The Nascar world was turned on its head today, with the shocking announcement that Bobby Labonte will be running the Fruity Cheerios paint scheme this weekend. But a news story also worth mentioning is Jeremy Mayfield's surprising comments in a sworn court affadavit. In the document, Mayfield claims that his team was hindered by owner Ray Evernham's "close personal relationship" with Erin Crocker. Obviously, it doesn't take someone with Chad Little's law degree to see what that means. But The Outside Groove chose to take a different approach--this is obviously a parallel to every 80's teen romantic comedy. Here's how the cast fills out:

Ray Evernham: The Star Everyman. He's the guy who's just looking for his way in life, trying to discover himself after being jilted by his first love (note: replace "love" with "driver" for maximum effect). Of course, it takes a whirlwind trip to a foreign land (England, or perhaps upstate New York) to force him to make the biggest decision of his life.

Erin Crocker: The Geeky Everygirl. She's quiet, plain, and unsure how to express herself. Deep down, she wants the Everyman, but doesn't believe he'll ever go for her. She lashes out (on her trucks), hurting the ones she loves (smashing them into walls). Of course, in the end, she DOES get the guy. Bonus points for having glasses.

Jeremy Mayfield: Zabka. Mayfield plays the resident bully, the kind of guy played by William Zabka repeatedly. His lawsuit was his way to "Sweep the leg, Jeremy!", and after his revenge is through, they'll have to "get Ray a bodybag, yeeeeah!"

Kasey Kahne: The Hot Chick. Every guy in the audience would go for the better looking one, but movie law states that if the star goes with the better looking protagonist, the universe will collapse.

Scott Riggs: Friend #4.
