Yay! Jeff Gordon is winning in Talladega.
And I don't care if you think I'm a redneck. I love watching NASCAR. One day, I'm going to go to Talladega and watch the race...maybe this fall.

:P

1. One Up
I am one up on you. I am related in a very round about way by marriage to Kasey Kahne.

3. Hey, that's nothing to be ashamed of!
Can you use your connection to see if you can snag two tickets to the next Talladega race? :D

2. Isnt Gordon one of the non-rednecks of NASCAR?
He doesnt speak in a drawl and enounciates.

6. Yes. He an Ernhardt have a kind of rivalry.
If you go to any T-shirt shops in the south, always displayed prominently in the window is the "8 THINGS I H8 ABOUT 24" shirt.

I really like Gordon.

10. Drawls are good
I may have been born in San Diego, but I grew up in Tennessee, and like that I still have a slight drawl. It went away when I lived in Seattle for a long time, but I still have it.

If anyone wants to judge my intellect by my accent, please go right ahead.

7. I think we're going to go this fall.
Actually, it's my son who is the huge J. Gordon fan. He wants to go watch a live race. I've gotten into watching NASCAR since my son became such a fan.

11. My first LIVE race was the Coca Cola 600 at Charlotte last year
AMAZING!!! Kinda scary running around NC in a DU shirt with 200,000 drunken rednecks, but the camping and partying was a BLAST!!!

5. Big NASCAR fan here
And I've never lived in the South. Dave Blaney is from my hometown, Youngstown, OH.

I wanna see Elliot Sadler win this one...

8. My kid is a huge Gordon fan.
He's going to be distraught if Jeff doesn't win. {He's even wearing his Jeff Gordon t-shirt right now, and he's been screaming at the TV. LOL! )

9. I like NASCAR
But Gordon sucks shitballs. Unctious, smarmy, born-againer Repuke. I root against him voraciously. He is the NYYankees of NASCAR. Loathesome shithole.
