Most memorable NASCAR moment(s):

I can’t pick just one. Rusty Wallace rolling end over end in the infield would be a good one and walking away. But I think my favorite would be JR coming back to Daytona in July of 2001 and winning the Pepsi 400.

Profile:

I live in Battle Creek, MI with my husband and two teenage daughters. I have a degree in history education with a minor in English this year. I often tease my students that NASCAR is my favorite pastime and sport because there is nowhere else that you get a lesson in Geography, history, math, physics, science, Linguistics, and geometry all on a Sunday afternoon.
My family and friends know that my weekends belong to NASCAR from Feb to Nov and I am glued to the computer and TV for all stats and races!
I am a JR fanatic and my husband follows Tony, so we fit well together.

Other interests:

I love reading, spending time with my daughters and following all things NASCAR. My girls tease me that I know way too much about the sport and that I should get a life.
