Mikey crashes off the track.

He's too slow to make races and cause wrecks on the track, so he has to go out and cause wrecks off the track. :XXROFL:

I'm about the last to slam Robby Gordon and I get a little irritated at some of the posts about him...but this coming from a Robby fan is a little oxymoronic...
 
Let this be a lesson on what,
1. careless driving
2. leaving the scene of an acciddent
3.failure to report an accident

Mikey, you aren't spinning your way out of this one.
 
Mikey was very lucky that he wasn't seriously injured.

Jeez, it sounds like he was going faster than he normally does on the track. :)
 
So is he allow to try and race on Sundays now?
 
Mickey

Just when you thought his season couldn't get any worse.

You just don't leave the scene of an accident. That is pounded into your head from the first driving lesson.

Unless you are DUI! Then if home is only a mile away...go for it! Around here the penality is less for not blowing as it is for blowing too much.. So nobody that has their wits about them blows.
Betsy:rolleyes:
 
Do you think maybe he had a reason to leave the accident? Maybe alcohol? I don't know that but it kind of makes you wonder. Which is worse leaving the scene or DUI?
 
"I guess I'll just walk home...I mean, I flipped my car and got scratched up and cut a bit, but hell, why not take a stroll to my house...no one will be alarmed when I show up this way."
 
I guess he took the Sammy Hagar commercial to heart, "I can't drive 55"! What a putz. Personally as a Toyota hater, I'm loving this. I never did like the "walking commercial" to begin with, and this piled on top of his ability to drive a Nascar without any assemblance of effectiveness has me quite ammused.
So, who does everyone think the Napa sponsorship will go to at the end of the season? I'm thinking RCR to replace AT&T.:beerbang: :beerbang: :beerbang:
 
UPDATE: Michael Waltrip was uninjured in a single car accident Friday night near his home in Sherrills Ford, N.C. The 43-year old was returning from Charlotte, N.C. when he fell asleep at the wheel within a mile of his home and ran off the road, striking a telephone pole. “I am really embarrassed about the accident, but I feel fortunate that I wasn’t hurt,” said Waltrip. “For 25 years I have had a great driving record. I consider myself to be a courteous and safe driver on public roads. I never expected to fall asleep behind the wheel of a car.” The North Carolina Highway Patrol ticketed Waltrip for reckless driving (admitting to falling asleep at the wheel) and failure to notify authorities of an accident in a timely manner.(MWR PR) (Jayski.com)
 
What a bonehead!
He's actually very lucky that he didn't injure himself or someone else.
The first article states that it was about 1:50 am, sounds like it just after "last call".
I hope Toyota is watching.
You may see Mikey in a few PSA's after this.
 
Wonder why no one was home when the popo got to his house around 2am? Was he taken to the hospital for his injuries? Was the rest of the family out of town? Go with him?
Afterall the police didn't talk to him until 8pm that evening. That's a lot of time to go by not to be in contact with someone. Maybe he's smarter than Wimmer and gave himself time to detox before meeting with the authorities. All I know is questions abound but at least NAPA is sticking with him.
 
Mikey is really having a tough year. I'm really feeling for the guy now.

Smart move to walk home... crack a beer, THEN sober up. "Heck ya I've been drinking officer, but only after I got home. I just wrecked my car... wouldn't you want a drink too?"

Hard to prove otherwise unless someone snitches.
 
I find it every doughtful that it was weed.

If anything he was drinking, but he could of fell a sleep. I know we all get tired behind the wheel. But he was stupid and left the wreck.

I was watching cops and this guy left the scean to call the cops. (he had been drinking) he came back and the cop smelled it on him, but could not prove he was drinking when he drove over and got stuck on a curb. He admited he was drinking, but the cop could not prove it, so he got off with reckless driving or something of that nature.
 
I dont think he was drunk, thats just Mikey...
he dont use his head,lol! When I found out about this last night
I thought it was real funny, but now...I cant help but wonder about this mans common sense:D

DW..........I know Michael and I can tell you he wasn't drinking. He just fell asleep at the wheel and lost control of the car. He was in shock and not in control of his facilities. In that condition a person's first instinct is to want to go home. He just wasn't thinking.
 
I know, he was driving the real Aaron's Dream Machine. Hey Mikey, if it will shut DW up on Sunday's let him drive it.

Sounds about right....

When is DW going to stop being Mikey's little monkey?

DW should simply answer: "Beats me? Ask Michael." :cheers:

Waltrip said he went to the pool house to take a shower after the wreck and didn’t know the trooper had come to the house that night. Waltrip’s wife, Buffy, in Charleston for the weekend, was called about the incident and called Waltrip Saturday morning to tell him he needed to contact Buchanan when the trooper came back on duty at 8 p.m.

Buchanan said he was unable to make any determination about whether alcohol was involved because of the lapse of time between the wreck and when he talked to Waltrip. “That’s why the law requires you to remain there at the scene,” he said.

But Waltrip insists that he did not go home to avoid being tested for intoxication.

“Alcohol was not a factor at all in my accident,” he said. “I didn’t go home to avoid anything. I just went there trying to figure out what to do.”

As big as Mikey is I don't know how he gets out of all those wrecks. Was anyone besides me at Bristol when Mikey hit the gate at Bristol? I thought he was a goner then.
 
Oops there goes any believability anyone could have had in his story.

The witness said she asked Waltrip how long he'd been in the car and he told her about 10 minutes.

"He was bleeding from his forehead and had some cuts on his fingers and arms," she said. "I told him 'You are really lucky you are alive. I didn't think anybody was alive in there.' We sort of talked for a minute or two, and I told him 911 was on the way, and he just turned around and started walking home.
