Life int the Fast Lane: Bobby's Saga is a very serious look at the pitfalls of parenthood and marriage. While Bobby thinks that Jeff Gordon is just a cerial box model; Hank thinks working at the race track will give the boy a little horse-sense in the budget/work ethic department. Meanwhile, Bill, Hank and Boomhauer are busy at the Nascar track doing something of a dream-job; Boomhauer is trying to fix up his car because he's been invited to be the pace car! When Bobby starts working for Jimmy Wichert (a complete moron that Dale and Hank remember from Highschool)he runs into some difficulties due to Jimmy's lack of everyday common sense. Young Bobby complains to Hank, but Hank just chalks it up to a kid balking at the prospect of actual hard work for once in his life. Tune in for an eye opener!moreless

- Bobby: Jeff Gordon's a race car driver, too!??! I thought he was just a cereal box guy!
  EDIT SHARE
- Dale(About Jimmy): People say he fried his brain one day just staring at the sun. Course, he couldn't have been too smart to do that in the first place -- kind of a chicken/egg thing.
  EDIT SHARE
- Luanne: So okay, we wave this sign around, and Jeff Gordon sees it. Then, he comes up to us in the stands and is so taken by our charms, that he asks one of us to marry him.
  Peggy: Well, honey, it probably won't be me. I have got a ring on my finger.
  Luanne: Yeah, and big feet.
  EDIT SHARE

  Jimmy: Okay, first, you go to the men's room and mop out the unirals; then, you go to my cigarettes in my car; then, go to back here.
  EDIT SHARE
- Hank: Bobby, I know we've never talked about this, but some day, I'm going to die. And when that happens, then you can go to cooking school.
  EDIT SHARE

  Hank: Uh, huh huh huh, Bobby, you joke around like that in public, people are gonna think you ain't right.
  EDIT SHARE

  EDIT SHARE
