The NASCAR Driver ATTACKED By Chimps

Visit the New Merch Store Here:

Usually in NASCAR history if a driver is remembered more for what they did off of the track it is not for a good reason. The same goes for animals around the racetrack as well. This is certainly the case for St. James Davis and his pet chimpanzee Moe who have been immortalized on the internet for all the wrong reasons. Today we look back at the NASCAR driver who owned a chimpanzee, and see St. James Davis, the NASCAR driver attacked by chimps.

Also, apparently, all of the staff that took care of Davis needed therapy to help cope with seeing the results of a gruesome attack

every part of this is just plain sad. the poachers, the biting incidents, the cage, the relocation, the mauling, the disappearance, everything.

Fun Fact: NASCAR does allow wild animals at and around their race tracks. These wild and untamed beasts are classified as “Elliott Fans” and are common around the Dawsonville area.

Regarding the mention of a chimpanzee’s lifespan, for a comparison Fred J. Muggs, the mascot of the early years of the Today show, was born in 1952 (about two months after the show began) and as of 2018 (the last known report on him) at least was still alive.

I thought Tony Stewart had a monkey at the track before. It could have been his house though

You can tame an animal out of the wild,but you can’t tame the wild out of it
