VIDEO: A BACKWARDS BURNOUT IS THE BEST WAY TO CROSS A FINISH LINE

We wish we could say that this epic video was the finish to a race because there really is no other way to simultaneously assert dominance over opponents and a race track unless you flip a 180-degree turn to do a backwards burnout over the finish line. As much as our imaginations would love to believe this is what happened, this finish line cross was a fluke. Instead, it's the result of race car driver Marco Andretti pulling a remarkable save after losing control of the rear tires when taking a corner too aggressively.

As far as playing off mistakes goes, this one takes the cake.
