Won a contest to be interviewed in the pit during a NASCAR race. I'm mid-interview, being broadcast on the jumbotron to 100,000 fans, when—BRAAAP—a barking spider wins the race to make itself heard over the engines.
The interviewer didn't miss a beat, just said, "Sounds like we've got another engine revving up down here in the pit!" My 15 seconds of fame are now preserved forever on YouTube as "Fan's Pit Stop Interview Goes BRRR."
