If I was ever elected President (funny I know), and had to name a cabinet made up of only NASCAR drivers, here’s how I’d go:

Vice President:  Kyle Busch 

Kyle would win me key votes in the younger demographics and help me out west.  Plus—- it’s always better when your vice president makes the news a lot by some of the dopey things they say or do (i.e. Quayle, Cheney, Biden).  Always makes for good tv.

Secretary of State:  Jimmie Johnson

You want your secretary of state to command respect and get along with other countries.  Jimmie is well respected by other athletes.  Plus he takes a private plane to hang out with artists at cool concerts.  How cool is that?

Secretary of Defense:  Tony Stewart

Honestly, can anybody else fend off a pass on the last lap like Tony?

Chief of Staff:  Rick Hendrick

You want your chief of staff to be the ultimate game planner, multi-tasker, and shark.  With the exception of over-paying for Dale Earnhart Junior, this guy can do no wrong!

Press Secretary:  Darrell Waltrip

Outside of Dick Vitale in college basketball, is there a better communicator and ambassador for his sport than Darrell Waltrip?

Director of Homeland Security:  Jeff Gordon

Over the past few years Jeff has been the ultimate teammate and outstanding at protecting his family—- which is Hendrick Motorsports.

Secretary of Health and Human Services:  Carl Edwards

The guy can do a back flip.  That’s healthy?  Right?

Attorney General:  Mark Martin

As AG, you need a person schooled in the law with a long career in the business.  Fits Mark Martin to a tee.

Director of FEMA:  Denny Hamlin

Did anybody have to overcome more pit screw-ups and other obstacles last season than Denny?  And he still made the Chase.

That’s it.

How bout you’re cabinet?

(C’mon I know you’ve got just as much free time as I obviously do!)
