Who believes Jimmie Johnson?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Nextel Cup champion Jimmie Johnson broke his left wrist when he fell out of a golf cart during a celebrity tournament, his team said Sunday.

The injury occurred Friday at a tournament in Lecanto, Fla., and will prevent him from driving for at least four weeks. The injury was to his non-shifting hand, and he should be able to participate in preseason testing at Daytona International Speedway next month.

"I was in a golf cart and the driver took a sharp turn," Johnson said in a statement. "I wasn't holding on tight enough, landed awkwardly on the ground and heard a little pop. It was a fluke deal, but fortunately we're in the offseason and I don't plan to miss any additional time."

Who wants to bet someone was drunk?? Either JJ was trying to drive the golf cart like a racecar, or whoever he was with was trying to show off to the champ.

 

I'll take JJ driving and someone else taking the fall for 2,000.

 

True story ... buddy of mine was sitting in the back of a cart, holding two beers and arguing with his 15-year-old daughter who was at the wheel.

She took off, he fell off. Broke both arms but spilled neither beer.

 

I hope he wasn't with the daughter of the dean.

 

Depends on how you fall. Really.

 

who beat?

 

In Sunday Money, Jeff MacGregor describes a very specific scene where Jeff Gordon goes flying out of a golf cart and bounces off the pavement when someone cuts a corner too fast. (He wasn't hurt, though.) I'd say it's quite possible JJ is telling the truth.

 

It says Johnson was a passenger...but doesn't say where he was sitting. He could've been riding on the back of the cart and rolled off, that being the way he broke his wrist, Mod.

 

It could've been a British cart, Moddy.

 

The ground, apparently.
