Unser Jr. is a drunk

Two-time Indy 500 winner Al Unser Jr. faces a charge of driving under the influence after leaving the scene of a crash on a Nevada freeway. The 44-year-old Unser was arrested after he was identified as the driver of a car that sideswiped another on the Las Vegas Beltway shortly before 11 a.m. 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. This isn't Unser's first brush with the law. You may recall in August 2002, he was arrested for allegedly punching his girlfriend, Jena L. Soto, and then forcing her out of their car and leaving her on the side of the highway.

After hearing about Unser Jr. abusing a girlfriend, driving drunk and making other cars crash into walls while escaping injury himself, it sounds like he should have been driving Nascar.
