Ladies and gentlemen, start your armchairs! In
a unique tune-up for Sunday’s 47th running of the Daytona
500, Michael Waltrip and Greg Biffle, two former winners at Daytona
International Speedway, will put their driving skills to the test
on a track of a different kind. There’ll be no restrictor
plates and drafting partners to worry about, or even left turns
for that matter, but there will be a catch. Waltrip and Biffle
will be racing in the world’s fastest armchairs –
souped-up, motorized recliners that reach a top speed of more
than 40 miles per hour – down a makeshift drag strip. The
event, dubbed the “Full Throttle Armchair Challenge,”
celebrates the official launch of Full Throttle, a new energy
drink from The Coca-Cola Company.
