It's almost like he knew he was going to get beat before he even started the race so instead of trying to race for real he thought he would try to be cool and do a smoke show....   :bricks:

From the very start of the video he looked terrified sitting in that car.

I don't think it was his car and it's quite obvious he was just goofing around... :banana:

He was driving like a Dick. Maybe looking in the mirror at his hair or something.

Not really. most people are aware when the tires are spinning and when they are not.

Jerk move to pull in someone else's car, and it obviously was spinning before he even left.

I will admit it is not as easy to pedal a drive by wire set up compared to a traditional linkage.

I don't take him too seriously.  He is an entertainer first, the car tech personality comes second.  He is very successful for reason, face man with good people around him.  So this display was for show with the added embarrassment that doesn't hurt his already foolhardy personality.

I was there for the whole thing, he was racing Leah Prichett and knew he had no chance, so he was planning on just blazing the tires down the whole track.... which didn't go as planned.

I agree with all sentiments though about him.  He is just a tool.  But he was polite to everyone and took pics with the kids, so I won't fault him for that.
