Press Releases

(June 3, 2005) - Celebrating its fourth year of involvement in the Indy 500, Team Barking Chirp, the "Best Damn Team Without A Car," took it's on and off track presence to new heights of splendor and destruction during the 89th running of the Indianapolis 500. This year's race festivities redefined the Indy 500 experience for thousands of fans who came in contact with the team - and the Police issue bull horn only made the team's presence heard and felt even more.

A mean and lean team consisting of only the best and most dedicated members of Team Barking Chirp truly impressed, with thunders of chirps heard across the state from Muncie, Indiana to Ohio State. Expelled from Speedway for the next year, TBC Racing's 2005 Rookie of the Year, Brian B-O-B Meyer, stepped it up a notch, between the $30 "tug-and-chugs," arrest and time in the Marion County Jail and full law-enforcement frisks of women.

Highlighted by his official "Start to Finish" costume, The Captain declared himself the unofficial Bishop of Speedway by blessing fans in that fine city with open arms and Budweiser Select.

Firsts for the Team at the 89th Running:

" Fourth year at race in honor of the Windsor Sleeper, Bob "Four-Finger" Hengel

" Unveiling of the official TBC Racing Team hairstyle, the properly named TBC Racing T-Mullet. Aerodynamic and functional, the T-Mullet combines the beauty of a mullet with the seriousness of a mo-hawk and separates the weekend race fan from the diehard gasoline drinker.

" The 35-ft Damon "Fastbreak" recreational vehicle

" Hosting of the "Indy Biker Boyz" and their chinchilla-covered stolen crotch rockets

" Witnessing both Greco-Roman wrestling post race, and hand-gun sales pre-race

" Fireworks - and shooting them into Associate Member "Froggy's" mouth

"As always, TBC Racing works to impress with our dedication and drunkenness, and this year was no different," remarked newly promoted Senior Director of Remembrances Alex "Cantstandya" Costanza. "I'm proud to be a member of the team and proud to call the infield my home."

This year's race once again brought Team Barking Chirp closer to its goal of living and breeding in Speedway, and while we made our mark during race week, the ill-effects will be felt for the race season. Now only if Danica Patrick's yeast infection would heal.

Team Barking Chirp will once again be embarking on a full season of on and off-track activities, and all interested parties should inquire about attendance. More information on the team can be found at www.teambarkingchirp.com.
