Most memorable NASCAR moment(s):

Feb 04, when Jr won the Daytona. I thought I was going to have a stroke. lol June 2006 MIS. I was so excited to see the race, hear the cars go by and most of all see Jr driving! It was awesome, but it got rained out at 109 laps. First time it had been rained out since 1969. Figures huh? But at least I got to see the race for a little while. I didn't get to see that in AUG 2007 MIS!!! Spent the whole weekend with 3 teenagers in a tent getting soaked. I have never seen rain like that. Needless to say, the race wasn’t held until Tuesday. I didn’t even get to hear the cars, let alone watch them. Going back this year and will not leave until I see that race!!

Marital status:

Married

Profile:

Well, I am married to my bestest friend, Charlie. I have 2 beautiful daughters Jessie 16 & Erica 15. I work for our local hospital in the ER, registering pts as they come in. Love my job. I live in Traverse City, Michigan. I love it here. We are in the northern lower west side. Not far off Lake Michigan.
I love NASCAR. It’s my obsession. Never miss a race. One of my biggest dreams is to make it to as many races as I can. I WILL make it to Talladega, come hell or high water. hehe I’m a huge Dale Jr. fan. My husband likes him lots too. Jessie loves NASCAR like me, she is partial to Kasey and JR. Then we’ve got Erica, she thinks we are all nuts. LOL She is a real girly girl and has no love for NASCAR or any sports. I do love football and hockey too. Green Bay is my all time fave team. I am devasted that Favre retired. Still in shock.
Well, I’m sorry if I have bored you, but thanks for reading about me. Hope to learn lots about you.
Have a gr88 day!! God Bless and keep us all safe.
