sore.
I still stand by my earlier thought though Toyota will NOT like this publicity and the fact Mikey didn't notify the cops. AFter being the owner of a team caught cheating, breaking socieities rules doesn't help his image one bit..."Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".

I've been reading North Carolina vehicle code on reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident. I really don't think he'll have too much problem, assuming a good lawyer.
Reckless driving is a vague catch-all they hit you with when they don't like what happened, sort of like Nascar's 12-4-A (actions detrimental to stock car racing) except North Carolina's courts can't act like the dictatorship that is Nascar. There's the presumption of innocence and intent to commit the infraction. It would be hard to prove someone intended to fall asleep at the wheel of a vehicle a mile from home.
Leaving the scene of an accident/reporting it probably gets bargained down or goes away because:
1. The accident was reported by the witness and she told the police that she informed Waltrip that she had.
2. One look at vehicle, it's clear the roof was bent all the way down to his face and was likely suffering from concussion.
3. It took NCHP better part of an hour to respond to a probable injury accident.
BTW In the last couple of days Google Earth has upgraded their sat photos two levels in the area, so now you can see every telephone pole on Molly's Backbone Rd.

Regardless of our differing opinions on this matter, isn't is refreshing to be able to express them freely? I tried a few jokes, and the link to the 911 call on the Speed boards, and the hand of corporate/PC asshats slapped me down, multiple times.
Personally, I'd rather argue with folks here over and over than be shut out of my opinion. Cheers for MSF, good board and intelligent and interesting fans. mokin:Racing season is soon upon us!:smokin:

Interesting Waltrip has been replaced on Trading Paint. Did this just happen this week or previously?

Yesterday Chris Ingram posted he was doing a 'shakedown' of the Polo R5 so it seems he's continuing in that car for the Jim Clark. I don't know if its because the 2nd Yaris hasn't arrived yet at...
