I'm a 23-year-old female from Toledo, Ohio and I've been a NASCAR fan since I was 11 years old. Actually, most would say that I'm obsessed with the sport since I can readily list random facts or stats. There's also the fact that I tend to get pretty irritated when I can't watch a race. Anyway, I am a recent graduate of the University of Toledo, where I have earned degrees in both Education and English. I'm now a substitute teacher for my local school district, sort of like what Carl Edwards was before his NASCAR fame. My hobbies include writing fiction, blogging weekly, playing NASCAR video games, and visiting NASCAR.COM every day to get the latest information and read the opinion columns (the Power Rankings are my favorite). Yep, I'm obsessed. P.S.: I accept most crew invitations, so feel free to invite me! The only invitations I won't accept are to "We hate (insert driver's name here)" crews. P.P.S.: I also celebrate each week's winner with my user pic. Please don't assume that the winner is my favorite driver. For all you know, I could actually dislike the guy! :P

Taking my dad to our first NASCAR race up at MIS on Father's Day. Taking my mom up to MIS to show her how great the sport is up close and personal.

Congrats to Kyle Busch on winning the first two phases of the Texas trifecta!
