This lede image is, sadly, not part of the music video here. In fact, it isn’t a video at all, but it is a link to a Drive-By Truckers song called “Daddy’s Cup” on YouTube. The song is all about a father and son who live their lives for racing. Given the subject matter, I have deemed it worthy of the Hooniverse.
The lyrics drive a story that many of us can relate to our own father and his influence. Give it a listen and enjoy.
The first time that I raced my qualifying was a shame
I started out way in the back and came back about the same
I pulled her in the pit, couldn’t look my Daddy in the eye
He said “If you quit now son, it’s gonna haunt you all your life”

Those guys are great in concert. Do yourself a solid and go see them when they are nearby.
Oh crap. Been a few years since I've listened to this song.
These guys know how to tell some amazing stories.
Remember when stock car racers raced stock cars? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
