I heard something similar during the Coca-Cola 600 two or three years ago. Think it was to captain? struck me as odd cause i figured, big fancy fighter and all that, aren't you already the captain of the ship? it was before the fighters did their flyover. really surprised me. especially with all the focus on safety.
i mean, who is holding the bible? and where is he sitting? shouldn't we be keeping both hands on the steering wheel?
