You know your career may be in trouble if you get kicked by a horse. Well Michel Jourdain suffered that indignity during a publicity shoot for the Busch Series' Mexican road race.
Jourdain, a former CART driver, isn't the first to suffer such an indignity. In October 1977 Darrell Waltrip drove in IROC's event at Riverside International Raceway and crashed hard, injuring his ribs. Later he was involved in a parade for the American 500 at Rockingham; he was riding a mule that suddenly threw him off his back and kicked him in the chest.
"I ran into a wall and got kicked by a mule," Waltrip said at Rockingham that weekend. Needless to say, he was a sore race driver.
