#88 on the countdown to Daytona comes from our new friendships we developed from being NASCAR fans. This is Miss Lanette, or as many of you know from twitter, @Missouriracefan. She is the reason NASCAR is amazing, she and her husband embody friendship, and a love of racing that spans across drivers, states, and age. In the past year just to give you an example of how awesome she is shes given me, emilee, and my little sister leslie (twitter name:lovinglogano2010) prizes from her race trips, and tweetups. She and her husband took the time to meet me and Emilee (emileekate48) at Bristol in August, and we've been in constant twitter communication ever since. Leslie, my little logano lover, called her our fairy godmother, which really is what she has been to me and Emilee. She is the fairy godmother of NASCAR, sharing in our personal achievements, and checking in on us everyday. She's way better than a mom, sister, or grandmother, she is always there with funny words, race humor, and advice on life and racing. So today is for you miss lanette and your husband for being what every NASCAR fan is, a fairy godmother to those of us new to the sport. 
As well, its almost time to order your season tickets, and regular season race tickets for Bristol Motor Speedway. So get on the phone, the ticketmaster, or whatever you use to get those bad boys and make it happen. Bristol was literally the best weekend of my life in August, and I know that we're going to top it in 2011. It's southern hospitality meets hard racing, and it will be the best race you see. Its tight knit, tailgaiting, and everyones family so you dont meet a stranger. Me and Emilee both would encourage you to attend this race at least once, but once you go you'll keep going back. Bristol Motor Speedway embodies and lives its motto of "Racin' the way it oughta be"
take care and have a great day friends! LJ
You honor me with your kind words. We enjoyed many wonderful experiences this year. One of the best was meeting our southern belles at Bristol. I remember talking and laughing while sitting in the shade under the canopy at Bristol. Jim was a bit overwhelmed :-) but both of us enjoyed every minute of your passion for your drivers and your enthusiasm for the race. Since then you daily encourage me with your tweets of love and encouragement. You will never know just how precious those words have been to me this year. God puts special people in your life and he gave me two little angels on earth when he orchestrated our paths converging. I love you both and am overwhelmed by your blog and your loving words.
