redneck woman

As I said earlier, I work in a day care. It was kind of funny because there was a kid there that I got close to and his parents are NASCAR fans. His mom told me she couldn't stand Gordon because he wins too much (as if that's a bad thing. . .LOL) Anyways, her favorite driver was or is Dale Jr (I think she was a Dale Sr fan) and dad's favorite driver is Martin - I got the child and his older brother going for J. Gordon. (Oops did I do that?) Now onto my two year old neice...LOL.

Not so much a fan of the car of tomorrow or of today now either, they dont' seem like they go so fast. But it is good that they have the safety upon it as they do. . .especially after seeing how bad of accidents Gordon has gotten into the last couple of years as well as other drivers.

I think the drivers should have enough insentive to win than to rely on more points to motivate them. The who points system frustrates me on how it is set upt just because if someone has a bad year but has a few wins, then they are placed on top in the points (such as Busch and Martin - though Martin has had a decent year). Where as other drivers who have had great years, but not as many wins get shuffled down and then forth. But that is my opinion...which could be very well tainted by the fact that the new point system has robbed Gordon of at least two championships since it has been implanted. But it does what it is suppose to do and that is to make it interesting and exciting...as long as your driver is in the chase that is.

Two more days to Atlanta. Am looking forward to it...am going through my NASCAR withdrawl . . .LOL.Well I guess I watched the Nationwide Series race, but still, there is no Gordon or Johnson or Jr in those. LOL Hopefully all our drivers have a good race under the lights...am excited if you can't tell. First time for a night race in Atlanta. Who knows...perhaps Bo and Luke will be in the grandstands LOL

Truck Series Race...I know a few of the drivers, but can't think of their names off the top of my head. There was a driver...Ron Hornaday I think it is that won five races in a row a few weeks ago in the truck series. Kyle Busch drives in them every once a while. Like I said, I don't really watch that race or the Nationwide race, but have caught a few laps here and there and usually see who wins when I go onto NASCAR.com.

Edwards would be a natural choice for you to chose him being from so close to you. Plus he seems to be a great guy and a good driver to boot for you to go for. I often say he is my favorite un-Hendrick Driver. LOL. I think it is him and Ambrose now that I like after my Hendrick boys. There was a guy named Cassil that drove in the Nationwide Series race that was from Iowa (where I am from) but haven't really seen his name this year so I really don't know what happened to him.

It is kinda sad how I picked Gordon to be my favorite...when I first started thinking I should get into it due to the Dukes, I was all about who was cute and so forth. (very sad, I know) Anyways, I got People's 50 Sexiest men or something like that and Gordon was in it...thought he was cute and was excited to see that he won championships and he drove a Chevy. At the time for some reason a Chevy was important and that he won was as well (I am a die hard Chicago Cubs fan -they've had a few good past seasons - but have the nickname as the loveable losers). So that was a plus that he would win as well...very sad on how I came to chose him to be my favorite, but trust me, it has come to be so much more than what it had started out to be. If that makes sense.

Well thanks for putting up with my novel long messages here about NASCAR. I love talking about it, but really don't have very many people to talk about it to. Other than my parents who are probably sick and tired of hearing about it. A thread or a club may be a good idea, but it would still be good (at least to me) to keep messaging like this! (If that makes sense as well) The book sounds very interesting! I love to read, sadly I don't have much time to read - you must be a fast reader to read a book in a week. I have never done that.
