Stock up on Metamucil-flavored Gatorade

By now you've probably heard about James Hylton, the 72-year-old man who is trying to qualify to drive in next month's Daytona 500. Hylton has some qualifications; he was NASCAR's 1966 rookie of the year.

I've been thinking a lot about this, and I've decided that I'm in favor of old people driving in NASCAR because it's the only place in the world where it's perfectly acceptable to leave your left-turn signal on for five hundred miles. And I suppose this means that next year we're going to see Toonces the driving cat in the Indy 500, and how could that possibly be a bad idea?
