Too big to fail

I guess being charged with battery isn't a positive thing.
Wouldn't the phrase "was arrested at his trailer" be more in line with NASCAR?

Maybe we should be concerned for his girlfriend. Womens prisons are worse than mens. And if she hit him first she should go away longer....

Besides the trailer comment, there are 2 other details I find interesting: 1) he was on his way home from a strip club with his girlfriend and 2) he was changing gears as she drove.
Seems a number of years ago he was boy wonder but look at how his life has changed over the past 5 years ...

It's been rumored - but undocumented - for years that Unser is a drunk. I guess this doesn't help his case much. -- Curt
P.S.: living in a trailer at the Speedway???? |

If I'm not mistaken, Unser has a daughter who suffers from a permanent dibilitating illness, like MS or something similar. I believe there are other long-term, depressing problems with his first wife of family. Sounds like the drinking may be an escape.
