Potential non-aerial Sports example with this year's Spring race at Talladega Superspeedway. The top 8 cars crossed within 0.2 seconds (with the gap between first and second being 0.002 seconds) 4 wide and 2 deep! And each column were comprised of racers with the same owner! Special props go to Dale "I don’t really like the two-car stuff. It's — I don’t know — just silly." Earnhardt Junior:
His daddy probably had his own spinout from six feet under from that, even with the quote from Saturday. The other drafting partners were Mark Martin (to Jeff Gordon, i.e. the rest of The Empire), Kevin Harvick to Clint Bowyer (who invoked one of Earnhardt Sr.'s favorite Tropes due to an inane reporter) and Greg Biffle to Carl Edwards. The last has some significance because while Junior helped Johnson win the race, by overtaking Martin Biffle helped Edwards hold on to the points lead at that point.

So where IS the page for "the guy who keeps the girl who you are trying to pick up's girl companion occupied"?
