Don't worry. You can usually smell him before you actually see him, besides, he's already checked in, dropped his bomb and left

Keep in mind that most publications like that lie about these things. Hopefully he doesn't really think that...

Agree, just because pete is in luv with MS ding-dongs no need to hold it against him ........
after a little research i would have to say, the kid is disillusioned, MS is the better actor and driver......

Surely he's heard of, say, Patrick Dempsey (Dr. McDreamy), who's made it higher up the food chain than him.

Wow, what a fool.

Ummm, did you watch Daytona? McDreamy couldn't get past McPit Exit without trouble.

For racing purposes, the phrase "Conceit cometh before the fall" can be changed to "Conceit cometh before the big one". This is a young man who will have 2 broken ankles before much longer. Hope he wakes up.

Well Dempsey had good company... I think it was a guy named Jeff Gordon who did the same thing last year at the 24 hour.. and a guy named Hamilton who lost the F1 championship on pit in... can happen to anyone at anytime I just bet it is embarassing as hell when it does .

I'll say this, Demspey finished the race !

I wonder if Big Frank was mis qouted.... Newman, McQueen , James Garner, Tommy Smothers, Bobby Carradien , Coach ....

I watched Jason Priestley at Sears Point , two laps down behind the lead car under a yellow flag ,with everyone stacked up, rear end the lead car in 6 and put him into the tire barrier and out of the race . I hear that Southwest airlines tone.......

Diven was the worst piece of crap ever produced. It was horrible as a movie and it was horrible as a racing movie! Guy jumping over a curb and passing other driver while doing it... Come on!
Often in a sports movie at least one aspect is ok and then some times as i.e. Miracle (movie about 1980 Lake Placid Hockey) both parts are good.
