Such a Good Friend

You know you've got a good friend when she'll do your homework for you! My dear Sonja sent me pages of NASCAR tidbits & good ways to choose a driver. Brad & I are headed with several other couples to Texas on Thursday to watch NASCAR all weekend long.

I'm very much looking forward to getting away, but since I'm not a huge NASCAR fan myself (although Brad & the boys are) I don't have a "driver" to follow. I was actually kind of stressing out over who I should follow when my very wise friend showed me a smart way to choose a driver...

She listed all kinds of stats for the top 10 drivers & gave facts about them, and then said, and I quote, "HERE’S the latest STATS. This can help you determine who to follow. Or go with whoever has the cutest car. Ha. Or even better the cutest driver."

Nice! Now why was that so hard to figure out? Of course, I can just pick the cutest car or driver! I just needed my friend to point out the obvious! That's what true friends are for.

By the way, I've narrowed my choices down to Kasey Kahne, Ryan Newman & Jeff Gordon (Hunter's favorite). Maybe I'll choose who has the cutest car to see which one I'll really root for...

Here's my choice, Kasey Kahne & the Dodge car. I think he can do it even though he's only #17 right now. He has 1 win at Texas Motor Speedway, he has experience! See how much Sonja's information helped me?

Terri, good choice. I'm a diehard Nascar fan and KK is my driver. Need any tips, let me know. My husband and I were just at the Kansas race a couple of weeks ago. I would love to go again soon!!!

Take Care,

Tammy

That's too funny! It reminds me of times when Aaron asks me who I think is going to win a certain game (baseball, football, whatever). Since I never have a clue, I ask him what their colors are, and then I simply pick the winner according to which colors I like more!! Works for me!
