TNT analyst Charles Barkley is a favorite on TV chiefly for his propensity to fire from the hip in interviews.
As a result, Barkley's mouth has gotten him into hot water both in the past, and the present.
Barkley's bravado likely led to him challenging NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. to a race in their upcoming meeting.
I'm meeting Charles Barkley this Thursday. He challenged me to a race. I got no further details. This'll be fun.

Undoubtedly, if a race were to happen between the two, it would take place inside of automobiles. However, let's not forget the last time Charles challenged someone to a race:
