He can do close to 200 mph in a race car but can't ride safely in a golf car

Didn't Stewart do the same thing? Weird that 2 NASCAR Champs could do that, they need Penske's on the golf carts.

Left turns are better

Crusing down the edge of the fairway looking for my ball spot'd it...took a sharp left

Dump my partner...it was pretty funny watching him roll across the fairway
