Randy Moss Getting Into Motorsports

New England Patriots All-Pro wide receiver Randy Moss announced plans Tuesday to field a Moss Motorsports team in NASCAR's Craftsman Truck Series. The interest in racing isn't new to Moss... He sponsors a local dirt track program in his native West Virginia and serves as a goodwill ambassador for the Urban Youth Racing School headquartered in Philadelphia.

Until this moment, I had no idea anyone raced trucks. Except for the kind of highway racing done by sleep-deprived Teamsters high on Dexitrim trying to make early delivery bonus money. What kind of truck to they race? Pickups? Monster trucks? The kind Sylvester Stallone drove through Robert Loggia's front door in "Over the Top"? Never mind. It doesn't matter. Regardless of what this sport is all about, you know Randy Moss is destined for greatness. They could race forklifts, mailtrucks or Zambonis around a track, and Moss Motorsports will clean up. Because the wideout from Rand University is great at everything he does. I know Joe Gibbs has a NASCAR team and three Super Bowl rings, but does he have a postage stamp? No he doesn't, but Moss does. Very soon the rednecks, inbreds and hillbillies of the truck racing world are going to discover what the NFL already knows: You cannot stop Randy Moss, period. The AFC East couldn't. Gibbs couldn't. And as been proven, when he gets behind the wheel, even a meter maid can't slow him down.

By the way, is there any more worthy-sounding charity in the country than the Urban Youth Racing School? Giving Inner City kids the chance to drive dangerously fast in a circle? I'm welling up with tears at the thought of it. Everyone should by a "Straight Cash Homie" t-shirt to help this worthy cause.
