Twitter Thursday, NASCAR edition: Inside Mikey's home

Hey, have you heard about this new thing called Twitter? All the kids are doing it, including us, and so are many of your favorite drivers! Yes, it may be an enormous time-sink, but where else are you going to find out that Michael Waltrip's house still has rattan furniture -- and his drinkware of choice has his own face on it? That's priceless info, you know?

• Michael Waltrip (mw55) attached that picture there at right to give us an idea of what he does with his downtime:

"I'm at home alone entertainin myself. Wanna drink ?"

Brian Vickers (brianvickers83) celebrated after his big win on Sunday:

Finally got the hardware we deserved. Great job guys. Out with friends tonight to celebrate! Wish we could have gotten it yesterday as well

Juan Pablo Montoya (jpmontoya) gave us a complete breakdown of what it's like to visit the president:

"Landed in washington in my way to an interview then a bunch of events in the white house"

Patrick Carpentier (GoPatGo) isn't having the best of times:

"Some days you just feel like you are just a bug on a highway waiting for a windshield..."

Ryan Newman (ryannewman39) gets a look at a different hazardous occupation:

"Went to the local Thursday night Bull Riding...... had a lot of fun.....and they say what I do is dangerous?"

• And finally, Brad Coleman (BradCColeman) appears to be giving us a window into ... something:

"That's what good friends are for.When one makes a pass at the other,he can pretend it never happened if he doesn't feel that same connection"
