New favorite TV show

I have a new favorite TV show. It's called NASCAR Drivers 360. I just read Tiffany's latest blog entry, and she mentioned last night's show, and I just wanted to let everyone know that I love the show. It's a neat show because it shows the everyday lives of different race car drivers. You feel more connected to them when you watch the race on Sunday, and I catch myself watching for them during the race.

And I have to say something to set the record straight: My two favorite drivers are Jeff Gordon and anyone beating Dale Jr. That being said...I don't dislike Dale Jr. as a person. In fact, I think that we have a lot in common: we both like computers and high-tech gadgets, he likes rock music (he even had my favorite band--Smash Mouth--on his car in 2001), we both lost our Dads at an early age, he seems shy (he's a superstar, but he was scared to go up to a girl and ask her out) and he's down to earth. It's just a shame his fans ruined me ever becoming a fan of Dale, Jr. The reason is simply because 99% of Dale Jr.'s fans are Dale Sr.'s fans who migrated to him after his emotional win at the Pepsi 400 in 2001. Once they decided to back Dale Sr.'s son instead of his team (RCR and Kevin Harvick), I didn't like him. (With the exception of Aunt Cheryl, Tiffany and Scott, I REALLY dislike Dale Sr.'s fans.) And I don't know that I would have disliked Dale Sr. as a person either. It was his fans. Had they backed Harvick instead of Dale, Jr. I would have the same feelings about Harvick and be a Dale Jr. fan.

Just wanted to get that out.

Yeah, I was thinking too, that you and Dale Jr. are a lot alike! Kind of scary!! Too bad your driver is a rival of his. You could have been a fan, too. But that's what makes following NASCAR fun...everyone likes different people. :)I'm glad you got that off of your chest! ;)
