Christopher Daniel Gay: "I'm with the band this..."

AP - It has all the makings of a country song: an escaped prisoner, his terminally ill mother, a Wal-Mart truck, NASCAR and a Nashville singer's tour bus.

Since Christopher Daniel Gay, 32, escaped from a prisoner transport van Sunday, police say he has evaded a five-state manhunt by stealing a pickup, a big rig and the bus that belongs to singer Crystal Gayle. No one has been reported injured during his time on the lam, and the search for him continued Friday.

Initially, police say, his motive for fleeing was simple.

''I take it he was just trying to see his mom,'' said Michael Douglas, the police chief in Pleasant View, Tenn., near the home where Gay's mother is dying of cancer.

The most recent sighting of Gay -- described as white, 5-foot-7 and 145 pounds with tattoos on both arms -- was in Florida.

A man believed to be Gay arrived Thursday night at USA International Speedway in Lakeland, Fla., telling the manager there he was with Joe Gibbs Racing, a team which boasts NASCAR racer Tony Stewart among its drivers.

Alcohol involved in the crash of this...

AP - Two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Al Unser Jr. was charged with driving under the influence after leaving the scene of a freeway crash.

He was arrested after he was identified as the driver of a car that sideswiped another on the Las Vegas Beltway on Thursday, Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Kevin Honea said.

Unser's vehicle had little damage, but the other car crashed into a cement center median. The driver reported no injuries at the scene, Honea said Friday.

Honea said Unser failed several field sobriety tests before being taken into custody. The 44-year-old Unser was charged with driving under the influence, misdemeanor hit and run, failure to render aid in an accident and failure to report an accident.

Andrew Leavitt, a lawyer representing Unser, did not immediately respond to a message Friday.

Unser is the son of Indianapolis 500 racing great Al Unser and nephew of three-time Indy winner Bobby Unser. He won the Indy 500 in 1992 and 1994, two CART points titles and two IROC championships.

Unser has had bouts with alcohol abuse and depression. He underwent treatment for alcohol abuse in 2002 after his girlfriend said he hit her in the face while drunk in Indianapolis. Prosecutors did not file charges.

A special someone has domesticated this...

Ladies, NASCAR Nextel Cup driver Elliott Sadler would like you to know that he is officially off the market.

Quoting this...
ESAD: "Life is great right now. I think for the first time I see the glass as half full instead of half empty. I'm a very pessimistic person, a realist is what I call it, but sometimes it's pessimistic.  This year I've just got one of those crazy feelings.

"I'm pretty close to becoming domesticated. It's something that hits you like a ton of bricks and it's definitely hit me. I've definitely found someone I want to settle down with and raise a family. I think that has a lot to do with the attitude I have right now. She's shown me the brighter side of life
and what life's all about. It's gonna happen pretty quick. I'm definitely off the market."

The disorderly intoxication of this...

Smudging the shine on NASCAR's squeaky clean image, one incident at a time:

NASCAR.com - Two-time NASCAR Busch Series champion Martin Truex Jr. was charged with disorderly intoxication after an officer saw him urinating in a parking garage, authorities said.

A Volusia County Beach Patrol officer observed Truex, 26, urinating on his own car Saturday morning, according to a police report. Capt. Rich Gardner approached Truex and said, "I hope that's worth 100 bucks," the report said.

According to Gardner, Truex responded with, "It is worth 100 bucks," and he held out a $100 bill.

"I got a ticket for doing something stupid," Truex told The Daytona Beach News-Journal on Monday.

"It was a stupid mistake and I'll never do it again."

Gardner repeatedly asked Truex to place his hands behind his back so he could handcuff him before Truex agreed, according to the report. Gardner smelled alcohol on Truex's breath and charged him with disorderly intoxication.
