I've never been one for blogging, but I've finally decided to give it a shot. I guess when you blog you're supposed to blog about the things you know about. Some talk about life in general, others about their job or families. While some of that may get mixed in here now and then, this is first and foremost a race fan's perspective on the greatest, yet most maddening race circuit in the world, NASCAR.
I started watching back in the late 90's when Jeff Gordon Ruled the sport and all the Earnhardt fans were still praying for an 8th championship. I was an on and off fan and would catch races whenever they were on. In 99 I went to my first race, The Coco Cola 600 and was hooked from there on. It was Matt Kenseth's first win, I got burnt to a crisp, and stayed in a cheap hotel and had an absolute blast. Over the years I've come to realize that short track races are where it's at. Sure it's fun to watch bump drafting at Daytona or the road course at Watkins Glen, but when it comes to going to the track and witnessing it first hand you just can't beat 43 cars on a 1/2 mile track.
The main reason I want to start this blog is simple, I've had a lot of opinions and thoughts on the sport over the years and this is a great way to get a log and look back over some of the random things from race to race and season to season. If you're reading this and other posts and find me to be completely ridiculous, go ahead and say so. If you want to share any opinion I look forward to it.
You may want to know who I'm a fan of. I've been a Gordon follower since the beginning, but I am not a sheep. I can give credit where credit is due, even when it hurts a little bit to do so. And I can be critical of my favorite drivers when the situation calls for it. I call things like I see them and like my coffee, there's no sugar added.
