Don't challenge Nick Saban to a street race, things won't work out well for you.

Alabama's head coach told an interesting little story during his weekly radio show Thursday, admitting to participating in a street race Wednesday after he felt challenged by an unknown man, according to Marq Burnett of SEC Country.

"Some guy pulled up in a hot tamale Mustang like he wanted to go. The competitor in me? It was over quick," Saban said.

Saban is known for his ownership of a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Nashville, so it's fair to assume that he had quite the set of wheels at his disposal at the time.
