Chad Ochocinco To NASCAR’s Ricky Carmichael: Let’s Race

Chad Ochocinco is at it again, writing checks with his mouth – er, tweets – that his butt can’t cash.

↵Last night, he challenged NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Ricky Carmichael to a race. Carmichael, who was known as the “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time) in the pro motocross and supercross ranks, sounded as if he was game.

↵↵@OGOchoCinco: me n you race 85 laps at a track of your choice-if I win you endorse my OCHO CINCO CONDOMS on your real race car?

↵@rickycarmichael: bring it on. after i spank ur ass there, we’ll go on to motorcycles. i win, u wear my jersey during warm ups at ur next game.

↵@OGOchoCinco: oh hell yeah its on now, when I’m done with you you will be milking cows on a farm

↵@rickycarmichael: child please!

↵↵Not surprisingly for the NASCAR world of constant promotion, one track already offered up its facility within minutes.

↵↵@tootoughtotame: Hey @OGOchoCinco how about you and @rickycarmichael race at the track ‘Too Tough to Tame’ -- Darlington Raceway

↵↵No word on whether Ochocinco and Carmichael will accept that invitation yet.
