Life's A Drag For Blago?

Strange story coming from the Sun-Times' Michael Sneed (so take it with a grain of salt). It seems that while Patti was allowed to go to Costa Rica for that reality show, Blago's received a new offer of his own. William Kelly, host of CSN's "Sports-A-Holic," has allegedly offered Blago $10,000 to participate in a drag race. Yes, a drag race. We...would actually watch that on television (unlike Patti's rumble in the jungle). According to Sneed:

The stats: Although Blago has yet to answer the challenge, the $10,000 is being put up by the Melrose Park Indoor Grand Prix, an indoor go-cart track -- but a race car drag event is also being eyed. It's still unclear where the race would take place.

We wonder if he'll even need to wear a helmet or if his hair will properly do the job.
