So let me get this straight…Dino Gaudio takes over a struggling Wake Forest basketball program (32-33 over the two years prior) because of the untimely death of the well-liked Skip Prosser.

Figures that as soon as I make fun of Michael Waltrip and the Aaron’s Dream Machine, it’s involved in a crash. Check out this video of Michael McDonald wrecking the Dream Machine on Friday in qualifying at Texas. He walks away fine. This is either good proof that the safer barrier and the Car of Tomorrow really work or else he’s taken on some of Michael Waltrip’s superhuman abilities.
