CRAZY CANADIANS ARE JUST ONE REASON WHY WE SHOULD ALL BE LISTENING TO DAVE MOODY.

This past Monday, September 22nd, I found myself on an Arizona freeway returning home to California after covering a Super Clean Modified Racing Series event at the Havasu 95 Speedway. Needless to say we had our Sirius Radio on listening to Dave Moody. I've always said Moody's knowldege of NASCAR racing,his unlimited resources for information plus the fact that he's very funny makes listening to his show well worth the time.

On this particular show Moody and broadcast partner Suzy Q were fielding telephone calls with the hot topic of the day being driver Kyle Busch and his fall from the top of NASCAR's Chase standings. The on air debate was lively regarding whether Busch's chance of winning the NASCAR championship were over vs he will overcome all this and charge to the top again. Moody pointed out that mathmatically Busch was still in the Chase and said "he's not done yet but they need to have the paramedics standing by because his lips are turning blue."

In the middle of this lively debate came a telephone call from "Steve The Canadian." It seems that Steve truly believes that the mechanical problems that Kyle Busch suffered at New Hampshire and Dover is in fact a giant conspiracy against him and NASCAR officials are behind it. Even the normally unflapable Moody didn't know what to do with that statement at first.

"Think about it," Steve said adding "who else has access to those cars early in the morning before a race?" When Moody asked him why they would ever want to do this Steve replied, in an aggravated voice, "BECAUSE NASCAR DOESN'T WANT A TOYOTA TEAM TO WIN THEIR CHAMPIONSHIP!"

By now Dave Moody was intrigued with Steve The Canadian and allowed him more air time than the average caller receives. Good for him. Steve was in the process of throughly entertaining an entire NASCAR nation listiening to the broadcast. I wanted to grab my cell phone and join the fun but I was laughing so hard I couldn't see to dial the number.

However, I did find myself wondering what "Steve The Canadian" looked like and what his lifestyle was. I came up with the following mental image:

He has a mullet hair cut because "the 1980's rule man!"

He wears a black T shirt with the logo: "warning I always do what the voices in my head tells me to do."

He wears a Kyle Busch racing cap because "rowdy" people have a tendency to stick together.

He resides in a single wide mobile home, located in the middle of no where, with a pitbull dog named "Suds McKenzie."

His mobile home is completey covered in aluminum foil to deter the transmissions from the demon voices he hears.

He drinks mass quantities of "Bud Light" because he thinks it's a healthy choice

He has lust for the whacky ladies that he sees on "The Jerry Springer Show."

His hero is Dave Moody because Moody is the only one who will actually listen to him

And, to borrow a line from one of Moody's callers, "his occupation is crash test dummy."

What followed this call was equally amazing. The show's producers were deluged with calls, and massive emails, from Canadian race fans who wanted to apologize for Steve and to assure everyone that true Canadians don't behave this way in public.

Keep up the good work Dave Moody. You made a long five hour drive a lot of fun. Keep those calls coming "Steve The Canadian." Our "Loose Lug Nuts" column is always interested in a man of your caliber.
