"Hold My Beer and Watch This" was invented in 1986 when a fan attended the 1986 Winston 500 at the Talladega Superspeedway and took the pace car on a joy ride. He was chased for two laps before being stopping for state troopers by the track crew

It was the track officials who ultimately caught the pace car thief. They set up a roadblock on the track, forcing the guy to slow and stop. Once he did, they pulled Crowder out of the vehicle just as police pulled up.
