we're almost there! and the twitter buzz!

Hi friends! Sorry the blogs are slow coming ek and I are crazy at work, and I sleep all the time it seems haha! But moving on, its almost daytona time almost a month! So excited! We want to know who you think will take the title this year, will it be a upfront driver like harivck or johnson or someone like jamie mac ? You tell us, all I know is this little southern girl is estatic!

Next, last week jeff gluck released some data from nascar saying most fans are between 40-61 roughly with a median age around 51. He said we needed more younger fans and some other stuff, but what I took out of that was that he's wrong. Sorry jeff but I'm pretty sure you're wrong. Last year when ek and I went to bristol we tailgated with a 88 year old man and a 50 old as well as some other middle aged folks. But there were tons of people around our age (21-23) younger and older, and all partying hard and supporting their drivers. It shouldn't matter nascars median fan age, but that we are all fans, and that we are. Nascar fans are hardcore, reguardless of age ;-)

Let us know what you think!

Happy new year, and many blessings!

Come back nascar

with the year wrapping up, I have just one request for the new year, HURRY UP DAYTONA!...I would end my blog here because really thats all that's on my mind, but I figured we needed a year of Nascar from this southern girls view so here we go :-)

This year was beyond amazing, between the friends we made at the race track, those we met through twitter, and everywhere in between it has been the best year of my life.  My goals in life before this year were : go to Bristol, meet kasey kahne, drive around a track.  (I didn't have many expectations apparently!) I have beyond exceeded these thanks to the good folks up at Bristol Motor Speedway, Miss EMILEE KATE BYERLY, and of course food city and Budweiser racing. As if meeting Kasey wasn't enough, in line he said "she may be the biggest fan, and shes definitely the prettiest" which to this point has been the greatest moment of my life (I'm not sure even my wedding day could compare to that lol!)  The Bristol race was all I dreamed and more, we had more than fun tailgating with folks we've never met before and getting to know everyone who works at Bristol.  Also, we got a chance to meet the amazing people of twitter, including lanette and jim williams, miss gina barlow, scott perrine (who put up with me in line to meet kasey bless his Yankee heart ;) ), john nelson, and so many others.  Meeting people who keep up with you, call and txt, and support me like family has been second to meeting kasey this year.  I couldn't imagine all this happening a year ago, but I'm so glad it did.  Thank you all for supporting us in this blog, and we honestly hope to meet all of you in the coming year! Feel free to share your favorite memory this race season with us, because that is what makes nascar so amazing, we are family and even in the off season we're connected :)

God bless you, and happy racing in '11! see yall on the start/finish!

xoxo

Who said Girls cant Drive?

EK here... Well I guess they haven't heard of Johanna Long.  Well Johanna Won the 43rd Snowball Derby earlier this December! Long is the 2nd Female to have won this race! Way to Go Girl!!! Long also made her NASCAR debut in 2010 with 7 starts in the Truck Series! She was so excited and did I mention she is only 18 years old! This girl has Big Dreams and they are coming true for her! Long said. "This is what I've dreamed of ever since I became a racer. I guess the saying is true Follow your dreams! I want to Wish her all the Luck and Blessing in the World! Keep Up the Good Work!

Lets Go Racing!

Also Now that the Christmas Season is over you will be hearing from us a lot more! Get Excited....We are!

Girls Gone Nascar....Taking over Nascar

56 Days until DAYTONA

We're testing at Daytona International!

Hello out there good friends! Hope all of you are staying warm and safe, we're covered in ice and cold here :-(  but regardless, we're getting closer to that exciting time of the year where things thaw and we get to watching NASCAR again ! As you know, daytonas being repaved, and now that project is finished! Yesterday several drivers went and tested, and the comment was made by "this year we're all completely even, its any ones race" and we want to hear from you, who is your pick for the Daytona 500.  We don't bash here, and we aren't mean, so none of that business, but if I was picking today I'd have to throw Denny or Kevin Harvick out there first, they really have a fire burning under their butt to want to prove their new driving ability, but then again who knows.  What I do know is that this is going to be an AMAZING race come Feb!  Let us know your picks, and thanks for tuning in!  I can't wait for Daytona and seeing who gets the win on that new asphalt!


XOXO
