I watched the race off and on yesterday it was interesting and I loved the fact that my driver Brian Vickers made it all the way to second. It doesn’t happen much. Of course that is not where he finished, but it’s okay. Denny Hamlin won and thats cool so I’m not upset about the winner, actually I like the top 4. They all did well and it was a good race.

I couldn’t seem to get into the race though. I guess I had to much on my mind. Money mostly but I also didn’t feel right yesterday. I guess it was just a strange day. I’m still not feeling my best but I don’t have time to be sick. I’m trying to take it easy today because I start classes again tomorrow and I can’t miss them. Financial aid does not believe in people getting sick. I understand why it just sucks for those they do get sick the first few weeks.

So I’m finally watching the race and there was a huge wreck already, they have red flagged it ( put the race on hold) until the mess is cleaned up. They don’t do this often so if you don’t watch NASCAR, you can get an idea it’s bad. There was fire and a car flipped and I sat there with my mouth dropped to the floor.

So anyway I decided to get online and write about it. What was kinda funny about the whole thing is that my mom asked how much their life insurance was, because they were worried that one of the drivers was hurt. I wonder what their term life insurance quote would be! okay so I’m weird, but I really don’t want to know how much they pay, of course they may not pay much, it may be a perk of the job who knows.

Anyway, now I’m sitting here wondering whats going to happen next, they are talking about how bad the track is right now so who knows how long they will be racing today. At least I have the Oscars to watch if they stop, if they don’t I will be flipping between the two.

There is a chance that todays Sprint Cup race may be rained out, but as I was going through the NASCAR website I saw the ad for the NASCAR foundation. This is a great cause that anyone can help out with. Even if your not a NASCAR fan, but you know one you should check this out.

It’s very simple to participate, you buy a pin for $5 that money then goes to the NASCAR foundation, no it does not go to train drivers or pay for races, the money raised goes to helping different charities that NASCAR families have started, many help with chronic illness, education and wildlife conservation, If your still not sure about it, check out this link: supported charities to find out more about each charity and what they do.

I am buying a pin as soon as I’m done writing this. I did this a few years ago also and it’s really a great idea. Unfortunately I didn’t have anywhere to wear the pin on NASCAR Day, but this year I should have somewhere to wear it and anything else I buy before then. This year NASCAR Day is on Friday May 16th so there is still some time to get shopping and your donations in.

Of course I will be posting about this a few more times, so you won’t forget, it really is a great cause and helps thousands of children, families and environments in our country.

I’m very happy Ryan Newman won the 50th Daytona 500! He is not a top driver of mine, but he was one of my fathers so I am very excited he won the race. It was a pretty boring race at first, but the last 50 laps or so were very good and very entertaining.

My sisters friend is a Jr fan, but she drew Johnson’s name to win and she would have won $250 if he had won, so we were picking on her as she really does not like Jimmy. So that also made the day entertaining. There were no major crashes, which seemed weird, but it was still a good race and Brain finished 12th so I am very very happy. He’s a great driver he just has had some bad luck.

I’ll be back next week with more NASCAR highlights.

Well my plans for today fell through, but my sister is having a party so I’m going to be heading over there soon. I’m excited this year Brain made it into the race so I can cheer him on. Along with Kasey of course.

I love the excitement of it all. You get ready to watch and wonder who is going to win? Who is going to crash and what problems will happen with these cars. The best part about nascar is the excitement factor. You pick a car and hope it makes it to the end.

If you have never watched a race, check out this one, it’s a huge deal, then pick a car and see how it goes. I know many people think it’s silly watching men race around in a circle, but there is so much more to it then that. I’ll be back later with news on the winners!

I love reading. It’s relaxing and can really take you to another place that even a well written and visully stimulating movie can’t. You can get lost in a book for hours and I think that this book I’m going to tell you about is one of those books.

We all have a fasination with Hollywood even if it’s just a small curisity. I have always wondered what it would be like to be one of the normal types who knew the stars. In the book Celebutantes this is almost the case. Lola is the daughter of Hollywood elite, her father is a director and she is now givin the task of getting stars to wear her clothes to the oscars. She also likes to date actors and can’t seem to get things right.

This sounds to me like a very interesting read. Of course you men reading this may not like that too much, but hey you just had the superbowl, and I’ll be talking about NASCAR soon. Anyway if your interested you can get this book at amazon.com right now it’s on preorder, but it comes out at midnight so you can always get it then too.
