back from the meeting

Driver’s meeting is done. It last a whole five minutes.
And no surprise here, driver’s were instructed against the infamous bump drafting which has become commonplace here at Talladega and at Daytona.
The word “bump draft” wasn’t actually used. What was said was “aggressive driving” would not be tolerated at any spot on the track for the duration of the race.
Everyone in the room got the drift.
Back on a celebrity note, Tommy Tuberville is quite the popular man.
Following a large escort of state troopers, Tubs was swarmed with fans trying to snap a picture or get an autograph. Shoot, the lesser known drivers on the circuit can’t get that.
On another celeb note, one particular person I couldn’t figure out earlier was in the driver’s meeting.
It was none other than Maury Povich along with wife Connie Chung
