This blog site will
end as of today
Thanks Patricia for sharing your heart with us.
Monday morning after
the Daytona 500.
You may already know
that I am a NASCAR fan. This should not be confused with the
all inclusive title, "NASCAR Dad". I am not a blue
collar, "pry my cold dead fingers off my gun" gun
toting, hunting, fishing American, Republican, Bush/God
worshipping working dad. I do not now, nor have I ever owned a
Confederate flag. Gosh, can you imagine?
I simply enjoy the
sport of automobile racing. I did not enjoy seeing and
hearing driver Rusty Wallace say on Sunday that he did not
believe that Democrats attended the races. Is he nuts or just
sadly without a clue? Probably a little of both.
Anyway, before the race, bush flew in to Daytona. Thankfully
he didn't appear in a fire suit (the colorful fire
proof suits the drivers wear when they drive in the
race). He did however wear a little Daytona 500 jacket and he
did his usual meet and greet with the drivers etc. When
asked if he would like to drive one of the stock cars, bush took the
opportunity to mention that he flew jets when he was in the
Guard. At the mere mention of his service to his country,
everyone watching immediately fell to their knees and praised his
heroics. Not! So the race began and it was great.
My favorite driver didn't win but he did pretty damned well.
So even though bush was in attendance for half the race, it was a
successful event. There was the usual "big wreck"
and thankfully no one was badly injured. I do have two
wishes about this year's race, I wish the politics could have been
left in the garage, and I wish that Rusty Wallace could understand a
bit more clearly the political makeup of NASCAR fans.
