Awkward video: Brad Keselowski and lovely golfer Anna Rawson

Hey, what say we get the Bristol weekend rolling with some awkward video? Here's Brad Keselowski and golfer Anna Rawson doing one of those "why don't we try one another's jobs? It'll be wacky!" videos. Rawson posted it this week on her Twitter page. Oh, the pain, the pain ...

Wow. After that golf swing, I can see why Talladega happened. Keselowski was trying to pass Edwards, but he has zero depth perception. Ouch.

Create-a-caption: In a shot from 2024, President Johnson enters

Tell me this doesn't look like President Obama is welcoming President Jimmie Johnson. With secret servicemen Carl Edwards and Clint Bowyer looking on. Caption this, friends; you've got plenty to work with!

After the jump, Brian Vickers is trampling on people's lawns.

Video: You will believe Robby Gordon can drive a car

This is why this gig is awesome -- you're tapping away on a post or two, and all of a sudden something like this comes over the email. From last month, and courtesy of reader/assistant editor Carol, this is video of Robby Gordon starting out at the Baja 500. And no, you clowns, he doesn't go straight into the wall. Far from it.

First off, turn down your speakers. Did you do it? Okay, good, do it again. This is LOUD. Now, behold this awesomeness, as Gordon rip-asses his way out of downtown Ensenada, through what appears to be a drainage culvert, past wandering people and pets on the outskirts of town, down a straight-shot highway, and finally into the desert. Enjoy:

There are a million little things to love about this video, like the kid at 1:23 who starts to cross the street in front of Gordon and wisely thinks better of it. Post your faves in the comments below.
