Who was the nascar driver that won Bristol by an entire lap because they counted the laps wrong?
He had won the race, then when they did the official recount they figured he was actually an entire lap ahead of everyone.

The Italians are notorious for their over eccentric hand motions to convey their point..they probably thought these foreigners were hungry or thirsty.
