Richard Kelly, 47, drove his Ford Puma into Darlington Hippodrome at high speed, narrowly missing other vehicles and pedestrians as it careered across Parkgate.
Kelly, who had not been wearing a seatbelt and smelled strongly of alcohol, was helped out of the car and taken to hospital suffering from broken ribs.
He was charged with dangerous driving and was sentenced to 12 months in prison when he appeared at Teeside Crown Court on 1 May.
