With all the “hate” going on in the world and on this website lately, I thought I would put a spin on things and make a list of the drivers who are my “least preferred”. Since I don’t know them personally, although I have had a “run-in” with one of the drivers, I cannot say anything about their true person, but only on what I see at the track and on TV. The drivers may be genuine and WYSIWYG, but then again there may be those who do a 180 when the cameras aren’t rolling or when they aren’t signing autographs. Regardless, here are my least preferred with, now get this: THREE THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THEM!!! I think by doing this, I will be focusing on the POSITVE and not the negative! Also, it is really refreshing and makes you feel good to say nice things about others you don’t “prefer”—you know, just recall what you learned in Sunday School: Love your enemies. (ALTHOUGH THESE GUYS ARE NOT MY ENEMIES AS I DON’T REALLY KNOW THEM!)
HERE GOES:
1. Carl Edwards:
a. He is so nice to his mother.
b. He can do really great back flips (I used to do gymnastics, so I appreciate his effort!)
c. He works out and takes good care of his body.
2. Jeff Burton:
a. He seems like he is real close to his wife and kids.
b. He is more “old school” NASCAR, which I like.
c. He drives a Chevy.
3. Kyle Busch:
a. He was a good brace-wearer and kept them on ‘til his teeth were straightened.
b. He seems to get along well with Jimmie Johnson (although JJ gets along well with everyone).
c. He makes being “goofy” stylish, sort of like Eddie Haskell on “Leave It to Beaver” and Potsie Weber on “Happy Days.” Goofy is good; I appreciate goofy.
I know, those are cheesy, but that is the best that I can do! I searched really hard and dug in really deep and those are the ones that came to mind. I apologize to all of you who really like those drivers, but …”to each his own.”
Please respond with some of your own. Keep it simple and remember, you have to be nice! : )

My 3 least preferred drivers:
1. Jeff Gordon – - He has a beautiful wife and daughter. He drives for Rick Hendrick.
2. Robby Gordon – - He’s not afraid to be a single car owner and I give him credit for “diggin’” week after week!!!
3. Jimmie Johnson – - He’s from El Cajon, CA. He is attractive. He has an attractive wife. He drives for Rick Hendrick.
Thanks for the idea to do this, some how I do feel better as a person by releasing the ill feelings about these men.

I love this...
We should all pick a driver that we aren’t a fan of and say 3 nice things about him…Here’s mine
Michael Waltrip: He sure does love his kids!
He can get verbal with DW and win!
He has a great sense of humour.
Kyle Busch: He can drive anything.
He is passionate about racing.
He looks good in M&M’s?
Carl Edwards: He is physically fit.
He seems like a polite guy.
Family is important to him.
That’s it for me….3 more later.
