Pet Peeve: It’s not a “NASCAR.” You don’t drive a NASCAR. @NASCAR is a sanctioning body. A league. Derek Jeter was not a great Major League Baseball. Is Lebron your favorite NBA? No. That is all.

Folks, @NASCAR is REALLY trying to do this right. From Phelps, to many behind the scenes. Officials. Drivers. Crews. Spotters. Let’s ALL get behind our sport today & lift it up! Let’s not LOOK for things to knock it down. Enjoy the entertainment & honest effort being presented.

OPINION: I went to a track recently & had a chicken fingers basket w/ a drink. - $20. That’s unacceptable IMO. A philosophy that needs to be re-imagined. Reasonably affordable concessions are a must, especially for families wanting to attend a race.

Growing up... I never really fit in. Not in school. School was tough. I mean, tough. BUT, I always fit in at the racetrack. My family was there. My friends were there. Although life has a way of changing you, that will always be a truth for me. Thankful for Auto Racing.
