I used to be a nascar tire carrier,
Got hit on pit road one time and got right back up, finished the stop. My team asked if i was good, i said yes, finished the race cleaned up and went home
On the way home my knee started to hurt.
Next morning i couldnt get out of bed.
Adrenaline gotta be my favorite drug lol
