Drag-race crash driver drove drunk… seven years ago

The AP is reporting that the Australian driver of a dragster that crashed into the crowd at a parade last week had previously been convicted of drunk driving.

“Previously,” however, in this case, means back in 2000.

Unless it can be proven that he was drunk at the time of the crash, I don’t see how this can possibly be relevant, except to sensationalize and extend the life of an otherwise short-term story.
