Ok, so you only get one lap with them, and it's not a hot lap in a stock car. But for those who've always wanted to wave regally to 160,000 screaming fans from the back of a pickup truck alongside their favorite NASCAR driver—which, if you think about it, is a pretty specific fantasy—head on over to Bristol Motor Speedway's "Ride of a Lifetime" auction and plunk down a bid. Among the drivers for sale are Kevin Harvick, Jeff Gordon, Kasey Kahne, Clint Bowyer, defending series champ Jimmie Johnson—and last week's Daytona 500 winner, Ryan Newman. I'm kind of curious to see what kinds of prices everyone will all fetch, but beware: the auction site requires registration, even just to watch.

Haha... WOW! I get to ride in the back of a truck going 20MPH!!!! sounds kinda boring to me, but stick me in a stock car and I'd consider ("consider" being the key word) signing up.
