Who's the Best Back Seat Driver?

from National Public Radio

Melissa Block talks to Randy and Linda Burlison of Goreville, Ill. The pair took part in this morning's Blue Ox Back Seat Driver competition in Forest City, Iowa. They didn't do very well, but last year they came in third. The event -- in which a driver races backward while blindfolded and instructed by the voice of a companion over an intercom -- is in its eighth year. This year's winners were Eddie St. Angelo and J.R. Branson.
