Watching all the Daytona coverage this July 4th weekend has gotten me sentimental over one of the best experiences I’ve ever had a race. Wait - who am I kidding? It was the best experience I’ve ever had a race, besides when I worked for Fox Sports for a week for the 2007 Daytona 500.
That weekend already consisted seeing all of the previous Daytona 500 winners, including the most recent, Jimmie Johnson, stick their feet, hands, and sign their name in cement blocks that would be placed outside Daytona USA. I got to meet a few drivers and crew chiefs, saw Tony Stewart win the only and last IROC race that I had ever seen, and saw Dale Earnhardt, Jr. win the Busch race that Friday night.
Now close your eyes and picture it. Wait, open your eyes or I can’t tell you what to picture.
July 1, 2006 and the weather was scorching hot. Thousands of fans pilled into Daytona International Speedway to see their favorite drivers burn rubber for 400 miles around the 2.5 oval track. (more…)

Yeah, so I wasn’t really into this season of “American Idol” but I’m sitting here listening to David Cook’s song and I really like it. I liked him better than that little Gayken wannabe anyway.
So what’s up with me today? I finished the planner and my internship is now over! I’m happy but kind of sad at the same time. I really enjoyed designing it and creating it. And apparently I did such a good job I’m getting paid even more than I should have, even though I don’t think I should, I’m not going to argue. I still owe the dentist a little bit of money so that will take care of that, plus leave me enough to buy my book for class this summer, if I need one. You can click on the thumbnail to see what the back and front cover looks like.
Other than that, I’ve got the Tony Stewart love/lust on full blast today for some reason. He cracked me up on Trackside tonight. I’m hoping, if there’s anyway possible, I can go to the Pepsi, I mean, Coke Zero 400, in Daytona, but I’m not betting on it. I brought it up to my Mom tonight and she’s like “I know, I was already thinking about it,” but we’ll see. That’s when my class will be winding down and I’ll be preparing for the paper to start up.
Ah Smoke, you rock my world. Kick their ass on Sunday!

Carrie Underwood is absolutely amazing in concert. After seeing her short set in Nashville over the summer, I knew she would put on a really good full concert and to say the least, I wasn’t disappointed. She performed all of my favorite songs on her albums except for “Some Hearts,” and even did a kick ass rendition of “Paradise City” by Guns ‘N’ Roses. Her live rendition of “So Small,” “All American Girl,” and “Don’t Forget To Remember Me” were absolutely amazing and not to mention her guitar skills. The girl played guitar on several songs - electric and acoustic.
We didn’t stay for all of Keith Urban because, I won’t lie, I’m not big on him. We did stay and see a few songs and he did really good. The video equipment and stuff for his screen were top notch stuff, it was almost like watching a DVD but it was live.
Then, I had to run into someone I would have rather not seen on the male sex there. Then he had the nerve today to text me to see if I got any good pics, which I did, but hell I’m still uploading Dierks pictures.
Carrie is freaking awesome.

I have been on a major Nick Carter kick all day. Yes, to all you NASCAR fans that visit this site, I am a certified Backstreet fanatic. Okay, so I don’t cry when I see them in concert, but I did tell Nick Carter to stop stalking me (long story). LMFAO! To deal with this stuff and after reminising of old internet “fame” in the Backstreet world, I’m going to start my own personal BSB site up again. Not one where people can post their stories, but one of my OWN. It will also include my NASCAR stories. McFanGirl and Backstreet Fiction will stay as they are but I think I need to do this for myself. (more…)

Do you know what I miss most about being younger? I miss jumping out of school for a weekend and heading to the beach on a whim’s notice. I used to go to St. George Island or Jekyll Island four or five times a year. Do you know the last time I went to a beach was? Weekend before last to Daytona Beach but never saw the beach. Before that was last year in Daytona when I was down there for a week working for Fox and before that…. I have no idea because I don’t remember. I remember going to the beach with my CD player and listening to Garth Brooks’ album or renting cruiser bicycles from the hotel like the one above (which you can see and riding it up and down the beach and through the trails. I miss those days. I haven’t ridden a bicycle since I went to the beach a few years ago. How sad is that? It’s so carefree to do something like that and you don’t have to worry about anything else in the world… it’s just you, the ocean, and your bicycle. I need to have a small beach vacation soon and do it all over again.

The 2008 Budweiser Shootout will go down in history for Dale Earnhardt, Jr. winning his first race for Hendrick Motorsports and for being by far the best race that I have ever seen in person. I knew when I woke up Friday morning that something big was going to happen in Daytona. I had the same feeling a few days before Tony Stewart won the 2006 Pepsi 400 in Daytona. Since I had that feeling and saw the results… I knew to follow my intuition. (more…)

Many, I come home and someone has hacked into my site I think and screwed with my .htaccess file! Bastards.
Want a tease? I’ll probably have photos uploaded to my flickr later tonight and write a post about everything tomorrow

After telling my new co-worker, Brian, yesterday that I wasn’t in the NASCAR mood and didn’t know why…. well less than 24 hours later, I’m buying tickets for the Budweiser Shootout in Daytona. Yes, Karah’s crazy. Yes, Karah’s crazy. I repeat, Karah is crazy. We’re just going down for the day and drive back and stay in Jacksonville and visit with an old friend of mine before coming back Sunday.
