Bourque Crashes Out!

From the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Power Stroke Diesel 200 at O'Reilly Raceway Park:

There were several minor incidents throughout the evening. Pierre Bourque [71] and Chad McCumbee were involved in the first caution of the night, which ended both of their nights.

Bourque's performance at this his first truck race can be seen as a metaphor for the financial performance of his sponsor, CanWest Global Communications, whose flag-ship publication, the National Post, appears to be doing a slow-motion endo into the snow fence of Bankruptcy as its circulation plunges like an old pick-up truck flying off a cliff.

Bourque, needless to say, came out of his accident all right. Will the Natty Post?

PS. This is not the series in which Bourque races under the Tory banner. That's the CASCAR stock car series. Just to be clear.

Because Racing Stock Cars Wasn't Rednecked Enough...

Tonight Pierre Bourque will be making his first appearance in the NASCAR Craftsman (Pickup) Truck Series at O’Reilly Raceway Park, Indianapolis, driving truck number 71.

Bourque's sponsors for this event include CanWest news, but any party looking to outflank the Tories on the Right, to appeal to the "sub-NASCAR" portion of the Canadian Demographic (they don't vote and they don't bathe), might consider paying Pierre a few bucks and having their logo slapped on the hood.
