Juice Motorsports Names Waltrip, Cowlings as Drivers
As reported here in September of last year, O.J. Simpson has started a race team--a move that has left the worlds of Nascar, football, and crime on pins and bloody gloves waiting to see who the driver will be. That announcement came today, with Simpson naming Darrell Waltrip and A.C. Cowlings drivers for the 2007 debut season.
"We here at Juice Motorsports are proud to bring such a legendary driver on board--and we've got D.W. too!", explained a jubilant Simpson at a press conference from his Miami condo. "If Dan Marino, Terry Bradshaw, and Joe Washington have taught me anything, its that racing is killer for ex-football players!"
Simpson went on to explain that the team will follow the pattern of Hall of Fame Motorsports, sped up about 20 years. Waltrip will run the first five races, taking advantage of his past champions provisional, while Cowlings will finish out the schedule.
"This cat really knows what he's doing", said Waltrip, "with my past champion's provisional and Toyota connections, we can't lose! We're gonna be bigger than Waltrip-land, my new theme park--and its pretty big! Plus, A.C. gets us under the Drive for Diversity umbrella, though I heard Brian (France) say something about changing it."
Simpson said no progress had been made on sponsorship, though as an unsponsored team, Lucas Oil automatically will pay them money. Additionally, Simpson will reportedly melt down his NFL MVP trophy for lugnuts.
Cowlings was not present, but did release the following statement: "This is A.C.--YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS, DAMNIT!"
