Do they drive like they... drive?

There have always been a handful of drivers - in every racing series and era - who, like Twain, enjoyed spoiling a good walk. Or spoiling a good ride, maybe, by using a golf cart. You can count Nextel Cup drivers Dale Jarrett, Michael Waltrip, Rusty Wallace, Elliott Sadler and Jamie McMurray among those currently under golf's spell.

I've heard the TV guys refer to Jarrett's abilities and understood him to have played very well in some celebrity pro-ams and the like. He's also teamed up with Phil Mickelson on behalf of Ford.

And Wallace isn't shy about his love of the game. He even has a ubiquitous golf ball's branding on his Busch car.

But I don't really know anything about their games. Or of those other three guys'. So I wonder if they drive like they ... well, drive. Pitch and putt like they pit. And so on.

We'll apparently get to find out very soon, thanks to the Golf Channel.

The all-golf, all-the-time cable network will feature the five wheelmen in its  "Big Break All Star Challenge" at the Peninsula Club at Lake Norman in the days to come. It will be a version of Golf Channel's wildly popular reality show "The Big Break.''

The NASCAR stars will play for charity. And bragging rights, of course. A previous "All-Star Challenge" featured members of the Boston Red Sox.

We'll hope to find out more, even see how these guys do at the Peninsula track. We'll let you know, hopefully, without spilling too many of the beans.

Golf Channel will air the segment on July 5.
