Wash your mouth out with hammer, nails and soap
You're Vince Welch, a veteran IRL IndyCar Series broadcaster. You've seen some of the biggest events in motorsports history during your career.
But ESPN has a different assignment for you this weekend.
Can you do the 69th All-American Soap Box Derby.
Seriously?
(He is still smiling? Now is he?)
That's when you know a) you need a new agent and b) you might consider selling bibles until retirement.
ESPN carries this thing live today from 1-3 p.m. ESPN2 will re-air it Thursday, July 27 at noon and on Saturday, August 5 at 3 p.m., where Welch's family and friends can be embarassed all over again.
If Welch isn't careful, they might ask him to do the All-American Paper Airplane Throwing Championship from Kitty Hawk, N.C. ... Wright?
For now, we'll just watch some old Soap Box races on our Viewmaster ...

So your're saying Paul Page got the plum assignment with the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest?
