NASCAR

I've been an avid fan of NASCAR for a few years now. Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Jr. cover my bedroom walls. Watching the race has always been exciting enough just by watching it on t.v. I never imagined I would ever go to a race! My dad always joked about it, and perhaps attempted to be serious, and saying he'd buy tickets for us to go as a family with my cousin, Brandon, who is a bigger fan than I am. I never take my dad seriously when he speaks of aspirations because a lot of the time they never happen. I know it is just his attempt at making everyone happy.

Luckily, I have a boyfriend who has taken my love for the race more serious than anyone else ever has. He is the one who has gifted everything NASCAR in my room. He never was a race fan himself, but compromised into letting me watch the race in between commercial breaks of Panther games. Through this, he's even grown to love the sport himself. I'm sure not as much as I do, but still that means something to me.

May 24th the date! Charlie bought us tickets to go see my man race! The one race I've missed was the one last year in June with Jr. won! Of course, I missed that one, because I was at the beach. Like an old Red Sox fan, I will always be prepared for the worst and not exactly expect my man to win. So, Charlie and I decided, that is Jr. gets screwed over, either in a wreck, or penalty, like he does often, we'll still yell loud and clear with excitement, not just to cheer Jr. on, but to hope and yell for Kyle Busch to lose. That will make the race just as joyful!

I couldn't ask for a better gift right now, and I cannot explain how excited I am for that day. I want to go all out, get all decked out in Jr. gear, since I already have some (obviously) I'll have to get Charlie Jr. attire. I'm thrilled, so I thought I would share my excitement on here to you guys!
