I became a Dale, Sr. fan tonight… I think.

So I’ve always let it be known that I never cared much for Dale Earnhardt. When I was a teenager (over 10 years ago (cries) and liked Jeff Gordon, he was the one driver I loathed. He was the Michael Vick to my Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. When he died is when I was disattached with the sport. I said “hmm” and went on with my life. I knew who his son was and I knew he was different than his dad but I wasn’t phased by it.

My sports writer / radio host paper boy Adam showed me a web site last week, I forgot the url, but it said the only right turn ever made in NASCAR was by Dale Earnhardt. You can take that any way you want to take it. To me, I got a chuckle out of it because I know better. Can you say road courses?  Then there was the part of me that knew that was a horrible thing to say.

Yet.. I still really wasn’t an Senior fan… until tonight. (more…)

So tired, so very very tired

To say the least… this week has been on every end of the spectrum for me. It was exhausting, but satisfying…. happy, but sad…. and amazing, but devastating. Thankfully, I’m home, in my pj’s, and ready to go to bed. The sound of the Busch cars going around the track in Bristol for the race is making me sleepy. Who knew?

One thing though that has gotten to me is people disrespecting the things I like while in front of me. Are you really watching NASCAR? Elvis is overrated. Seriously… you don’t tell someone who’s middle name is Presley by CHOICE that Elvis is overrated. It’s not smart and not very gracious.

My pic for the Nextel Cup Bristol Race? Kasey Kahne or Kyle Busch… it’s a K… I can feel the K-ness.

You can click here to see another one of the new commercials too. So pretty.

NASCAR: Inconsiderate and Inconsistant?

I will be the first one to admit that I love a good fight on the track. Whether it’s bumping cars, bumping someone out of the way, rubbin’ is racing, or just getting out of the cars and knockin’ the wind out of each other - I love it. So when Kevin Harvick and Juan Pablo Montoya jumped out of their cars yesterday during the Watkins Glen race, I was cheering as if I was ringside at a boxing match. They pushed, shoved, grabbed helmets and then seperated by officials and Jeff Burton. Then there was the slip of “ass” by Harvick - a slip that was intentional and said to show harm to a fellow competitor.

So being the Tony Stewart fan that I am, you can imagine how shocked I was today when I hear that neither Montoya nor Harvick would be fined or penalized and that there would be no fine for the bleep that Harvick let loose on the air. (more…)

Intuition… I’ve got it bad.

That’s it. I’m quitting school and I am becoming a psychic. I told Penni and I told my Mom that…. I had a feeling. I always have my feelings. He would do good. One of my boys would do good. I know the feel well. I wake up with it or if it’s intense, like last year’s Pepsi 400… I will feel it days before hand. I had that feeling today and well…. we all know what happened. (more…)
