The American Dairy Association unveiled a large scale model car made out of cheese at Richmond International Raceway on Friday in Virginia.

It was modeled after Labonte's No. 5 Chevrolet and carved from 3,500 pounds of yellow cheddar cheese.

The car, which measures 5 feet high, 12 feet long and 6 feet wide, was made to support the new and cheesy paint scheme on Labonte's No. 5 Kellogg's-"Got Milk?" auto.

Experienced food sculptor Jim Victor cut the cheese, so to speak.

Experienced food sculptor Jim Victor ....

The existence of "food sculptors" is almost as disturbing as a car made from cheese.....

They come from dysfunctional families where the parents neglected to say "stop playing with your food".

Yeah, they showed it during the race Saturday night. Chris Myers made a "cut the cheese" quip while Terry Labonte was near the lead. Poor Terry. :^)
