Between guzzling Lowenbrau and gawking at Dick Van Dyke on the PAX television network in the Ramada Inn neon night for four hours, something in Russ snapped. How else could it be deemed perfectly acceptable to steal the desk clerk’s motorcycle? Witness accounts say that Russ had entered the hotel lobby yelling racial epithets, telling the clerk to “go back to Pakistan or wherever you come from,” after complaining that the On Demand hotel movies weren’t working properly. Other witnesses report that Russ was intoxicated to the point of no recovery, proclaiming loudly that he must, “get the two-wheeler weapon away from the Arabs.” After the highly charged hotel lobby incident, Russ decided that the only thing left to do was take a nap. All would be better in the morning. The Daytona 500 wasn't starting until noon.
